dashcams
Windshield video recorders
Dashcams are cameras mounted on a vehicle's dashboard or windshield that continuously record the view through the front windscreen, and sometimes the rear or interior.
They provide video evidence in case of accidents, insurance disputes, or encounters with police.
Originally popular in Russia due to insurance fraud concerns, they've spread worldwide: The dashcam footage showed the other driver ran the red light.
