Virtually very driver who pulls up to a 12volt retailer is a potential customer for a dash cam. I hear stories frequently about people who had a dash cam video to document an accident to show the accident was not their fault. Also the dash cam category does not take a large inventory investment. That’s a real win/win/win for all with sales and installation profit” Mark Giovannetti related.”
