With millions of motorists still driving without independent video evidence, National Dash Cam Day on 5 August serves as a timely reminder of how in-car cameras can protect drivers in the event of a collision, insurance dispute or unexpected incident. Research from Aviva shows that only 27% of UK motorists currently use a dash cam, despite 72% believing every vehicle should have one fitted and more than a third (36%) saying the technology makes them feel safer behind the wheel. While this adoption rate is slightly lower in the US, drivers share a very similar sentiment regarding safety and peace of mind
To support National Dash Cam Day and encourage more drivers to consider the benefits of reliable road evidence, three leading dash cam manufacturers — MIOFIVE, Ottocast and GKU — are showcasing their latest recording technology, ranging from compact everyday cameras to advanced dual-channel 4K systems with intelligent parking protection and connected features. While some brands are offering exclusive one-day deals, others are preparing promotional activity to help make dash cam adoption more accessible for motorists.
Below is a selection of featured models available this Dash Cam Day, led by MIOFIVE’s award-winning range.
