I bought one for my CRV because I watched too many dashcam videos, and it seemed like a really good idea for a small investment of mine.

The person ran, but the dashcam got their plate number and the cop was able to look it up. I was able to call their insurance. If it weren't for the dashcam, I wouldn't have been able to prove it happened.

oh, have heard though , like people write down or say so and so license plate caused the accident and they can do nothing. Maybe on video that changes very drastically.

Protecting you from fraudulent claims is a good enough reason on its own.

But they can deter thieves and get you an insurance discount if you need more.

The cops looked up the plate number and got some additional information, like what insurance they had. Not sure what would have happened if I just wrote it down without having any footage. Maybe they would have brushed it off. From their perspective, I could have lied about it.

so their insurance paid for all of it? you had no contact whatsoever with that person, what happened though, they hit you, did you try to give chase?

It was $100 CAD on sale down from $160. It's definitely for liability sake. My coworker had his Ford Escape written off because somebody did an illegal U-turn in front of him, which she swerved to avoid and hit a utility pole. There was no accident other than his impact on a utility pole, so they were going to knock some merits off of his license. Only eyewitness testimony and a camera at that intersection saved him.

I got one for Christmas, but because its currently 1 degree out and snowing, I'm going to wait until May to put it on. I live in a relatively safe province so most of the time I don't have to deal with idiots. I will say that my first transition to having a backup cam was a game changer.

They paid me a sizable amount, about $1K. I think that was the full amount of damage, but I'm not 100% sure since I'm not a car expert. When they ended up running, I didn't chase them. No reason to. I just called the police, explained the story, and had the footage ready for them to see.

Did he still have to totally write off his car, he had no dashcam at that time , and they still wanted to ticket him?

They weren't going to ticket him, but Autopac was going to give him an at fault accident and knock five merits off of his license. And yeah, his car was totally written off.

Anyone in the market for one, don't get Rove brand, or if you do, get a Rove brand memory card. It tells what kind of card you need, but if you get one that isn't Rove, it's not going to work 90% of the time as it tells you to buy a Rove brand memory card.

I live in Canada. You can't be uninsured to legally drive a vehicle. He didn't lose his vehicle for nothing.

Is like front easily the most important, how much does a good one cost?

I used to then I sold my car with it and didn't remove the dash cam. I was planning on buying a better one, but never got around to it. They are definitely handy though. I was always considering buying one, but what really made me finally pull the trigger is when I was driving through my neighborhood, some jogger tried to jog at my car when I got close. I had to swerve out of the way.

To me, the front is more important because it can save you from at-fault in the case of rear-ending someone.

The one I have was around $150. It works well enough.

Nah, I didn't want to bother with taking it since I wanted a better one anyway. I had it professionally installed so that it would be wired to start when my car starts plus the cables hidden.

It as $130, but I had gift cards and only paid $20. Can't remember what I didn't like about it though. It wasn't a bad dash cam, but there was a feature I wanted that others had that this one didn't have that I overlooked. I'd link the page, but apparently the page doesn't exist on Amazon anymore. This looks like this might have been the one. Significantly cheaper now if it is. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Crosstour/962105741

I wouldn't call it a necessity. It can all depend on where you live/what kind of traveling you're doing.

If you're mostly rural/small town driving, it probably won't serve you much purpose. Or if you're not driving many miles a year.

However it is more like an insurance policy than anything else. Something you should want, but hope to never need.

I use this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SRQH4R7

The footage is sharp enough to read most nearby licenses at the highest resolution setting. It doesn't have a back cam though.

This one looks similar to the above, but also has a back camera:

I used to. Then one afternoon I went to my car to grab something and when I opened it I saw a white pill on my seat which threw me off because I dont take any meds. And then when I sat in my seat I noticed someone rifled through my console and glove box and then saw that they ripped my dash cam from its wiring.
