Do you need a dash camera? They’re quite common outside of the United States (especially in Russia). These small digital video cameras attach to your windshield or dashboard and continually record video as you drive. Their main purpose is to provide evidence in case of an accident,

The PAPAGO! P3 Dashcam is the company’s top-of-the-line dashboard camera unit, with many extra features beyond just recording what it sees out the windshield. Its Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) includes Stop and Go, LDWS (Lane Departure Warning System)  and FCWS (Front Collision Warning System), as well as a number of other capabilities.

Unlike many other Dashcams, the P3 comes equipped with a screen, which can display either the real-time video as it’s being recorded, as well as the time, date, a simple GPS map, and the menu system for viewing and setting the camera’s various options.
