The Importance of Quality Dash Cams The dash cam is a surveillance-oriented video recorder mounted on the windscreen of a vehicle facing out to the road. It tracks the events going on around your car into a micro SD card and stores video evidence if incidents occur. Dash cams automatically power up and record when your engine turns on and automatically turns off and stops recording when the engine is turned off. Dash cams are powered through a cig- arette lighter socket through the power cord. Papago dash cams can continue to record even when you have parked and are away from your vehicle to catch vandals, rogue criminals and can monitor your garage/property. These parked recording features are enabled by hard wiring your dash cam to your battery. A dash cam provides irrefutable video evidence for protection from false accusations after the incident, including drunk drivers, road rage and insurance fraud. Crash investigators can use this important footage to help you figure out what happened in the lead up to an acci- dent. Today, dash cams are used by most drivers in Europe, America, Russia, South Korea, Southeast Asia and are rap- idly growing in popularity in Australia. The importance of quality dash cams are: protecting yourself – dash cams are important because it helps drivers protect themselves from false accusations in road incidents. It's clear that no matter how careful you drive, if other drivers are not careful, you can easily end up in an accident. You may be charged guilty by your insurance company, depending on the situation; and, stopping vandalism/hit and run and monitor your parked vehicle – Papago dash cams can protect cus- tomer's cars from being vandalized while parked. With the use of a hardwire kit to provide constant power, the dash cam can be triggered by motion or impact and record what is happening around the parked car. We all know what mall/supermarket car parks are like. In most cases, the careless driver will leave the scene without giving details. The dash cam can help prove to your insur- ance company that you did not cause the damage yourself, or in the case of inten- tional damage, the footage can be shown to the police. Other reasons quality dash cams are important include: with a quality dash cam, employers can monitor and ensure employees are following compa- ny rules when driving fleet vehicles; a quality dash cam provides irrefutable video evidence in the event of a road incident – false accusations can be dis- puted; some quality dash cam models provide GPS location tracking and vehicle speed; a quality dash cam is indispensable because it provides pro- tection and evidence from hit and run incidents, car theft and malicious dam- age; a quality dash cam is easy to install and easy to use; and may reduce the time to settle a claim by an insurance company or court.
