Dashcam:
A dashcam, short for dashboard camera, is a small video camera that is mounted on the dashboard or windshield of a vehicle to record the road ahead while driving. Dashcams have become increasingly popular among drivers for various reasons, including providing evidence in case of accidents, capturing memorable road trips, monitoring driving behavior, and protecting against insurance fraud.
Dashcams come in various shapes and sizes, with some models offering additional features such as GPS tracking, motion detection, and night vision capabilities. The footage recorded by a dashcam can be used to prove innocence in case of accidents, capture unexpected events on the road, and monitor the driving habits of oneself or others.
