Get a dashcam. Period!

I bought a new SUV a month ago. It has a backup, lane assist, and an interior camera pointed at the driver, but I cannot access any of the video which I am sure is stored somewhere upon a collision to absolve the automaker from any liability. I had to install my own separate dash camera.

every camera "THEY" need. but not what YOU need.

And you taped over "their" cameras right?

I see maneuvers like that too often on I-5 in Oregon.

I had this happen in front of me on the interstate, yesterday. It could have been bad.



I am not sure what type of license plate frame they had, but between that and their speed, it is near impossible to get anything from their license plate. Best I could do to get this was to take a snapshot from VLC. Any better options for getting stills?

Not that I can think of. You would need a second camera with zoom for better plate reads. At least thats what I have read last time I looked into this.

A real shame that they are only just starting dual purpose cameras.
