I posted a similar thread about a year ago.
Does anybody know of a Dash Cam with some or most of the following features? I can't believe I can't find something like this and/or nobody produces it.
I think the real purpose of a Dash Cam is strictly to document events. For example, it documents who ran the red light, the hit and run vehicle, or the person rifling through your glove box at night.
You don't need super high definition video and you don't need 60 frames per second.
You do need 360° coverage – front, back, both sides. The mounted camera unit should be as small as possible. The receiver unit with storage should be somewhat hidden – maybe in the trunk. It has to be hardwired. It must have night vision. You need a "parking mode" with a 30 second or so running preamble that is pre-pended to any motion detection event before the wires are cut or camera ripped away.
It would be so much easier if auto manufacturers would offer something like this as a new car option. It will cost several hundred bucks, but would alleviate a lot of nonsense.
Does anyone know of something like this?
Thanks,
Barry.
