SpyChest.com offers the DR-200 Vehicle Black Box Car Camera which
will record what happens outside (front view) and inside the car (driver and
passengers). It not only gives you high quality video and audio, but the exact
GPS location of any incident, using Google Maps integration. Which is essential
for police evidence, the time and date is also recorded.
Traffic Tickets
If you are accused of running a red light, you have dated
and timed proof to prove your innocence.
The camera also records driving speeds so that you can have
proof of the speed you were travelling. If you aren't the one driving the car,
again you have a video of the inside of the car so your license doesn't get penalized.
Car Accidents
No matter how careful you are when out on the road the same
can't be said for other drivers. If someone for cuts you off for example,
causing an accident, you would be able to show the true story via your car camera
video recording to law enforcement.
If you are in a car accident the impact triggers the camera
to record a new file on the SD card, marking it as G-force sensor recording.
This file is not overwritten like normal files, but only when the card is
reformatted on your computer.
If a child or animal steps straight out in front of you
without warning, you would want to be able to prove you weren't negligent or
distracted, wouldn't you?
The minimal cost of protection for a car camera would be
worth it when you consider months of law cases or the stress of being wrongly
accused.
Employees
If you employ sales reps, fleet drivers or are one yourself
the car camera could be invaluable for recording your journey for your
protection in any number of situations.
Inappropriate Behavior
Many of you will remember the episode of The Simpsons when
Homer reaches for a gummy bear that had stuck to the bottom of a lady who he
was giving a lift to. He pulled it free without thinking and had the whole town
after him for inappropriate behavior. When giving a work colleague or baby
sitter a lift home or picking up a hitch hiker or maybe picking up the neighbors
children from school, how it would be if you were accused unjustly of
inappropriate behavior? Not many car cameras record what is going on inside the
car and this could be the protection you might need one day.
Teenage Children
We all know that some teenagers may not be as responsible as
they could be when borrowing the family car. The recordings would show you
straight away if they are driving while texting, drinking alcohol, speeding or
filling the car up with rowdy friends!
The car camera not only runs when the ignition is on, but it
can be hard wired to run continuously to record damage to a parked car.
You can probably think of a number of other things that
might happen that you need protection for.
