What The Tech: Father’s Day gadgets

CHARLOTTE, NC – Father’s Day is fast approaching (June 16)! And if you’re like me, you’re still looking for the perfect gift to express your gratitude.

Look, we all know dads love gadgets, and they especially love gadgets that other dads don’t already have. So I’ve prepared some modern gift ideas for Father’s Day that are sure to impress.

First up is the Dimo ​​OBD 2 scanner. This handy little device plugs into the car and diagnoses any problems, potentially saving dad a trip to the mechanic (and $100!).

But here’s the kicker: it also tracks the car’s performance and pays out cryptocurrency for sharing that data with the carmaker. It’s like being rewarded for driving!

Next, consider a dash cam. This is a great investment because many insurance companies now accept video recordings for claims. Plus, you can rest easy knowing you have proof in case of an accident.

Look for a dash cam with two cameras to record front and rear. Make sure it starts recording when the vehicle is moving. Nobody wants to remember to press the record button. Some dash cams are sensitive enough to start recording when a car hits a parking lot
you’re not around.

Make sure your dash cam re-records the video that was recorded when nothing is happening. For example, on your way to work, your car camera records video. If nothing happens, the dash cam will record based on previously saved content, so you won’t have to replace the SD card.

Many car cameras also allow you to save the recording by touching the screen. If you happen to see a meteor in the sky, click “save” so you can show it to others.

Finally, for the dad who has everything, how about a TV in a suitcase? The LG StanbyME is a 27-inch portable TV with a built-in battery, perfect for backseat travel or camping. It is certainly a conversation starter and a unique gift that he will be delighted with.

Remember that retailers often have tech gadgets on sale for Father’s Day, so be on the lookout for deals.

Happy Shopping!
