When they tell their insurance they had a green light but you got the video

Get one. It's peace of mind. I have a Viofo A229+ and it's fantastic.

If you got hit at around 6:40 am this morning on 295 north by a speeding car…

Thank you OP for posting this. Hope it helps someone. Of note, I recently upgraded to a Viofo A229 Plus dashcam, and that thing has fantastic resolution. It has gotten more expensive because of tariffs, but in my opinion, still worth it. I got the rear dash cam as well.

Hit and Ran by a Semi ‼️

To anyone reading this: Get a dashcam. Viofo A229 is good but almost any will do. Practice using it. Learn how to download footage off the camera. Make sure you have uninsured motorists coverage for both bodily injury and property damage. Wear a seatbelt and don’t speed. Good luck out there.

Why are these people on the road?

Absolutely love it. VIOFO A229 Plus. Got it from Amazon for $130 if I remember correctly. Great quality even in low light as you can see and also has parking mode.

I have a Viofo A229, it's a few years old now but still works well enough. I recommend having a two channel system (front and rear cameras).

get a dashcam or this could be you next

And get something that uses a (super-)capacitor as opposed to a battery - the former holds up to extended periods of high temps. This used to be a much bigger issue ~10 years ago, but it's still good to check and make sure Don't forget a high-endurance SD card. Not the run-of-the-mill cards As far a

Dashcams?

I installed a Viofo a229 plus pretty much day one. Ive got the hardwire kit so its recording when parked and engine off without the fear of it killing the battery. (It auto shuts down if it reads battery voltage too low)

Eyesight and backup cam as dash cameras

I remember someone saying how much of a legal logistical nightmare it would be to have built in cameras function as dash cams which made a lot of sense to me. So short answer no the programming wouldn't allow it and you can't really "hack" eyesight systems in a way that would allow this. I have viof

Dash cam recommendations

I use a VIOFO A229 Plus. Got it off amazon during one of it's many sales. I've had it for 2 years now in the Orlando heat, worked flawlessly so far. It can record when the car is off as long as it's hooked up to a wire that is always powered. Many dashcams can do this. The trick is to know which wir
