A dash cam in a car is a necessity, because in case of an accident, a conflict situation, or an attempt at fraud, it can help reproduce events and confirm how everything actually happened.
For basic protection, a driver does not need to buy expensive equipment, since affordable models cost up to 2 thousand hryvnias, MapOn writes.
The dashcam recording helps avoid disputes and is an important piece of evidence for the insurance company. The material considers why a car camera might be useful for drivers and which models to pay attention to.
You can find a dash cam on Prom. In general, the marketplace features more than 120 million products, including a variety of automotive goods: motor oils, batteries, auto chemistry, and quality tires. If it is important for you to check the dash cam and make sure it suits you, the Prom Pay feature is suitable for this. Funds will be transferred to the seller's account only after receiving the order.
What is the benefit of automotive cameras?
After a collision, participants may interpret the situation differently, and sometimes someone intentionally tries to shift responsibility onto another driver.
A dash cam can record events directly before and after the collision. This allows you to see how the cars were moving, who performed a maneuver, and under what circumstances the accident occurred.
If disputes arise after an accident, the video recording can simplify establishing the circumstances. You can simply provide the recording that shows the road situation.
The camera can also capture a sudden cut in, violations of traffic rules by other drivers, a pedestrian suddenly entering the road, or a dangerous maneuver by a cyclist.

For drivers who spend a lot of time behind the wheel, this is an additional layer of protection. This is especially relevant for company cars and transport used throughout the workday.
Sometimes the camera itself becomes a deterrent factor, which makes the driver perform maneuvers more carefully and obey the rules.
Among the best dash cams at an affordable price on Prom you can find:
70mai M310 Pro (Plus) 2K Wi-Fi – recording 1440p, angle 143, WDR, night shooting, parking mode (1999 hryvnias).
Full HD 1080P, two cameras 170 – front and rear camera, wide viewing angle. A good option for those who consider it important to have two cameras (1600 hryvnias).
DVR V13, 2 cameras, 1080p – the most affordable of the three, has night mode and rear camera (1459 hryvnias).
For everyday use, drivers do not necessarily need to buy a professional surveillance system. Basic dash cams can record the road in sufficient quality to analyze accidents, and some models are additionally equipped with night recording, loop recording, and impact sensors.
The cost of such devices can be relatively low, so a camera up to 2 thousand hryvnias is an affordable way to add another layer of protection to a car and have video evidence on hand in case of an unforeseeable situation.
When choosing, pay attention not only to price but also to recording quality, viewing angle, and performance in low light. It is these characteristics that most influence the practicality of the device in real road conditions.
