Think it has a better sensor than a typical dash cam?

Typically Sony IMX imaging sensors are pretty well thought of in the machine vision world so potentially better in some ways. Sounds like more hassle than worth to configure a Pi based camera system in your car instead of a cheap yet functional dash cam though

It's really not much of a hassle if anyone wanted to learn. Wiring was simple too, just use a relay to signal when the car acc is on/off. It worked well and I even tied it into my wifi so I could automate remotely downloading the files. What sucks is lack of simultaneous audio and video recording, lack of rtc, time-stamping limitations, fov not suited as dash cam.

LTT did a video on it, but basically, ALL retail sold dash cams have one of a few sensor assemblies, and they're all a bit shit. So if you want that crystal clear love SE plate read you may be out of luck.
So a homebrew solution might actually be reasonable use of time.
