Yeah. Dashcams are nice to have, but best case scenario it is a waste of money and you will never need it.
No matter how you look at it or them if you have more is that it is not the end all weapon, they all still have their limitations, and even if your camera are in tip - top shape technically and do record when it have to, there are still the limitations in hardware used, and environmental concerns that can render any number of cameras useless.
The way i see it is some systems may carry a high price that's really not worth it, and then there is the myriad of cheap garbage that's really not worth it.
And somewhere in there you will find the camera that hopefully will be just right for you.
Personally i have been in the game for a long while now, and i have only used my cameras 4 times, two of those was really bad driving i reported to the police, one time i got rear ended but the perp took blame just fine, and then i witnessed a accident last summer from the first row, which was good as the driver left the scene of the accident "his" car and his passenger, but not before standing next to my car for a few minutes.
And as he was "one of the usual suspects" when the cops saw the footage on the police station a hour later ( on a proper sized PC screen ) they went " O that's Habib we better go pick him up now so he can give a blood sample"
So to really have a need for my cameras i have not had yet, but they have been good to have a few times, and i would not like to be without them.
