If you frequently travel on secondary roads and highways, installing a dashcam in your vehicle is now highly recommended. Besides improved safety, the video footage captured by this device can serve as evidence in the event of an accident. 4 Reasons to Equip Your Car with a Dashcam

An Additional Driver Assistance System for Older Cars

The advantage of a dashcam is that it’s not simply a camera in the car. It can be paired with G-sensors. Thanks to this technology, when the sensors detect sudden movements (loss of vehicle control or unusual braking), the camera automatically records a video.

Furthermore, if you have an older car that doesn’t have parking sensors, the dashcam can be connected to front and rear parking sensors. This allows you to benefit from a driver assistance system similar to that of a newer car.

Most dashcams are approved by insurance companies.

For some time now, all insurance companies in France have approved the use of a DVR camera. Furthermore, if your vehicle is equipped with this device, you can benefit from a discount of up to 30% on your insurance premiums.
