Camera performance gen 1 vs gen2 for capturing incidents

[Osyras]

My gen1 quad has been written off and the cameras did not record the accident (it may be in the local car storage but that was unusable after the accident and the hdd cuts off about 3 seconds before the accident). Has event recording to the drive improved on the Gen2? Or is a dash cam still the best way to go for certainty?

Thanks

Resolution is better on gen2. That much is known.

For certainty, I have a Thinkware 1000 (4K front, 2K back) on my Gen1. I'll probably install the same (or better) even if the Gen2 cameras are good enough. 2K resolution is barely good enough for reading license plates on an R1T but would work better on an R1S due better rear camera positioning.

someone with a gen2 ill have to chime in but the camera quality is far superior so whatever it does captures will look significantly better.
