DashCam

Your Android phone. As a Dashboard Camera. And it's free!

DashCam provides some peace-of-mind if you're involved in something unexpected. And it's free.

There's more people on the road every day. More people means more idiots. And more idiots means more accidents. If one of those idiots chooses you, DashCam will record everything that happened. And that'll help you if there's any problems with insurance claims, especially if the other driver isn't covered. And if it ends up in court, or it's someone else's word against yours, you'll have the evidence on video to back you up.

DashCam allows you to capture the idiocy, the bad behaviour, the road rage, and the crushing incompetence of some of the other drivers out there. It gives you the confidence to know that if something happens in front of you, it's recorded. And if there's any confusion (or aggression) about who's at fault, you'll be amazed at how much more polite people will become when they realise you've got everything on video.

Oh, and it's free!
