A dash cam can record the road ahead and behind your vehicle, depending on which type of camera you have. There are different types of dash cams you can buy, the three main types are a front view, front and rear view and cabin view. Front view dash cams capture everything in front of you such as traffic. However, they lack the ability to capture what goes on behind, or at the sides of your vehicle. Cabin view dash cams provide a bird's eye view of what is inside your vehicle. These are commonly used car services like taxis. Front and rear view dash cams record the front and back view of your car. They are considered to be the best type of dash cam as they are helpful for recording accidents ahead of you as well as any rear end collisions.

Do dash cams reduce insurance?
Drivers with dash cams are often recognised by insurance companies as careful and confident drivers due to the video evidence they will have of their every journey. Some insurance providers offer discounted insurance as a result of this if your dashboard camera is very high quality. A dash cam can protect you against any false insurance claims. For example, if another driver brakes in front of you with the intention to make a claim, you can combat this with a dash cam as you will have a witness to the incident which can prove exactly what happened. Many insurance companies will use dash cam footage to resolve the case of a claim.
