While dash cams have been in use by law enforcement in the United States for decades, other businesses and private individuals are finding benefits of installing the devices. Historically a vehicle dash camera or a backup camera have been very expensive after-market add-ons.  With the advent of lower cost, high quality digital cameras, the expense of adding a system to your personal or commercial vehicle has dropped dramatically.

Why Have Dash Cams?

  • Employee protection. Dash cams with dual cameras will not only record the events in front of the vehicle, but will also record what happens inside the vehicle. For commercial vehicles such as taxis, this offers an unbeatable layer of protection for the operator.  Passengers are aware that they are being recorded and, therefore, can be identified in the case of a crime.
  • Corporate fleets. Businesses with corporate fleets may want more information on how their vehicles are being used by employees. Dash cams offer the ability to collect important information in the event of an accident or misuse.
  • Personal interest. In countries like the United Kingdom and Russia, the popularity of dash cams is soaring. Drivers want to have proof of their innocence in the case of an accident or simply enjoy recording the events that happen on their commutes.

Five Noteworthy Dash Cams

No matter the reason for choosing a dash cam, we believe the following five dash cams are noteworthy for their excellent features, quality, and value:

  1. RVS-KP1 Dash Camera with Remote Access – This high quality dash cam uses 3G/4G video to record events that occur in front of the vehicle. Should the KP1 detect an accident, the unit will automatically email a 10-second video clip to any authorized email within 60 seconds.
  2. DR750LW-2CH Blackvue Dash Camera – The Backvue includes dual cameras, front and driver, that can be viewed via a 4 inch screen. With built-in WiFi, the camera connects easily to mobile devices.

We encourage you to carefully consider your purposes prior to choosing a dash cam.  What do you wish to accomplish? Under what conditions will this camera be used?  Knowing the answers to these questions will enable you or your company to choose the dash cam that best aligns with your goals.
