Monitor your vehicle against vandalism with a Dash Cam
Imagine parking your car, bike, or camper outside your home, going to sleep peacefully, and then waking up to find a scratch on the side, a broken mirror, or even worse, a dent. Who did it? How did it happen? And most importantly, how can you prove it?
Unfortunately, acts of vandalism and damage to vehicles are becoming more and more common, and often those who suffer the damage have no way to claim compensation. This is why more and more vehicle owners are choosing to protect their vehicles with a dash cam. These small but powerful devices act as silent witnesses, ready to record everything that happens around your vehicle, even when you are far away. Whether it’s city parking, a rest stop on the highway, or your home driveway, having a monitoring system can make the difference between having a damaged vehicle or having the proof to claim your rights.
But not all dash cams are the same. Which one should you choose?
We explain everything in this article!
How does a Dash Cam work?
Let's start with the basics: many people confuse dash cams with parking assist cameras. In reality, these are two completely different tools. Dash cams are compact cameras that allow you to record photos and videos while driving or when parking and leaving your vehicle unattended. Dash cams usually record videos in a loop, automatically deleting older ones to free up memory. Thanks to the special G-sensor, they also protect videos of incidents automatically.
There isn't just one type of dash cam; there are different models with more or less advanced features.
At Midland, we understand the specific needs of every traveler, which is why our range of dash cams is complete:
Car
Motorcycle
Camper
Truck
No matter your vehicle, with Midland dash cams, you can rest easy!
The only 2 Dash Cams with Parking Mode: Protect your vehicle from vandalism!
We’ve already explained why every driver should have a dash cam installed in their vehicle in this article. It’s crucial not only for recording acts of vandalism but also for recording potential accidents and having a reliable witness.
At Midland, we know the needs of those who live on the road daily, which is why we’ve developed 2 ultra-light dash cam models that install easily in any car and don’t obstruct your view while driving. The Street Guardian One and Mini are the perfect travel companions, weighing less than 70 grams. They record Full HD video with a wide-angle lens and feature a G-sensor that automatically detects impacts and secures videos related to the accident so they cannot be deleted.
The Street Guardian One also has a 2-inch LCD display and installs easily with adhesive tape and a mounting bracket. The Street Guardian Mini is even more compact, has built-in GPS, and comes with Wi-Fi, so you can monitor videos and photos via your smartphone (and the Dashcam Player app).
If you want to monitor not only what’s happening in front of you but also behind and inside the vehicle, you can add the optional camera to the Street Guardian One, giving you a 360° view of the car.
Dash Cam for Trucks
Let’s start with large vehicles: trucks need video surveillance. It’s not just about damage to the vehicle but also to what it’s transporting.
The Guardian Truck Pro Kit serves two functions:
Reverse maneuver assistance
Trailer surveillance while traveling
It’s a complete kit that includes:
A 7” wireless monitor with 1080p resolution
A small, compact, easy-to-install wireless camera with infrared LEDs for night vision
2 wireless antennas (one for the monitor, one for the camera).
Truck Guardian Pro is dust and water-resistant with an IP69K rating, making it ideal for all travel conditions.
If one camera isn’t enough, no problem: you can buy an additional Truck Camera Pro camera, giving you more viewing angles.
If you prefer the wired version of Truck Guardian Pro, you can opt for the Truck Guardian Wired. It can install up to 3 cameras and has a wiring length of up to 20 meters. It’s the perfect balance between quality and price!
Reverse Camera for Campers
Are you a camper? Then this camera is for you: the Midland Wireless RV Cam installs in just a few minutes with the suction mount for the monitor and the magnetic base for the camera.
This camera eliminates most of the blind spots and provides a wider and safer view when reversing. The monitor connects to the cigarette lighter socket with automatic on/off. The camera has a 120° viewing angle and is waterproof (IP67).
If you're looking for a dash cam to constantly monitor your camper while traveling, you can opt for Truck Guardian Pro or Truck Guardian Wired, our kits for large vehicles!
Dash Cam for Motorcycles
And for those who ride motorcycles? There’s the Bike Guardian Pro. Bike Guardian Pro records up to 2K resolution with the Sony sensor that makes images incredibly sharp.
Bike Guardian Pro has a 170° viewing angle, image stabilization, and background noise reduction in the microphone. It also has Wi-Fi, allowing you to control videos remotely via your smartphone.
It’s waterproof, so you can take it on any journey, from short trips to the longest and most memorable ones.
Dash cams are small and compact but are crucial for protecting you in case of unforeseen events: vandalism, accidents, traffic disputes, reckless maneuvers. If you live on the road every day, whatever your vehicle, with Midland you can be sure to find the perfect dash cam for your next trips!
