I still think there is a case for rear cameras esp. if no one stops to be witness and the other party decides to contest the incident e.g. never happened. Lucky I had mine the 2nd time, so I was happy knowing it was all on "tape".

During good light, most decent dash cams will pick up the license plates. The more expensive options tend to have better image sensors with acceptable dark image capture. Trying to capture a car directly behind you at night is impossible, their headlights will makes sure of that. The 750S has a 60FPS mode, which makes capturing fast moving cars/plates easier. I'm not sure about the Thinkware.
