What is a dash cam?
A Car Camera is Your Extra Eye on the Road
A dashboard camera (Dash Cam or dashcam) is a specialized on-board surveillance camera designed to monitor and record driving incidents. Mounted to the windshield, your dash camera turns on automatically upon starting the ignition, and actively records video files with an auto-looping mechanism. It has real-time impact detection which allows the camera to store Incident Footage in a secure location during an impact. You can use the Video Files as supplementary evidence for insurance purposes, which can protect the driver against insurance frauds or hit-and-runs.

A Car Camera is your “Silent Witness”
In the event of an accident, it is often difficult for drivers to recall crucial details due to shock and stress. Often called the silent witness, a dash camera plays the critical role of a witness, which can protect the driver against unjustified liability. With an in-car dashboard camera you have a dependable, silent companion with you at all times on your journey.
Store and Analyse trip data with GPS
With the GPS feature*, the Dash Cam embeds crucial information such as Speed and Location to all video files. It also provides the speed and direction of the vehicle the moment a collision occurs. As well the GPS will provide the direction and severity of the collision for a clear and accurate assessment of the event. You can also trace and review the saved journeys that you (or anyone else behind the wheel) has driven.
Get in and go!
In this age of gadget overload, the last thing you would want is to worry about turning on yet another electrical device in your car. The Dash Cam automatically powers on and begins its video recording upon start. All crucial details will be captured in the event of an incident. In the case that an impact is registered, the dash cam records and stores the surrounding 20 seconds before and after to a Micro SD Card. This allows the driver to review the footage at a later date.
