Dashboard Cameras Being Acclaimed
The growth of the use of dashboard cameras commercially has been built on a number of factors that enhance companies’ security and enable benefits through means such as lowering of insurance premiums, and so pave the way for general use through its established benefits in practice.
The benefit through the use of CCTV in the vehicles lowers the frequency and cost of claims, reduce insurance premiums, promote road safety and protect one’s business.
Vehicle cameras offer solutions for private and public application, extending beyond a windscreen view, to a 360 degree capability that ensures complete vision of the roads driven on, so as to speed up and protect drivers in liability claims. Dashboard cameras like these are available on most e-commerce websites like Amazon or eBay, but www.visiontrack.com are considered one of the specialists in the market right now.
The benefits of dashboard cameras are considerable. They provide vital evidence in the event of road traffic incidents, as shown in police overriding a not-guilty plea from the accused. In effect, it saves the court costs, due to hard evidence damning/exonerating the accused. This also ensures a greater ability to secure justice; the lack of independent witnesses or honest drivers means one’s innocence being upheld may rely on video evidence.
However, dashboard cameras also have a personal/private application. Car insurance may not extend to possessions in the car, so without insurance covering loss, vehicle cameras offer another means to rectifying the incident against you, through identifying the assailant, as was the case recently whereby damage to a £100,000 Aston Martin was recorded and the culprit recognisable through the vehicle camera. In addition to their deterrent and reassurance effect, having a camera in your car gives one the ability to exonerate themselves in disputes, for example insurance claims.
Businesses who have a fleet of commercial vehicles should also seriously consider installing vehicle cameras, mainly due to fraudulent claims. ‘Crash-for-cash’ scams have unfortunately become more and more frequent in recent years, whereby a driver has hit their brake and slowed down when there is no reason to, resulting in the vehicle behind hitting into them. However, with a front-facing camera installed, this incident can be recorded as the camera will clearly see the driver breaking for no reason. So a business who has fleet insurance via companies such as www.fleetscompare.com can show this to their insurer and there will be evidence to prove it is a fraudulent claim and come to a fair judgement.
Vehicle Cameras are another step towards the evolution of lowering insurance costs and enhancing the efficacy of liability claims. Where there are disputed cases, or cases where there is no evidence but for your own eyes, the use of vehicle cameras that share your experience and therefore have the power of an infallible testimony mean as a driver your interests are best protected.
With Dashboard cameras of a high quality, such as not being hindered by bad weather visuals, greater financial protection is assured.
