What is a dash cam and how does it work?
A dash cam is basically a video camera that can be installed in your car (usually to the windshield) and constantly records video (and sometimes audio) as you drive. It’s also called a dash camera, in-car camera system, car black box or car Digital Video Recorder (DVR).
Can a dash cam record from more than one lens?
These dashcams can record from more than one camera lens at a time. Typically they utilize one forward-facing lens to record what is happening in front of the vehicle, and one inside-facing lens to record what is happening inside the vehicle.
Is a dash cam a good investment?
Whether you’re concerned about theft, keeping an eye on your business fleet, accident claims, or your teenager’s driving habits, a dash cam is a great investment. Dash cams provide excellent visual information in the case of theft and vandalism but are more typically used for an accurate recording of driving events and accidents.
Where should I Mount my dash cam?
The Windshield: For drivers looking to obtain a clear and unobstructed view of the road ahead, the windshield is often the most ideal location for your dash cam. In order to prevent an obstructed view, it is recommended that you mount your cam behind the rearview mirror since this line of vision is already technically blocked.
