I agree with Fintro11, thought it was most important to be able to read a license plate clearly if some perp damages my car
My Windows 7 laptop won't be supported any longer (after January 2020) so I picked up a 4K Windows 10 and installed the Blackvue DR900S-2CH. Working great so far. Also added the Power Magic Pro to capture events that might happen while the car is parked.
Wait, you mentioned this person with the red F150 is your brother in law? Why not just speak to him, and ask him to be a little more mindful when next to your car?
