NTUC Income encourages use of in-car cameras

NTUC Income, Singapore's largest motor insurer, has launched a new mobile application to encourage the use of in-car cameras. Orange Eye is the latest initiative by the insurer to combat motor insurance fraud.

The app, available for free on both iPhone and Android platforms, comprises a recording device which captures footage of the road and enables drivers to conveniently submit their videos as evidence when making motor insurance claims.

Besides a recording device, Orange Eye has an Accident Toolkit that helps drivers make informed decisions in accident situations.

This includes an 'instant call' button to activate NTUC Income's Orange Force accident response team, a 'message' button to send a pre-determined SMS together with map location to your chosen emergency contact, as well as other useful advice on what to do after an accident.

To encourage the use of Orange Eye, NTUC Income will offer its motor policyholders a $100 discount on their insurance premiums when they submit useful video evidence that helps settle a claim, regardless of which party is liable.

The same offer is also extended to non-policyholders if they choose to be insured with NTUC Income upon renewal of their motor insurance policy. Even those who are not involved in the accident can enjoy the discount if they have useful video evidence that helps settle a claim made after an accident, provided they are policyholders or become policyholders.
