Witness Cameras (Dash Cams)
SERVICE OVERVIEW
Since the ‘crash for cash’ scams started in the UK witness cameras have gradually become an essential protection device for your no claims bonus. Good quality systems with GPS location, time and vehicle data plus good quality night vision are basic requirements to enable your insurance accident investigator to conclude who was at fault avoiding the old ‘knock for knock’ settlement and retaining your clean insurance record. Top systems record your driving and in the event of an accident (it can sense a ‘bump’ via its detector device) takes that recording and files it in a safe place until needed. Scammers and road rage monkeys don’t like these cameras because they can lead to a conviction so it is no longer a case of ‘my word against theirs’. I addition, top systems stay on guard even when the ignition keys are removed waking up if anyone comes within its range.
There are several models available to suit your vehicle or pocket. Do not bother with cameras that do not meet the criteria mentioned above as you will be wasting your money. We are happy to install your camera purchased elsewhere so long as it is of reasonable quality.
We do not guarantee any product that is not supplied by us.
