Protect yourself from car accident disputes with new Uniden in-car camera
Announcement posted by Uniden Australia 24 Jan 2013
Comprising of two models – the iGO Cam 300 and iGO Cam 800 – Uniden’s in-car camera range offers the latest in ‘black box’ vehicle accident recording technology. Mounted on the inside of the car windscreen, the iGO Cam will automatically detect any sudden changes in car movement, such as when an accident occurs, and immediately record the footage in High Definition. Whether they happen while parking at the shops, commuting to work or operating as a professional driver, all incidents can be recorded on the iGO Cam, providing evidence of who is at fault and enabling drivers to easily report incidents to police and insurance companies.
The Uniden iGO Cam can also be set up to continuously capture road vision and users can playback journeys taken. This makes the cameras ideal for recreational drivers such as 4WD enthusiasts, parents wishing to monitor the safety of younger drivers or commercial fleet managers who seek to keep track of employees and protect against fraudulent insurance claims made to the company.
Packed full of state-of-the-art features, Uniden iGO Cam utilises a HD Camera for high quality recording. Motion Detection enables the camera to collect evidence even when the car is parked and without the driver present – with the camera instantly capturing footage if the car is bumped or scraped. With the help of a built-in G-sensor and the device’s Collision Detection Mode, the camera can also detect a change in motion which will instantly trigger recording. In the event of an accident, this gives drivers the ability to analyse the direction of impact and view how it happened.
The iGO Cam 300 has a single HD camera, featuring Infrared Night Vision to record quality footage even when in poor light. The iGO CAM 800 is equipped with dual cameras, so drivers can record what is going on in the front and back of the vehicle, ensuring all potential areas of the car are monitored.
“If you have an accident you might have to pay a hefty excess on your insurance premiums and you may lose your no-claim bonus - this can add up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars,” said Brad Hales, Senior National Marketing Executive, Uniden Australia.
“In the shock of an accident is it often difficult to remember every detail in order to complete an insurance claim or police report. Capturing live road events, Uniden’s iGO Cams have can protect drivers from becoming a victim of fraudulent claims or assist in crash disputes – or for instances when your car is damaged in a parking lot. In-car cameras have also been known to help dispute unfair traffic infringements.”
A plug-and-play device, the Uniden iGO Cam is easy to install, configure and operate. Its portable and wireless design enables the camera to be transferred between vehicles as required. An 8GB Micro SD Card is included as a bonus with the iGO Cam 800, and users can purchase larger capacity Micro SD cards for longer recording.
