Car security used to only refer to locks, and alarm systems but many more developments have been made over time. You can record your entire car journey, to protect you against fraudulent car insurance claims. This can then be used as evidence to show you were driving safely while it can also help catch the number plate of a vehicle that hit you and drove off.

These systems usually overwrite any data when they’re switched on but they do use up a significant amount of power through the cigarette lighter. Some systems will also record date, time and speed while they’re wide angle so they can capture the majority of the road.

These can be placed in the front or the back of the car and they are a sign of technology improving in terms of car security. If you want to protect yourself against deceitful car insurance claims, then consider opting for a journey recorder.
