Driver safety has become paramount to today’s driving experience, and especially when you are looking at European branded vehicles such as Audi. This increasing awareness and technological advances in recent years has led to a proliferation of driving assistance and safety products, as well as products which record video and location. One device which seems to have become very popular recently is the dash cam, otherwise known as digital video recorder, car DVR, drive recorder or even mirror cam.
Autofidelity now have our very own version of the humble dash cam. We like to call it an integrated drive incident recorder. Basically this system records as you drive using a front and rear facing camera to capture any incidents along the way. It also continues to work while the car is parked or stationary, so that any activity around the car during this time is also recorded. You can review the footage simply by removing the SD card, and downloading the dedicated PC viewer to your Windows PC.
Among the most common uses for this system are:
- Recording incidents or accidents while you drive
- Evidence in the event of an accident
- Sometimes it’s just not that easy to describe what happened in an accident, and, particularly in circumstances which might normally be considered to be your fault, you might need some evidence to support your claims. For example, a car backing into you on the street would almost certainly put you at fault if the other driver claimed that you hit them from behind.
- Protection against insurance fraud
- You only have to glance at Youtube to see some of the kinds of scams that insurance fraudsters have come up with to get you (or your insurance company) to pay up.
- Parking Protection
- Because your system will record events that happen around the car while it is parked or stationary, you might be amazed at what you capture. Anything from your car or another car being side swiped or damaged, and evidence of someone trying to break into your car (or another car) are just some of the possibilities.
- Vehicle Abuse and Misuse
- While you will know that you are recording events, not everyone will. When your vehicle is serviced, or driven by another person, you will be able to check up on exactly what has happened if you find the car is damaged or has a lot more kilometres on the odometer than you anticipated.
- Report Bad Drivers
- Many people are effected every day by road rage incidents or simply bad driving. The events that you capture while you are driving could help the keep the worst offenders off the road.
- Record your track day events or a scenic drive
- Whether you’re hurtling at break-neck speed around the track, or just wanting to keep a reminder of a great place that you have driven to, you will be able to capture the recordings, show them to friends, or just keep them for your own personal enjoyment.
