00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,839
it seems like it wasn't long ago that the only places we really saw dash cams

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:10,800
were when we were sitting on our couches B watching episodes of Cops and laughing

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:15,280
as the police had to respond to a report of an alligator on the loose or whatever

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:18,840
but with the decreasing costs of portable video recorders I mean you can

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:24,160
get smartphones with basic cameras for like $20 these days dash cams have

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:28,199
become popular with ordinary drivers for a number of reasons other than just

7
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:32,360
watching spectacular footage of Russian car accidents one of the biggest of

8
00:00:30,119 --> 00:00:37,000
these is to record evidence to show your insurance company or the court if it

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:41,600
comes to that in the event of a wreck since it can be hard to determine who's

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:46,920
telling the truth and Witnesses aren't always available in fact many insurance

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:52,199
companies now offer discounts to drivers with dash cams giving drivers an even

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:57,160
bigger incentive to buy one but which one should you pick at first glance

13
00:00:55,359 --> 00:01:00,600
buying a dash cam seems like a pretty straightforward Affair since they're

14
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:05,600
just cameras that sit on your dashboard and record everything however some dash

15
00:01:03,559 --> 00:01:10,640
cams have nicer features that can make your life a little bit easier because

16
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:15,400
dash cams record continuously on a limited amount of storage such as an SD

17
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:19,799
card a good idea is to get something with a looping function that will

18
00:01:17,479 --> 00:01:24,439
automatically record over your old video that you no longer need when the card

19
00:01:21,479 --> 00:01:27,560
reaches its capacity but lonus what if someone hits me because they were

20
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:31,960
playing Pokémon go behind the wheel instead of paying attention to the road

21
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:37,240
will my dash cam just record over it if I leave it sitting for too long well if

22
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:42,119
you bought a quality model it shouldn't as many dash cams also have a GeForce

23
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:46,719
sensor that can detect sudden changes in acceleration including impacts with

24
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:51,560
other vehicles when this happens your camera will remember to save whatever it

25
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:56,240
was recording at that time instead of overriding it of course making sure your

26
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:00,079
footage gets saved won't be much help if you had an accident while driving at

27
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:04,920
night and your camera is struggling to record in the darkness so it's also not

28
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:10,599
a bad idea to check a dash Cam's nighttime video quality unfortunately

29
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:15,480
dash cams that have infrared or night vision which you can learn more about

30
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:18,040
here often aren't all that reliable so a

31
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:22,560
camera that advertises that as a feature might not necessarily work as promised

32
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,800
other bells and whistles include things like Lane departure warnings uh motion

33
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:31,120
sensors that can switch the camera on when you're parked to record things like

34
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:36,560
break-ins or battery backup so you can use it outside of your car if need be

35
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:41,920
but none of these are a substitute for good old-fashioned image quality given

36
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:47,080
that it's quite easy to find full 1080p dash cams for well under a $1 these days

37
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,159
there's not much reason to go with anything lower and you might want to

38
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:56,239
consider getting something with a wider resolution such as 2560 by 1080 so

39
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,720
you'll end up capturing more of the stuff that's going on in the sides of

40
00:02:58,519 --> 00:03:05,040
your car as well but before you rush out to buy a new

41
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:10,159
dash cam make sure you know what's legal in your area while some countries like

42
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:16,000
the US generally allow video recording in public spaces like highways other

43
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,840
countries like Austria ban them outright

44
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:22,440
and a number of other European countries like Germany have placed restrictions on

45
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:27,319
their use and restrictions on where you can post footage due to concerns over

46
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:31,640
privacy but if the local cops have no problem with dash cam usage do your

47
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,680
homework and pick up something reliable not only will you have greater peace of

48
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:40,159
mind but you might just capture the next viral video of a falling meteor or

49
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:46,040
kangaroo attack on your next daily commute speaking of kangaroo attacks
