Well, I guess I have not given much thoughts.... you are right... there is nothing I can do with the image after someone dings the door or scratches the bumper..... Well, no wonder the recording while parked feature is not available....

I still hope that this car DVR be available as an option for new cars... this seem very useful in case of accident, but it should be seamlessly integrated (like in dash navigation) so that no extra wires/batteries needed to power them.....
