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.

Too rare to worry about.

But that is the sort of accident where it matters much
more than just who gets to pay for the repair of the car.

But since they are so rare, I don't worry about them as I'll probably never have one.

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.

Where would you place it?

Most obviously in the body of the car, particularly if its
doing dual duty as an accident camera and parking camera.

You'd have to keep it watertight somehow.

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

I only need it for the most likely thing.

Parking is much more likely than an accident.

and be a reversing camera and parking camera as well.

Only if you're **** at those things.

Got nothing to do with being ****, its just not possible
to see where the front of the car is with some cars.

Bull****.

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.

I don't seem to have this problem. Just lean forwards.

Not even possible to see where the front of the car is
by doing that with plenty of cars. And you can never
see where the back of it is by doing that either.

You know the shape of your own car, do you have no spatial awareness whatsoever?

And it would be much more convenient to just glance
at the screen anyway, particularly if it's a well designed
system which shows you the camera which currently
is the closest to something outside the car too.

Easier for learner drivers perhaps.
