Is it a good idea to get a truck dash cam videos?

In recent years,
truck accidents have occurred frequently. Heavy vehicles, including earthmoving
trucks, container trucks, mixer trucks and other large freight motor vehicles,
have become “big trouble car” and caused widespread concern. So how
dangerous is the “big trouble car”? Let’s look at some data.

According to the data released, between 2008 and 2012, commercial
trucks that accounts 7.8% of China’s motor vehicle market, were caused 27.7% of
fatal traffic accidents.

The characteristics of large trucks in terms of material, structure, and dynamic performance determine that they are indeed prone to accidents. It is made of high-strength steel, the bodyweight is relatively large, plus the load, the total weight is often more than ten, or even dozens of tons. Due to its large mass and high inertia, large trucks are often difficult to brake and are prone to brake failure. In addition, the large truck body is wider, the turning radius is large, and the center of gravity is high. When turning, problems such as scratching and rollover are prone to occur.

Besides weight and volume are
relatively large, trucks have a fatal weakness that is the driver has visual
blind spots, and technically speaking, the accidents caused by blind spots can
be improved through human efforts.

The blind spot of vision can be
improved by human means, that is, to install a truck dash cam. The driving
recorder, as an instrument for recording related information such as images and
sounds on the road, can conveniently help large trucks to eliminate blind
spots.

Where do you mount a dash cam?

A dash cam with HD
video resolution, front and rear dual recording, G-sensor, panic button and
other functions is very valuable for the safety of large trucks and reduce
accidents. Jimi dash cam for trucks, both practical and easy to install
(specially equipped with large truck extension cable), is the first choice for
large truck drivers.

The closer the front
camera is mounted to the interior rearview mirror, the better. The centered
shooting angle is greater, and the installation near the inner rearview mirror
has the least effect on the front view. So the suggested way is to install the front
camera between the inner rearview mirror and the front windshield, which is the
most central position.

The rear camera is
mounted directly to the rear of the truck, and the cable is fixed afterward. It
can be installed inside or outside the car as needed, and the shooting effect
will be better if installed outside while it avoids damage and loss if
installed inside.
