Dashcam

The Front And Rear Dashboard Camera


I like to consider myself a responsible – defensive driver. I have 30+ years of driving under my belt without a single accident caused by my own self neglect or carelessness. Just last month though I was the victim of an accident involving another driver. The driver rear-ended me. Thankfully, aside from my wife having some whip lash, none of us were seriously injured.  I knew right then it was time to invest in a dash cam. Of course my Google search for dash cams came up with 1,000’s of options and products to choose from. My wife found the “Front And Rear Dashboard Camera” via Hammer Schlemer. The fact that this dash camera came equipped with two cameras in one is a huge selling point for me!

The front and rear dashboard camera is a recorder that captures a commute from either direction using a pair of high-definition cameras in 1080p video. It’s very easy to install by attaching one camera on the front windshield while a second camera fixes to the back window and captures what follows. It’s very similar to what is used in the vehicles of emergency responders, for example police cruisers. Even most ambulances are now equipped with dash cams.

  1. I enjoyed reading your review. I especially liked the portability of the dash cam and that you can easily move it from car to car. I recently got a new Roav dash cam, made by Anker and that one also records while the car is parked when it senses motion or impact. Does the The front and Rear Dashboard Camera have an app?

  2. I would love to have one of these for my car. I don’t have a lot on my wish list this year but this is one.
