If you drive a lot, then it’s probably a good idea to have a dash cam to add that extra little bit of protection when being on the road. And while it won’t actually stop you from an accident, it can give the police and your insurance company a video record of what happened. In fact, some of the better dash cam bundles include both a front and back cam, as well as things like higher resolutions, HDR recording, and infra-red for nighttime, although all these extra features tend to make them pricey. Luckily, dash cams have come a long way, and you don’t need to buy the best dash cams anymore to get something with relatively solid video quality and features. Even so, we’ve gone out and collected some of the best deals we could find, from the budget-friendly to the truly high-end.
Also, if you’re worried about things like theft when you’re at home, you may want to consider grabbing one of these security camera deals to get a little bit more overview of your driveway and car.
