The popularity of in-vehicle cameras has soared over the past few years due to its varied, recognised benefits. Its primary purpose remains to capture every detail that occurs, both on-road and inside the vehicle. But it has since morphed into multi-purpose usage. An essential function of these feature-rich accessories is their easy coupling with different onboard technology, such as GPS devices.
These cameras are widely used globally by everyday drivers, driving instructors, bus drivers, police officers, and more. Here a few more benefits of in-vehicle cameras:
ADVANTAGES
EVIDENCE
The most known benefit- having a dashcam in your car means evidence at your fingertips should you be involved in or witness a car accident. Road rage and drink driving, among other unethical behaviour behind the wheel, are widespread. However, a dashboard camera can help police and other law enforcement punish offenders before the worst-case scenario happens.
The devices are purposefully placed with a view of the entire road ahead, perfectly capturing all details- and the majority of authorities in the UK now accept such footage as evidence. As such, they remain used to report reckless and dangerous drivers.
SAVE MONEY
In-vehicle cameras can prove cost-effective. For example, lower insurance premiums, as many insurers recognise their preventative nature and now offer a discount should you own one.
Aviva pioneered this by including a free dashboard camera for drivers who take out its black box insurance. AXA and Swiftcover both offer a ‘dashcam insurance discount’ when you get a quote and prove that you have one installed on your car.
SAFER DRIVING
The power a dashcam has to reward safe driving and punish dangerous habits behind the wheel is impactful. It encourages drivers to make better decisions.
Using Aviva as an example, the technology it uses for its car camera provides you with a score after each journey. A higher score is given to those drivers who show that they’re responsible when they take to the road. In turn, premiums can be reduced by the insurance company the more times this happens.
RECORD JOURNEYS
Are you fond of road trips, and you always go with your loved ones on occasional trips? Do you want to turn your road trip into an unforgettable journey that you can see over and over again- whenever nostalgia kicks in?
If so, then a dashboard camera is a worthy investment that will help you turn your road trip into a great experience and a memory you will cherish over the years.
If you are a creative person, you can turn your journey into your adventure – all you need is a touch of skill and creativity and a high-quality dash camera that will not let you down when you need it the most. Pack your stuff, install your camera, and you are good to go.
