You probably know dash cams as standard issue for police cruisers, but these gadgets are being adopted by more private citizens every day. That’s because a dash cam offers real safety features to provide peace of mind for you and your family. Here are five ways a dash cam can help.
- A watchful eye. Dash cams record video in a loop from inside your car. Some models have a special parking mode that will put the cam to sleep while the engine is off, then wake it up if the cam detects vibration. Some systems will even send a notification and live-streaming video to your smartphone.
- Back it up. Some dash cams offer backup cameras to give you a clear view while in reverse. You can get into that tight parallel parking spot without worrying about dinging a fender or see if you’re about to hit the bike your kid left in the driveway
- Give me some space. The right dash cam model will alert you if you’re dangerously close to the vehicle in front of you, helping you avoid an accident.
- Keep tabs on a teen. Install a dash cam in the car your teenager drives to make sure they’re going where they’re supposed to go and following the rules of the road.
- Just the facts, ma’am. Of course, a dash cam is most useful for its intended purpose: to record footage in case of an accident. If you’re in an accident, dash cam footage can be vital in proving who is and is not at fault.
