  2. Dash cam sales have been rising at an exponential rate for the past few years, as an increasing number of safety-conscious drivers in Pennsylvania are looking to equip their vehicles with a device that can potentially reduce car accidents. But why would drivers want to document their experiences on the road and capture it on video, let alone have an audio recording of what goes on inside the vehicle? The Pittsburgh car accident attorney at Shenderovich, Shenderovich & Fishman explains that the use of dashboard cameras inside vehicles can encourage drivers to drive safely and avoid accidents.

  3. Besides, Pennsylvania law permits drivers to install dash cameras in their private cars but only as long as they comply with certain restrictions. In particular, Pennsylvania law is very strict about the proper placement of the dash cam in a vehicle.

  4. Placement Of A Dashboard Camera Under Pennsylvania law, dashboard cameras must be installed outside the range of airbag deployment in: 1. The lower right corner of the windshield in an area that does not exceed 7 square inches; 2. The lower left corner of the windshield in an area that does not exceed 5 square inches; or 3. The upper center portion of the windshield in an area that does not exceed 5 square inches.

  5. Capabilities Of Dash Cameras Capabilities of dash cameras are also regulated by Pennsylvania law. In particular, Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, which refers to dashboard cams as “video event recorders,” permits the recording of audio and video information. In addition to that, the device can also record your driving speed, seat belt usage, as well as patterns of the steering and braking systems. Many dash cams allow the driver to choose how and when the recording function must be triggered. Some choose the crash or unusual motion as the trigger of the camera’s recording function, while others choose to keep recording throughout their trip to monitor their driving performance and be able to record everything.

  6. “Under Pennsylvania law, dash cameras must be able to record and save audio data in addition to visual recordings,” says their experienced car accident attorney in Pittsburgh. For this reason, many drivers are reluctant to install dash cams because the requirement to record audio data raises privacy concerns. Under Pennsylvania law, which prohibits making an audio recording unless both parties are aware of the recording, requires you to post a notice in a visible place to warn your Audio Recording And Audio Recording And Privacy Privacy passengers that the conversation is being recorded by the Concerns Concerns dashboard cam.
