Dash Cam Benefits
Dash cameras are small cameras that attach to the dashboard or windshield of a car and record video footage of the road.
Having become increasingly more popular in recent years, there are a variety of dash cam benefits. The biggest of all being that they’re great at providing drivers with peace of mind on the roads.
Here at Warrington Car Audio & Towbar Centre, we understand the importance of your safety and security, so we’re here to help you learn about the different dash cam benefits and why you should look at getting an installation with us.
So, what are the different dash cam benefits?
1. Provides Security
Dash cams can provide a level of security for drivers. They can help deter theft or vandalism of your car when it is parked, and they can also capture footage of any incidents that happen while you are away from your car. In fact, research has shown that 59% of people get a dash camera installation because of personal safety reasons.¹
2. Provides evidence in case of an accident
One of the main dash cam benefits is that they provide valuable evidence in case of an accident. The video footage captured by the dash cam can be used to prove who was at fault in the event of a collision. This can be particularly helpful in situations where there are conflicting stories or no witnesses.
3. Helps prevent fraudulent claims
Dash cams can also help prevent fraudulent insurance claims. Unfortunately, there are cases where people intentionally cause accidents to try and get money from insurance companies. The video footage captured by a dash cam can help prevent these types of fraudulent claims by providing evidence of what actually happened. Research has shown that in 2018 insurance fraud reached £1.2 billion with around 98,000 fraudulent claims having been reported.²
4. Monitors Your Driving
Another benefit of dash cams is that they can monitor your driving. Some dash cams have features like lane departure warnings or collision warnings that can help you become a better driver. They can also record your driving habits and provide feedback on things like speeding or hard braking.
5. Captures Unexpected Events
Dash cams can also capture events that happen in front of you. This footage can be shared on social media or with friends and family, making it a fun and interesting way to document your travels.
Overall, there are many dash cam benefits. From providing evidence in case of an accident to helping prevent fraudulent claims, monitoring your driving habits, capturing unexpected events, and providing a sense of security, a dash cam can be an incredibly useful tool for drivers.
