And just like that, Christmas is another year away! The kids are happy, multiple trips to the mall are a thing of the past, and I can finally put my feet up and binge watch Ray Donovan, haha!
Life is great.
Over the past few weeks, I've been testing out my new Thinkware F100 dash cam from BlackboxMyCar. To be completely honest, I never thought I would be writing a post about a dash cam and initially struggled with how I would engage my readers about a car accessory that wasn't on the top of my Christmas list. That thought quickly passed, as it become completely clear why I would need a dash cam in the first place - my kids!
As with any parent, my kids' safety is my number one priority and something that I would never compromise. I don't know about you, but I've noticed over the years that other drivers seem to be taking risks and not paying attention like they used to. I often wonder if the main factor of that is distracted driving and the need to be connected at all times via our smartphones and electronics. The one thing that has really left me speechless lately is that people seem to be confused about what to do when an emergency vehicle is trying to pass! All of these factors combined with the fact that my oldest child will be driving in about eight years (OMG!) is causing slight anxiety, but I feel that having a dash cam or equivalent would put my mind at ease when the time does come.
The fact that I now have added security with my Thinkware F100 dash cam gives me piece of mind that if anything should happen, I would have the evidence needed to prove my case. It also enters parking mode when I'm away from my car and continues to film any incidents, such as potential break-ins or hit and runs, making my source of transportation safe and secure.
About Thinkware F100
The new Thinkware F100 is one of the most affordable Full HD/HD dual-channel dash cam systems on the market. It features Full HD 1080P video recording with a 135 degree wide angle glass elements lens and a Sony Exmore CMOS Sensor, as well as option GPS, built-in parking mode and G-sensor, expandable memory size and loop recording.
My favourite feature? Piece of mind that my vehicle and family are safe, plus the convenience of loop recording. This means that I don't have to buy a bigger memory card and I can save any incidents in a separate folder with a touch of a button before uploading videos to my computer.
