May is a special month for us - it is our anniversary month and this year, we are celebrating 8 years of outstanding road safety!
Cheers to road safety and the safety of all our loved ones!
Healthcare workers, transit drivers, food delivery, grocery store staff, sanitation workers, and letter carriers are among those being hailed as heroes for continuing to provide essential services amid the COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot thank them enough for their dedication and hard work and that is why we are dedicating our 8th Year Anniversary to them.
We have partnered with Thinkware North America to send 50 dash cams (complete with a genuine Thinkware microSD card and hardwiring kit) to 50 healthcare and frontline heroes across Canada and the US.

Being a mom is a full-time job and while most of us wouldn’t have it any other way, a little “me time” would be nice every once in a while.
Noticed how none of these moms dream about how they would take the car out and drive? Unfortunately, children prefer moms over dads when it comes to driving, which means moms are spending too much time behind the wheel.
Already huge savings on BlackVue, Thinkware and VIOFO and now, take an extra 5% OFF with code: THANKSMOM5
Remember, you’re part of the reason she’s behind the wheel 24/7.
Congratulations, Andrea! That’s a beautiful sunset!

Since April 20, we’ve been sharing dash cam tips on Instagram, and so far, we’ve already shared three tips. Got questions, comments or feedback? Send them to us, like this comment on our April 21 Monday Tip:
Comment: “this doesn’t work on tinted front windshields”
In case you're wondering why not:
A CPL filter, which stands for circular polarizer/liner - is a glass attachment that can reduce the glare from reflected surfaces, such as the windshield. The CPL filter has the ability to reduce unwanted light streaks that blur the camera’s view.
But what happens when you have both a CPL filter and tinted front windshield? You may see crazy rainbow patterns on your footage. And no, you’re not going crazy, nor is your window tinting job bad, nor does it mean your dash cam is defective. The scientific term for this effect is birefringence and it simply means, your tinted windshield and your dash cam’s CPL filter are double-polarizing the light. The Revant blog has a great article that explains the phenomenon.
