Thinking of getting one as support in cases of accidents.

IMO you need an invisible one so that if the accident
was your fault, you can just not mention it.

Just remove it quickly and hide it.


Easier said than done, particularly if it's a serious accident
and you can't get to it because you aren't free to move.


Can't say I've ever had one of those.


But they obviously do occur.

Makes more sense to have an invisible one so that
no one except you knows that there is one in your car.


The invisibility cloak has not yet been invented.


It isn't hard to have the lens so that it isn't obviously a camera lens.

And it makes sense for it to be able to do everything,
provide you with a record of who broke into your car
too and who side swiped it when it was parked or ran
into the back of your car.


Perhaps.


No perhaps about it.

But the majority of the time it was someone hitting you when you were
driving.


But it makes more sense to have the cameras do it all
and be a reversing camera and parking camera as well.

I find with the modern cars that slope very sharply at the
front, it isn't at all clear just where the front of the car is
when parking so it would be useful to have the cameras
help with that as well.
