How to Choose a Dash Cam

What is the Best Dash Cam in 2024?

Fleet operations are evolving, and dash cams are now a crucial safety investment for fleets.
Selecting the right dash cam is a decision that most fleet owners, operators, and safety leaders are already thinking about or will in the near future. The right dash cam can significantly impact a fleet's profitability and safety.

Having access to video footage provides an accurate account of road events, making dash cams a tool that directly lowers claim expenses and enhances driver safety. Many of our customers have seen incident reduction by 30 - 60% and a decrease in claims costs by about 50%. In some cases, fleets have reduced claims costs and insurance spending by as much as 84% with SureCam. The benefits are clear for most fleets, but finding the right solution can be a challenge.

How to Choose the Right Dash Cam

Choosing a dash cam can feel overwhelming with so many options on the market. Here are some things to think about to help you pick the right one for your fleet:

• Video quality: Find a dash cam that records in high-definition (HD) or even ultra-high-definition (UHD) resolution. Higher resolution means clearer video, which is important for accidents or incidents.
• Night vision: If your drivers often drive at night, consider a dash cam with night vision. It ensures clear footage in low-light conditions.
• Size and Design: Think about the dash cam's size and design. A compact, discreet design is better as it won't obstruct your driver's view.
• Storage: Check the dash cam's storage capacity. Some use microSD cards, others have built-in storage or connect to the cloud.
• GPS Tracking: Some dash cams have GPS tracking to monitor your fleet's location.
• Price: Find a dash cam that offers good value and fits your budget. Don't compromise on safety for a lower price.
