Having a Dash Cam (Some call them Drive Cams) is becoming more of a necessity these days. From capturing exciting, unexpected road incidents on camera to having evidence in a ‘he said, she said’ accident report, to being able to monitor a new driver; A dash cam is not only a smart investment, it’s a necessity, especially in St. Louis and the Belleville Area.
We’ve all seen the videos online, the ones where a car collision is caught on dash camera. It’s exciting, scary, and entertaining. But most importantly, it’s documented. Insurance fraud is at an all time high, and these handy cams become your best friend when you have someone claiming you’re at fault when you’re really not. At the moment it doesn’t appear that having a dash cam installed in your vehicle will provide an insurance discount but it can most definitely stop your premium from increasing by proving you’re not at fault after an accident. Dash cams can also be rear facing, providing evidence if you get hit from behind as well. It’s like having a witness with you at all times.
They are perfect for commercial fleets to make sure drivers are driving safely and performing routes as designed. To keep efficiency of the business in the peak order.

How they work is they have at least one forward facing camera that mounts to the windshield. Most of our systems come with a rear facing camera as well as an option for a third camera. The cameras are connected to the DVR. The digital video recorder is what records the video that the cameras see. The video footage is securely recorded on a SD Card. These SD Cards can be removed and viewed on a computer screen for evidence or footage. After the SD card has recorded its capacity the DVR then starts recording over the oldest data on the SD card. So the larger the SD card the larger the recording database. We have systems that can upload the footage wirelessly to the Cloud. Which ensures important footage never gets overwritten. Most drive cams we offer have the ability to use GPS tracking to determine speed, location, and time stamps.
All drive cam systems at Xclusive Auto and Sound are professionally installed with all wiring hidden from view and hardwired to a power source. Installed in a way as if they were installed by the OEM, Original Equipment manufacturer.
Another lesser known feature of the dash cams are that they can record 24/7. While you’re parked at work, at home, anywhere, the cams will continue recording and monitoring activity around your vehicle. Most cams are accompanied with apps for phone or desktop viewing in addition to being able to view in real time.

For those with a larger budget, headrest monitors with dual DVD players can be a good choice. Dual players give passengers the ability to play different DVDs in each headrest, or play one DVD on both screens. Passengers also have the ability to listen to the DVD audio through the vehicle radio or via wireless IR headphones. Screen sizes for headrest monitors vary from 7-10”. Because headrest monitors are viewed just two feet from the eyes, pixel pitch and resolution tend to be more important than size. As such, the 7” size is recommended. The smaller size also tends to blend better with the aesthetics of most vehicles. During installation, we will color match the headrest to the interior of the vehicle, paying special attention to the exact stitching, grain and piping of the OEM seat.
Those in search of a more economical rear seat entertainment option may want to consider overhead (flip down) monitors. These are also a great option for individuals with vehicles that feature multiple rows of seating. At Xclusive Autosound, we carry only the highest-quality overhead monitors that are designed to stand up to the normal wear and tear associated with opening and closing. The most commonly purchased sizes for overhead monitors is 10.4” to 12,” but models up to 24” are available. As with headrest monitors, passengers have the ability to listen to the DVD audio through the vehicle radio or via wireless IR headphones. During installation, we restructure your headliner to make sure the screen has a solid surface to mount to, rather than screwing the screen into the headliner. This is very important, as proper installation ensures that the monitor won’t become disconnected from the headliner.
