What is a dashcam?
A dashcam is also called dashboard camera or car camp. It's all the same and let's just call it dashcam. Some write it as Dash cam, which is actually an abbreviation of dashboard camera. But it's not clear, I think so. A dash camera is therefore used in a vehicle and is mounted on the front door by means of a suction cup or a double sided tape attachment.
A dashboard camera makes recordings from the dashboard. In this way, it is immediately clear to insurers who the debt question lies with. In Russia, virtually every vehicle has a dashboard camera. In the Netherlands, dashboard cameras are still relatively little used. However, dashboard cameras are becoming increasingly popular, and Dutch insurers also provide evidence of dictation of cameras more and more.
DASHBOARD CAMERA FOR SECURITY
A collision can be an annoying and sometimes even traumatic experience. In addition to the shock and the possible injury you also get financial damage. Unfortunately, it is not always clear who is responsible for the debt
question, and sometimes it requires extra investigation. Because this does not always happen, your situation may be unprofitable! That would, of course, be very annoying and certainly when you are not guilty during a collision and you are held responsible for the damage caused. In such cases, the images of a dashboard camera are ideal for supporting evidence.
DOES A DASHBOARD PROVIDE CAMERA DISCOUNT ON PREMIUM?At the moment there are no insurers who offer camera discount on the premium when using a dashboard. In the UK, this may be the case, there may also be Dutch insurers offering this in the future.
Dashboard Camera Forbidden In Some European Countries.
In some countries, a dashboard camera is not allowed. For example, in Portugal, you can get a fine of € 2,500 and in Austria even up to € 10,000. Check the current laws and regulations to find out whether or not a dashboard camera in specific countries is allowed!
Buying Tips
At dashcameraportal.com we offer different types of dashboard cameras. All cameras have been extensively tested and the functionalities are compared. Via our web shop, we offer VGA and HD dashboard cameras. The differences in resolution are quite large in both cameras; the cheaper cameras usually use VGA and with more expensive cameras HD. HD is very sharp and VGA usually quite blurred. Especially when higher speeds are reached and if much happens, VGA is insufficient.
In addition to the resolution, it is important to buy only the best front and rear dash cam for your personal security. Look at the number of frames per second.The more frames per second are recorded, the better to follow certain events. Finally, the angle in which a dashboard camera film is important. The larger the angle, the more the images can be seen. Usually, there is an overview of 85 to 120 degrees! Do you also want to film in your vehicle? Then a dashboard camera with dual lens is required, so you can shoot inside and outside at the same time. Useful for taxis and transport companies!
