Dashcams
Dashcams (or Dashboard Camera or Car Cameras) according to Wikipedia are onboard cameras that continuously record the view through a vehicle's windscreen. They may be attached to the interior windscreen or to the top of the dashboard, by suction cup or adhesive-tape mount. Dashcams may provide video evidence in the event of an accident. Dashcam use is getting widespread in the Philippines as they provide footage in case of motor vehicle accidents. The video from a dashcam can be used as evidence. Time is saved in investigations and sketches as the video will tell the story. Videos from dashcams have been posted in YouTube, Facebook and other social media sites. Accidents, traffic violators, law-breakers, counter-flowers, red-light beaters and abusive traffic enforcers are some of the examples of the videos being posted in social media sites. And since you have a dashcam, you can drive with confidence. It will also be a reminder to drive defensively which in the end will make you a better driver. James Deakin, a motoring expert, has made it an advocacy for car owners to install dashcams. You can read more about it here. Also, James Deakin has started an online petition to make the use of dashcams mandatory at change.org, if you want to sign the petition, here is the link. If you wish to purchase dashcams, Lazada Philippines has a wide variety available and prices start as low as PHP499. You can view them here. So go ahead, and get your dashcam today!
