Dash cameras, often referred to as dash cams, are small video recording devices mounted on the dashboard or windshield of a vehicle. They continuously record the view through the front window while driving, capturing important footage in case of accidents or incidents on the road. Many dash cams also have features like loop recording, which overwrites old footage, and G-sensors that automatically save video during sudden movements. These devices can provide valuable evidence in disputes over accidents, helping to clarify what happened. Some dash cameras also offer additional features, such as night vision, GPS tracking, and even rear-facing cameras for comprehensive coverage of the vehicle's surroundings.
