1. The IR Cabin Channel: Midnight Becomes Visible

Infrared illumination lights the cabin without blinding anyone — faces, handoffs, seat conditions, all recorded in full detail at midnight. A road-facing camera at night is a liability film; the IR channel is the exonerating film. For a driver whose rating and license ride on what happens in the back seat, this channel is the product.

2. The Four Disputes It Closes

One: the false accusation — passenger claims reckless driving or worse; the synchronized road+cabin timeline answers. Two: the missing order — the clip shows the sealed bag entering their hands. Three: the damaged-item claim — the interior condition before, during, after. Four: the after-ride damage — something broken 'by the driver' that the cabin footage proves was already broken. Drivers report visible cameras change behavior before footage is ever needed.

3. Road Channel: The Other Half of the Shield

The 4K front channel carries the same Starvis-class night sensor as the A5, and the rear channel documents the collisions professional drivers live with in traffic. GPS stamping puts speed and position on every frame — the combination that turns three clips into one coherent timeline for an adjuster.

4. The Compliance Setup (State by State)

Cabin video: legal for drivers. Cabin audio: follows state consent law — one-party states (Texas, Florida, New York) allow it; all-party states (California, Illinois, Washington, about a dozen total) require the mic off or posted consent. The G12 firmware carries a one-tap mic toggle, and the compliant setup is a small cab card stating the recording policy. Two minutes of setup keeps every clip admissible.

5. Shift Economics: The Math Drivers Actually Run

One upheld false claim costs a driver their rating, their account, or their license — the income multipliers dwarf the hardware. The G12 runs at a factory pricing with supercapacitor power (night shifts in summer heat included), 12-month warranty, and MOQ 1 pc for fleet operators equipping whole teams.
