Car safety solutions provider Safe Cams Digital Eye has introduced ‘Y Series Dash Cams,’ primarily for offline selling in Tier-1 markets across India. The ‘Y Series’ consists of two cutting-edge variants - a single-camera dashcam (Y2) and dual-camera dashcam (Y3S) and come with a free-of-cost hardwire kit and an SD card as standard. Tested to suit Indian road conditions, both these variants have 1080P resolution, 170° ultra-wide angle, Sony Low-Light Sensor, P2P Wi-Fi and 3Axis G-Sensor, among other advance hi-tech features.
According to the Pune-headquartered company, the Y2 and Y3S dash cams have been developed with the sole intent to help private car owners and individual car drivers of India to prevent or minimise the chances of road accidents and/or mishaps on the road. Safe Cams will be mainly targeting to sell its Y Series’ dash cameras through the offline mode, i.e. through car accessory stores in Pune and other India's cities. The company provides hands-on training to the car accessory shops/outlets to ensure the point-of-purchase installation of the dash cameras that the customers buy.
Vanesh Naidoo, Founder & Director, Safe Cams Digital Eye said, “In the Indian market, we have off late seen an increased demand for dash cams that have hardwire kits rather than a cigarette lighter-type charger. A hardwire kit consists of a power cable that enables the dash camera to obtain power directly from the fuse box of a vehicle; it is a superior and more convenient way of connecting the dash camera to your car. Keeping this in mind, we have designed our Y series dash cameras, which we intend to sell mainly through the offline market, as no other brand in India is currently selling such a solution offline via retail car accessory stores.”
The hardware kit that comes with Y Series’ dash cams allows for the use of ‘Parking Guard’ mode that records any disturbances even when the vehicle is left parked and unattended. There are two main functionalities of Parking Guard. To record time lapsed video every 2-3 seconds in one frame, which can be stitched together later to form a video so that one can see what happed around the vehicle while it was parked. Motion-based camera activation: the dash camera has a built in accelerometer, so if anything moved the vehicle (like another car hitting it) while it was parked, the camera will switch on and record the incident.
