There’s a wealth of in car CCTV systems on the market these days, ranging from entry level dash cams to all singing, all dancing HD cameras with wi-fi connectivity. In car CCTV not only offers you the chance to capture “you’ve been framed” worthy footage of some hilarious parking gaffes, the evidence it provides in the event of an incident on the road could be vital in a disputed insurance claim or in the event of a more serious incident involving the police.

Many drivers leave the scene of an accident that wasn’t their fault feeling reassured by the other party only to find them changing their story when it comes to dealing with the insurers. Keeping a record of what goes on during an incident is a great asset to have and you may see something you missed in the heat of the moment when reviewing the footage.

Another benefit of in car cameras is in catching vandals. Unfortunately there are some mindless idiots that will damage a car parked on the road for no reason (wing mirrors seem to be very tempting to drunken yobs at chucking out time on a Saturday night!) and video footage of the perpetrator maybe the only way of catching them and securing a conviction. This scenario makes a camera with good night/ low light vision as such vandalism usually occurs at night.
