Reasons to Invest in a Dash Cam
Using a dashboard camera can provide you with a range of benefits. It can help provide you with evidence in the event of a crash and can also help you with your car insurance. Dash cams are reasonably priced, and you can expect to purchase one for around $100.
Many dash cams record hours of video in a continuous loop. The most recent video will replace the older footage once you start your vehicle. You can purchase higher-grade cameras that can even record when your car is off, that are triggered by motion sensors or are equipped with GPS sensors that can overlay the speed, time, and location. Other dash cams offer a two-way video of the road ahead of you and of the passengers inside of your car.

Your car insurance protects you and others from excessive fees in the event that your car is stolen, damaged, or involved in an accident.
