We though we'd try out something new today- we've been receiving plenty of questions related to security, but not just security cameras- but a whole new slew of security related questions related to homes and cars.
So as usual, we've compiled all your questions into one blog entry. Read on to learn more on how you can keep your home and your car secure!
Absolutely. Dash cams aren’t just useful for when you get into a car crash; they’re useful for so many different reasons. Here are some of what we know:
If you’re not afraid, you should very well be- make sure to go through some of these steps especially if you have some IoT (Internet of Things) related gadgets that you’d like to secure:
In public, it’s definitely open for discussion. But one could argue that if you’re in public, then you’re not in any stance to demand privacy; facial recognition, on the other hand, requires that your face be saved into a database and kept for future records.
It’s definitely a conundrum- on one hand it can help keep places safer and free from trouble. On the other hand, it might be a breach of privacy and consent.
However, if indoors, the discussion becomes a little easier. Whoever owns private property has the right to keep their property under surveillance to protect it- for whatever reason the owner deems, they can have facial recognition hardware/software to keep track of who enters their property and to help keep it safe.
Should a crime or an incident happen, the property owner will have proper reference to help law enforcement enact justice.
However, it still depends on the laws of the country you’re residing in, and whether or not the law allows for it. But for most countries, people are allowed to do surveillance on their property, even allowing for facial recognition.
Couple of things that you should do immediately as soon as possible:

Yes, they can! A popular example of this technology is when its incorporated with dual dash cams that have motion detection technology; the moment it picks up on any motion near it, it starts recording and shows whoever comes near a set proximity to the vehicle.
Of course, this means that you’ll have to set the dash camera to a different power source; if its just plugged up to the cigarette charger socket, then it won’t really power up when someone comes near.
You’ll need to hardwire the dash cam into the car battery, or any perpetually running power slot located in the car’s dashboard- you’ll just need a little bit of wire and wiring know-how.
If you’d like to learn how to hardwire your dash cam, here’s a quick guide from us here at Elinz.
