    What is a dash camera?


    A dash camera is a video recording device for your vehicle that records onto an SD card or hard-drive to provide irrefutable evidence in the event of an accident or incident.

    Dash cameras are programmed to continuously loop recorded footage on the memory card, overwriting the oldest footage when a current recording is made.

    Many of our dash cameras are equipped with a feature called WiFi, which allows you to review/watch/share footage from the camera on your smartphone or tablet (when sitting in the vehicle).

    Why do I need a dash camera?


    You need a dash camera for a variety of reasons such as:

    • Liability protection in the case of an accident (recorded footage of accident)
    • Protection of the vehicle while parked (recording an incident while the vehicle is parked)
    • Hit and Run evidence recording (capture video of the perpetrator)
    • Protection from road rage incidents
    • Liability protection for ride-share drivers (tax/UBER drivers)
    • Cargo protection for fleet vehicles (reduce theft or damage of good by capturing video)
    • Industry Compliance (snow plow operators etc. can capture video of work completed)
    • Funny and Interesting videos
    • Family protection (teen drivers, elderly drivers)

    The video below is from a Lockdown Security customer, the driver of the dump truck tried to blame our client for the accident, the dash camera proved otherwise!
