Goodies for your prized possession.
In the past, discovering the cause of a traffi c accident was down to eyewitness accounts and physical evidence. Although the latter is always more reliable than the former, getting a complete picture could still be diffi cult due to the varying witness testimonies. Who saw what? Who hit who first? Was the car travelling at 60km/h or 70km/h? Questions like these are hard to answer, especially when tempers have flared.
The situation takes a turn for the worse when one driver insists that his version of events is the correct one, even if he/she is the one at fault. Dealing with such troublesome people has become easier with the advent of in-car video cameras. Thanks to these devices, motorists can now rely on unbiased footage to support and prove their statements. Camera models such as the BlackVue DR650GW-2CH are indispensable gadgets when it comes to protecting yourself from being singled out as the driver at fault. A gadget like this is also valuable in shielding yourself from false and/or inflated insurance claims, too. The DR650GW-2CH kit comprises not one but two cameras – a full-HD unit for the front and an HD unit for the rear. Naturally, the footage recorded by the rear-facing camera would be invaluable if you’re rear-ended.
Today’s in-car video cameras off er more than just sharp footage. They can also be connected to smartphones via apps, which let users watch and save videos to the cloud. With this feature, drivers no longer have to worry about having enough storage on their memory card, thus helping ensure that key footage will always be recorded. Having access to one’s in-car camera via your smartphone lets you check on your parked vehicle at any time as well. If your car is damaged in a hit-and-run incident, you can immediately save the footage to the cloud and your smartphone, thus facilitating accident reporting and insurance claims. When it comes to shielding yourself after an accident has occurred, your greatest ally is an in-car video camera – a silent, sharp and, more importantly, unbiased eyewitness.
