Point very well made, re, having multiple dash cameras which give full around the car coverage, that is "ALWAYS ON WHEN CAR IS RUNNING".... slaved to a digital hard drive mounted in the trunk.
Small up front cost, big repayment on the back side.for each incident, such as this one. My plan to use 4 cameras would give full coverage. One in front windshield, one inside mounted to each B pillar aimed across interior of car and out the side windows, and one in rear window. All of them with 120 degree field of view, night vision, and gps and date time stamp built in, recording at 1080 so it can be played on any big screen TV. Then, the script reads: Officer, I have the whole event on camera, live as it happened. Please watch this. Add: a USB port to the hard drive so you can insert a thumb drive and hand that to the officer, On Mon, Oct 1, 2018 at 10:10 AM Curt Raymond via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Ahh, you didn't mention the pics before.
