CollisionCam exists because somebody totaled Tate Langston's truck and drove off, and there was no video to prove it. That is the whole origin story, and it is still the reason the footage is free.
After the hit-and-run, Tate did what anyone does: filed a report, called the insurer, and then spent weeks being told it was his word against a description of a car. Somewhere in that process he realized the cameras were already there — on buildings, at intersections, pointed at the exact spot where it happened. The footage existed. It just was not reaching the people it was about.
So he started putting up cameras. Not for cities, not for police contracts, and not as a subscription product for drivers. For the person standing at the side of the road with a wrecked car and nothing to prove what just happened.
Everyone here hangs cameras, keeps them running, or pulls the footage. Those are our actual families in the photos. No stock photos, no agency.
A hit-and-run driver totaled Tate's truck and kept going. There was no video, so it came down to his word against a description of a car. He lost weeks to that. Then he started hanging cameras.
He runs CollisionCam day to day: where the cameras go, which partnerships happen, how the company shows up in the towns it works in. The part he guards hardest is the part that never scales. Crash victims get their footage for nothing. Every conversation about making money has ended at that line, and the line has not moved.
Bachelor's from Utah Tech University. Soccer, pickleball, the gym. Husband and father of two, which is a fair part of why safer streets is not marketing copy to him.
The network is physical because Aaron makes it physical. Every camera on a building started with him on the sidewalk, knocking, and a business owner deciding whether to say yes.
His pitch is short: the camera on your wall helps the person who gets hit outside it. He gets the permission, does the install, and keeps field operations running once the camera is up. His master's is in Natural Resources with a background in land management, which sounds like the wrong degree until you watch him clear property lines, easements, and local permitting without breaking stride.
Off the clock: dirt bikes, the outdoors, and his family.
No trial, no tier, no "free consultation" that becomes a bill. If you were in the crash, the footage costs you nothing — and there is no version of this company where that changes.
The footage is yours whether or not you hire anyone. Sponsors and camera partners cover the cost, so it stays free for the people it happened to.
We do not edit footage to favor anybody. The AI reads what happened — signal, speeds, right of way — and reports it. Sometimes that helps the person who asked. Sometimes it does not.
Investigators get full access to our archive. Evidence that only helps one side is not evidence, and safer roads was the point before it was a business.
Requests are how we decide where to install next. Tell us where it happened.
