One wide angle lense looks forwards and covers the entire front view through your windscreen and the other shows the complete interior of your
vehicle.

Kwikfit insurance have been great.
I reported the accident to them within an hour and then they said they will waiver my excess because of my camera evidence and that the repairers
will contact me the next day between 9am & 11am.
Next day at 11am, phone call.
They would have picked the car up the next day, but I'm working, so they are picking it up next Monday morning and dropping of the courtesy
car.
Not bad so far

would video evidence be still accepted in a court of law tho seeing as the unit isnt a calibrated recognized equipment used by the bib? i know video
is a good bit of ammo i have video for my car too but just basic video - but if it went to court whats to stop someone saying you edited the video?

County Court judges work on "all probability" when insurance companies can't agree on fault. They would view the video as further
evidence.
In my case the video proves i was stationary and that the the car hit me. It shows the driver getting out and clearly hears her apologising for
hitting me.
The format for the video is asd. This is un-editable and with the gps timeline would show jumps in the clock anyway

Do you get money off insurance with them knowing you have that installed? I remember one that had a drive fitted under the seat so you could record
days of footage at a time

I didn't tell them because I want to only use the camera to my benefit. If I disclosed it, they would certainly demand evidence if they gave me
a discount.
One thing is for sure. I had £300 compulsory excess because I live in London but they waived it because the other driver is insured and I have video
evidence to support my claim.
My insurance company said it was a pretty cut and dried case because I was stationary and the woman driver shouldn't have been on the chevrons.

Just to add to this thread. I am quite impressed by the T-Eye and have been watching Ebay for any used ones to appear but they haven't been and
today after arsing around with my brothers broken Audi all weekend I've gone to my Astra and someones gone and scraped the back corner of the
bumper and got off without telling me  So my order will be going in for a T Eye I think.

nice gadget - might get myself one for protection against insurance comanies!
a neighbour bumped into my car recently - he apologised admitting blame and of course his insurance company tried to settle knock for knock... I
successfully argued that given where the incident / damage occured, I would have to have been driving my car side-ways to have been at fault.
ultimately the whole thing was paid out by his insurer - and despite protected NCB my premium went up because I'd "made a claim". Go
figure....
