If you’re driving, you need a dash cam -- and we’ve got a few ideas at up to 83% off

On the surface, dash cams can feel like selfie culture run amok. And yes, having an unblinking 24/7/365 eye on your dashboard at all times can ensure you’re ready to capture any silly or incredible moment in your car for all time. But of course, the true reason to have a dash cam is for those less enjoyable moments: accidents, disputes or other situations where dash-cam footage can help make sure you’ve always got facts on your side.

Thankfully, the price of a quality HD-capable dash cam have come down far enough to make them a nearly indispensable car accessory, no matter why you’re picking one up.

Right now, check out deals of three of our best dash cam models around, all available now with discounts of up to 83 percent off.
