Blew $400 on a fancy dash cam setup and it barely caught a hit-and-run

I bought a high-end dash cam with parking mode after my truck got sideswiped in a Nashville lot. Only problem is the motion sensor kept triggering on passing cars and filled the memory before the actual hit happened. Anyone else have a dash cam that missed the one thing you actually needed it for?

Man, did you wire that thing backwards or something? I dropped $300 on a dash cam with night vision and parking mode thinking I was being smart, and it caught my neighbor walking his dog at 3 AM but completely missed the guy who backed into my bumper at Kroger. The motion sensor on mine is so sensitive it picks up leaves blowing, so I had to turn it way down and now it only records ghosts apparently. My buddy told me to get a super expensive one with AI detection, but at this point I feel like I'm just paying for a fancy toy that fails when it counts. How do you even figure out the right balance between too many alerts and missing the real action?
