No one was talking about proving damage to the insurance company. With comprehensive insurance in force, they're on the hook for paying the damage in nearly all cases except those specifically carved out in the contract. The point was to hold a specific individual accountable for his actions, even if he insists upon denying any or all responsibility. Certain video angles can only provide circumstantial evidence. One or more video angles capturing the undamaged car, the responsible individual, and then the damaged car without any gaps or supposition become indisputable hard evidence. And no one is going to pay for the use of a mass spectrometer and a professional to analyze and compare paint samples in the case of a parking lot incident.
It's called paint transfer. If I have a red car and you a white car, then there should be no red paint on the vehicle. If your bumper is damaged and there is red paint in the area of damage, the insurance company assumes that where the vehicle hit caused the damage....You're overthinking things bud
Overreliance upon a lead-acid car battery to provide power a dashcam in parking mode will have some affect upon the lifetime of that battery. The lower the voltage cutoff that is set for the dashcam power supply, the greater that negative effect will be. While there are many other variables associated, one should consider the sooner cost of a new car battery if they are employed in this manner. And in RavenManiac's specific case, "quite a while" is simply not enough.
Ok, we all know the battery suffers a level of drain by running a dash camera. Maybe it's 10 or 20 %? I'm willing to live with that to capture accidents. Hell, my car just got hit a few days ago and the video proved fault immediately. Had that happen on a minor accident a few yrs ago, where video also proved fault.
A battery is around $100-200.......Damage or injuries can run in the 1000s or 10s of thousands or more. ...Seems you look at the little picture instead of the big one.
