What to Install in the Car to Prevent Fraud Accidents?

To prevent fraud accidents, install a dash cam in the car. Here is an introduction to dash cams: 1. Introduction: A dash cam is essentially an in-car camera that records video footage during driving and saves it on the memory card. It can capture scenic views along the journey and sudden incidents in front of the vehicle, aiding in determining responsibility in traffic accidents. 2. Angle: It is understood that most dash cams have a recording angle of around 100 degrees, which is sufficient to cover both lanes beside the vehicle. 3. Function: The current trend is toward multi-camera setups, such as dual-lens devices with front and rear cameras that can record simultaneously, capturing both the road ahead and the driver. There are also split dual-lens setups, where an additional camera is installed at the rear of the vehicle via a cable, enabling simultaneous recording of both the front and rear of the car.

I just bought a dash cam for my car, which is a great tool against fraudulent claims. I opted for a dual-camera model that records both the front and rear—the front camera faces the road while the rear monitors the tail, capturing high-definition footage with night vision to ensure no details are missed even at night. Installation was quite simple; I just stuck it above the windshield and connected it to the cigarette lighter for power, without needing to modify the car's original wiring. I’m using a 128GB memory card, which can store several days' worth of videos. In case of a fraudulent claim, just pulling up the footage would make the other party back down. Additionally, I put a sticker on the window that says '24/7 Recording—Fraud Won’t Work,' acting as a warning to deter anyone with ill intentions. Honestly, spending this small amount for peace of mind is totally worth it. Now, I feel much more secure driving around, without worrying about being scammed.

I think it's essential to have a dash cam installed in the car, especially the high-definition front and rear ones that can clearly capture the other party's license plate and actions. I use a 360-degree panoramic camera that covers all around the car body without any blind spots. When installing, be careful not to block the view; I fixed mine on the roof liner and hid the wires neatly. It automatically starts recording when driving, and if I encounter a suspected scam like someone suddenly rushing out, I pull over immediately to save the video as evidence. I recommend choosing a well-known brand dash cam with WiFi function so you can view it in real-time on your phone. Don't go for cheap off-brand ones as they may drop frames. Also, keep the windows clean to ensure clear footage. This device is effective against scams and can also reduce disputes.

Installing a dash cam is sufficient to prevent fraud. The one I use is simple and easy to operate. When purchasing, it should have HD and wide-angle functions, and it can be installed above the center of the windshield, powered via the cigarette lighter socket. The memory shouldn't be too small, at least 64GB. I regularly format the card to avoid it being full. My car doesn't have fancy equipment; the key is to record videos and back up evidence promptly. Paying more attention to road conditions while driving also reduces the chance of fraud.
