No matter how great of a driver you think you are, accidents can still happen. And if and when they do, an indisputable extra set of eyes definitely doesn’t hurt.

Since you don’t have an extra set of eyes stored away in your glove box, dash cameras are your best option for a witness to the madness. 

If you don’t already have one, there’s no time like the present to invest in a little extra road insurance. Because let’s be honest: people are nuts.

Right now, you can snag one of these innovative dash cams on sale for up to 80% off.

A typical rearview mirror isn’t always an effective way to see your surroundings. Heck, even built-in back-up cameras don’t give you the most accurate view — especially in the rain or the dark. This 3-in-1 Infiniview Lite Digital Rear View Mirror and Dash Cam combo basically transform your rearview into a 170° wide-angle lens that captures everything on the road in the rain or fog. Not only will you have a totally unobstructed view of the road, but you’ll also be able to record it all.

Originally $279.99, you can add the Infiniview Lite to your car for $249.99.

With a generous 170-degree field of view, crisp 1080p HD resolution, and a built-in G-sensor to instantly save files during collisions, the JS Dash S is the perfect sidekick for highway safety. Its six-glass lens records crystal clear video whether it’s bright and sunny or dark and overcast. Plus, you can access and control everything from your phone.

Usually, the JS Dash S Dash Cam costs $225, but you can save 55% and get one here for $99.99.

This 1080p HD DVR Dash Cam is the perfect level of minimalism. It’ll capture clear, high-definition video day or night, features a 110-degree recording angle, and begins recording as soon as you start your car.

The best part is you can pick up this dashcam for just $24.99 — 28% off retail price.

Like the others, the GoSafe 228 records video in high definition from a wide 120-degree angle as soon as you start your car. And if it senses impact, it’ll automatically save and lock those files. Oh, and you can immediately view the videos on its built-in 1.8-inch LCD screen. 

Originally, the GoSafe 228 would cost you $99, but you can get one here for just $59.99.

Want to step up your dash cam game even further? The GoSafe S780 features elite technology, like a Sony Starvis sensor and a dual-camera system. That means it can capture remarkably clear footage from in front and behind your vehicle simultaneously, even in low light conditions.

Usually $299.99, you can get the GoSafe S780 for just $199.99.

Sometimes there’s drama behind the wheel before you even get on the road. The Papago GoSafe 366 records in HD even when your car is parked, and automatically saves files in case of a collision. You’ll get practically every detail possible, thanks to an ultra-wide-angle lens and front and rear views. Plus, you can view the footage on your smartphone quickly and easily.

The Papago GoSafe 366 Dash Cam is now $249.99, 16% off the MSRP.

The OwlScout doesn’t just capture what’s going on around you on the road, but it also records what’s going on inside your vehicle. In the event of a crash, you can use the footage to prove you were paying attention. Both cameras record in crystal-clear 1080p, even in the dark, thanks to built-in night vision. You can even access your footage immediately on your phone via Wi-Fi.

Save $30 on the OwlScout Dash Cam and get it for just $169.

Step up your safety features with the GoSafe S37. Not only is it a dash cam that records stunning video day or night, but it also offers a wide range of driver assistance features as well, like a front collision warning system and stop sign recognition. 

Originally $169.99, you can save 41% on the GoSafe S37 and get it for just $99.99. 

If you’re looking for simplicity and affordability, then the GEKO 1080p Dash Cam is what you need. While it’s small, discreet, and minimalistic, it still offers all the same features you’d expect in a quality dash cam — like the ability to capture HD footage, day or night, and automatic recording upon impact.

The best part is it’s just $49.99 right now — half off the original price.

At a little over three inches wide, the Black Box Dash Cam is small enough to place directly on your windshield without obstructing your line of vision. Its built-in G sensor recognizes impact and automatically records the scene so you can prove your side of the story.

Typically retailing for $149.95, you can slash 80% off the Black Box Dash Cam and get it for just $29.99.
