Dashcams explained
A dashcam is a camera system for your vehicle that compiles video and audio recordings of your trip. Dashcams are typically linked to the engine so that the recording begins when you start your vehicle.
These recordings can be used as evidence of what took place if you are involved in an accident. Some models feature a parking mode, which makes a recording if an impact occurs. This feature makes it possible to collect useful evidence if someone bumps into your vehicle.

There are three main types of dashcams. The front-view dashcam makes recordings in front of your vehicle. While these models are an affordable option, they don’t make recordings for the rear of your vehicle. Front- and back-view cameras allow you to make recordings in front and behind your vehicle. These models are a worthwhile investment as they can be used to prove the course of events if someone bumps into the back of your car. Cabin-view dashcams document what takes place inside your vehicle.
3 reasons you need to buy a dashcam
1. It encourages responsible driving
Dashcams can help you to improve your driving habits. These devices help you to identify bad habits when you’re behind the wheel of your vehicle. You’ll be able to monitor the distance between your car and the vehicle in front of you so that you can make sure that you’re achieving optimum safety. Business owners who have a fleet of vehicles can use these cameras to monitor the performance of their drivers. Dashcams promote responsible driving among staff members, which reduces the risk of accidents and also decreases running costs.

2. It gives you evidence in case of a car accident
If you’re involved in an accident and there’s a disagreement about what occurred, you can use your dashcam recording to prove the series of events that took place. Dashcams play a role in reducing the stress that can accompany insurance claims. These devices can also help to speed up the claim process so that you receive your payment when you need it the most. They also play a role in decreasing theft. Dashcams can be useful if you think that you’ve been targeted in a crash for financial gain scam.

3. It enables you to report bad driving
The recordings from a dashcam can be used as evidence to prove if another road user has bad driving habits that endanger other drivers. Bad drivers can put other road users in danger so reporting them can help to improve the standard of driving on South African roads. If you don’t have an eyewitness to verify your account of the events, you will have difficulty proving your case. However, with a dashcam, you will have the evidence that you need to support your account of what took place. An investigation will still take place but the recording from your dashcam will increase your chances of being successful. With the high rate of road rage incidents, evidence from your dashcam can help to protect you as well as other road users.
