If having a positive impact on driving wasn’t enough, installing a dash cam can help make car insurance cheaper. With some motorists finding that their insurance decreases by as much as 20%.

Disadvantages of dash cam use

Of course, for every advantage, some motorists have found several disadvantages for owning a dash cam. Being distracted by the dash cam is the main complaint. Because they are positioned on either the windscreen or dashboard, they can create a blind spot for drivers.
In addition, dash cams could be a target for theft. Because dash cams are left in plain sight.

Depending on the model of your dash cam, there is a potential risk to your privacy. Some dash cams are Wi-Fi enabled and there’s a potential for the footage stored on the devices to be hacked. Should you be involved in an accident and your footage is vital evidence, your device could become a target.

How to choose a dash cam?

If you’re looking to buy a dash cam there are a few things you should consider.

Video quality: High Definition (1080p) equipment with nigh vision capabilities and a high-quality lens will offer you the clearest video footage. You might also want to consider a camera with motion detectors which will start capturing video of any approaching threats regardless of whether you’re driving or not.

Connectivity and storage: Choosing a camera with larger memory cards will ensure you’re able to store more video footage before being downloaded. This is particularly useful for businesses and drivers who spent a lot of time on the road. Wi-Fi enabled devices make it easier to download footage.

Ultimately, installing a dash cam helps give you and other drivers peace of mind and can help contribute to safer roads overall.
