Dash Cams Can Contribute Substantially Towards Road Safety

With India’s high road fatalities and the alarming rise in road rage incidents, it is high time that Indian car owners adopt a new safety device – a dashboard camera (popularly known as ‘dash cam’). In today’s digital age, cameras and the functions they carry out are becoming more and more advanced with time. Obviously, dash cams too, are no exception.
Initially, dash cams were simple cameras that were fitted to law enforcement vehicles so that they could capture high-speed chases and capture traffic violations in the US around the 1930s. From then to now, there have been major improvements made to dashcams in terms of video quality -- nowadays night footage can now be recorded clearly using dashcams (due to the development of low-light sensors), and some dash cams can even record up to 4k video resolution!

Over the years, dashcam usage has proliferated in many countries of the world, with Russia, UK, Korea, and Australia leading the way in dashcam adoption for private vehicles.

With integrated technological advancements and functionalities (as mentioned above) in dash cams, vehicle owners can now be assured of their safety while on the road. Indeed, a dashcam is a great investment in your family’s and vehicle’s safety that can not only save you time and money but also offers you peace of mind, if any accident/mishap occurs. No one likes to be in an accident, but in case it occurs with your car, dash cams can prove your innocence in a court of law. As we all know, the video never lies, and therefore a dashcam effectively functions as your independent eyewitness to such unfortunate incidents, and provides a major boost to upgrade and enhance your road safety agenda!
