If you’ve ever sat in your parked car watching dashcam footage like it’s a mini drama series—or proudly shown a friend that one perfect clip where the clouds rolled in just right—congratulations: you’re officially one of us.

Once you install a dashcam, you’re not just a driver anymore. You’re a daily documentarian. And depending on how (and why) you use that little camera on your windshield, you might fall into a very specific dashcam personality.

The Safety Hawk

You’re not messing around. For you, the dashcam is less of a gadget and more of a full-time witness. You’ve turned on every alert, checked every setting, and yes—parking mode is always active, even when you’re just running into a shop for five minutes.

You know exactly where to find footage from three Tuesdays ago when someone “barely” nudged your bumper. You’ve watched more parked car time-lapses than actual TV. And if anyone asks you why you record everything, your answer is simple: “Have you seen how people drive lately?”

You might not say much on the road—but your dashcam footage is basically a full legal team.

The Scenic Soul

You got the dashcam for practical reasons… but somewhere along the way, it became your co-pilot for beauty. You’ve saved clips of sunsets, foggy forest drives, and rainy windows with sad music playing in the background.

You’re the kind of person who replays drives not to check for accidents, but to relive the moment the light hit the hills just right. You might not even delete clips unless your storage runs out—who knows when you’ll want to look back on that one peaceful drive through the countryside?

Your camera sees the road, but you see the poetry.

The Pet Chauffeur

Your dashcam wasn’t installed for you—it was installed for your backseat buddy. You’ve got clips of your dog hanging its head out the window, ears flapping like a hero in a movie. Or maybe your cat, giving you the death stare from its carrier after being tricked into another vet trip.
