Citroen Approved Dashcams

Protect from insurance fraud and road rage with our range of Citroen approved front and rear dashboard cameras.

What is a Dashcam?

A Citroen approved Dashcam discreetly records high-quality video and audio files. Positioned in the front windscreen it records everything that it sees. Dashcam’s popularity has exploded recently, fast making it a vital piece of technology. For instance, five years ago dashcams were used by only 1% of all drivers. In 2017 that increased to 15% and an estimated 30% plan to buy one soon.

How does it work?

This dashcam records video files to a removable memory card. As a result, files are easier to review later with the memory card able to store around 3 hours of footage. The files are stored in the memory card and once it is full the camera overwrites the oldest file first. This means it can keep the most recent footage without filling storage. When the vehicle is running, the Dashcam is powered by a permanent connection to the vehicle 12v supply. 

How do I view the footage?

There are three ways to view the footage. Connect the Dashcam to a computer using a cable. Remove the memory card from the Dashcam and plug it into a computer with a memory card reader. Download the free NextBase CamViewer app from Google Play or the App Store for smartphones and tablets. The app allows you to view and record live images from the Dashcam as well as watch and download recorded videos.

Aren’t they illegal?

No, not when the Dashcam is mounted where it is not in the driver’s line of sight and is not used to intrude on someone’s privacy. Dashcam footage is often used by Police and insurance companies in the course of the investigation.

Why do I need a rear camera?

Due to the unpredictable nature of incidents when on the road, the rear-facing camera provides additional insight. All information in the event of an accident is invaluable and the more you can provide the more you can help the authorities.

What benefits do I get?

  • Insurance Purposes
    A Citroen approved Dashcam is your independent witness to prove you are not at fault. For instance, this could mean the difference between keeping your no-claims bonus or paying excesses and higher premiums. A number of motoring groups have research indicating reduced insurance premiums for dashcam owners. However, this does depend on the policy of the insurance provider
  • Road Safety
    Research shows that fitting a Dashcam can make people more conscientious drivers. This reduces the chance of being involved in an accident. Also, if you advertise that the car is equipped with video recording it can deter aggressive behaviour from other drivers.
