With road rage and bad driving seemingly becoming the norm on today's roads, the perfect gift for Father's Day is a DriveSense dash cam.
Dash cams " or car dashboard cameras " are increasingly being used in vehicles to insure drivers against adverse outcomes on roads and in car parks.
Dad's love their cars so if they are involved in a crash and they weren't at fault, dash cam footage can be provided to the insurance company to prove it. Even if his car is hit in a car park, whether he was there or not, the dash cam can record the event.
Using a dash cam is like having an extra insurance policy and can protect the affected driver's finances. It's also a big time-saver as the evidence allows the insurance company to chase the other car's owner for compensation.
DriveSense Ranger dash cams produce crisp clear video recordings, and audio if desired, including other information such as location, date, time and speed.
Leading Australian safety products company, Andatech, has introduced new DriveSense Ranger dash cams that use the latest generation technology and provide exceptional camera quality.
G-sensor detects vibrations
Ensuring the video footage is protected when needed is crucial, which is assisted by the gravity sensor (G-sensor) in the device. DriveSense dash cams have a built-in G-sensor that uses indicators such as vibrations and sudden jolting motions to alert the user to protect the recorded file so it cannot be deleted or overwritten. The G-sensor sensitivity can be set to low, medium, high or switched off completely.
A film file can also be manually selected to lock or protect, which is then saved in a separate folder in the microSD card and cannot be deleted.
Andatech's two dash cam models comprise the DriveSense Ranger Dash Cam with WiFi and GPS ($249) and the DriveSense Ranger Duo Dash Cam ($299), which has both a front and rear dash cam with GPS.

Features of the DriveSense Ranger dash cams include:
* Recording in high resolution super HD 1080p at 30 frames per second to ensure it will pick up details such as licence plate numbers.
