With‘crash for cash’ scams on the increase and payouts worth £400m a year, it’s never
been more important to record your journeys on the road and be prepared for any
incidents that may occur along the way. Crash for cash claims add on average £14 to
each of our premiums, but if you’re unlucky enough to be personally victimised,
not only is your health at risk but your insurance premium could rise by up to 30%.
ROAD ANGEL Halo is specically designed to ght back against fraudulent claims as
a simple, discreet accident camera suitable for use in any vehicle. Halo continuously
records and saves footage as you drive, and in the event of an accident uses G-Force
sensors to capture the footage in an event le. This footage is then saved separately
and can later be used as evidence in a claim.

With built-in GPS technology and Google Maps, Halo is able to pin-point where
your vehicle was and the GPS speed it was travelling at the time of an accident*.
The optional sound recording feature also means, if switched o, you can retain your
privacy as you drive. Both cameras allow for clear, reliable footage with viewing
angles of 150°, a HD resolution of 1280p x 720p in the forward facing camera and
640p x 480p in the rear.
