What is the purpose of a dashcam?

Dash cams are small, dashboard-mounted cameras that record video and audio footage of everything that happens while you’re driving. Some dash cams come equipped with GPS tracking capabilities and can automatically save footage in the event of an accident. The purpose of a dash cam is to provide drivers with a record of what happened in the event of an accident or other incident. Dash cams can help settle disputes with insurance companies or authorities and provide valuable evidence in hit-and-run accidents or other crimes. Some people also use them for monitoring driving habits or recording scenic routes.
