Network Connections has been in business since the beginning of 2005 located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex in Plano, Texas. 75025
I can be contacted through the support page and will call you or give you my cell phone if you need to speak with me. I understand it is important that you know a little of who you are dealing with.
The primary business is PC/Mac Service and Networking.
We also install Surveillance Systems for Residential and Small Business.
In the later part of 2002 my wife was forced into a curb by another driver and never stopped.
So we had to pay the deductibles on the insurance as well as car rental rather than the uninsured motorists provision paying these cost.
This was due to the fact we had no proof there was another vehicle involved.
That was when I realized that with today’s technology it should be feasible to have a dash cam in every car for minimal expense.
Making one proved harder than I had realized. So I put the idea on the back burner after months of research and testing.
After many years, I discovered that other companies had seen the possibilities and there were actually some units available from various manufacturers.
After testing many different models and configurations I selected the VC-100 as my first product to market.
The units Police use start at $3500 to over $4000. But they have monitors on them and hard drives that are only accessible by shift commanders.
I wanted something easy to install like a radar detector or GPS but still provides a quality video with time and date stamp.It had to start recording as soon as you power on the ignition and loop over the oldest file so there was always an ongoing driving history.
This product met my expectation. It is Linux based for stability and reliability like a TIVO or other TV DVR’s.It has never failed to record in all the testing I have done and I still use one in both my car and my wife’s.
It provides a safe feeling knowing that your dash cam is on the job recording while you drive throughout the day or night.
In my opinion, we should all have a dash cam in our car as we drive on a day to day basis. The evidence of crime we could provide, proof of liability in a fatal crash, or personal injury lawsuit evidence is unlimited.
Road rage on the road could be captured inadvertently. Just because you happened to be in the area and can download your video and search it.
You have live video of an accident that happened in front of you. I am sure an insurance company would pay for that if it proved their insured was not liable.
TV or other media may pay for exclusive video of an event captured on your cam. The possibilities go and on.
Not to mention checking the video to see where the kids went when they borrowed your car.
You can use it on your job to protect yourself against false accusations by others about your driving habits if you drive a company truck.
Perhaps you are law enforcement and want to provide your own dash cam while on duty because the department does not have them in all cars.
Once you have had the dash cam installed, you might forget that it is always recording and there if you need it.But it will be there if and when you need the video.
Network Connections is doing its best to make a unit that is dependable and affordable so one day each and every car on the road will have a dash cam in it.
I would anticipate that in the near future car manufacturers may offer it as an option.
The technology is easy and the implications far reaching.
It is peace of mind for that time when you wish you had a recording.
