Vehicle cameras are increasingly finding adoption in a wide range of vehicles. Touted as an investment on the scale of indoor camera systems for residential buildings, vehicle cameras allow for simultaneous front as well as rear recording. The footage can be used for plain fun, such as sharing videos of beautiful scenery or a farcical incident, or for monitoring the actions and driving skills of teenagers in your family or of your employees. However, the most pragmatic use of video cameras is for capturing evidence in cases of accidents for claiming innocence or insurance money. With vehicle cameras, one has solid proof regarding an accident rather than mere verbal testimony, making for a solid case and increased chances of correct judgment.
The global market for vehicle cameras had a valuation of US$595.3 million in 2013, according to a research report published by U.S.-based market research company Transparency Market Research. The report states that the global market for vehicle cameras will reach a valuation of US$1,259.2 million by 2020, growing at an 11.3% CAGR between 2014 and 2020.
