I know the title is funny but we can learn even from thinks which looks funny.
[joke]A russian car owner rent a russian babushlka to guard his camera which is used as surveillance camera. Something like the control of the control.
Here is the video about a permanent dashcam mounted in the car.
Unfortunately the grandmother of Harry Potter aka the russian babushka made a witchcraft and disappeared at 2:43.[/joke]
I don't think the camera was hidden too much.
Judging from the image quality and font used for hour and date I think is not a cheap camera.
Maybe a Blackvue? The Blackvue is not full black like Itronics is, so maybe this is another reason why the thief couple saw the camera.
What we can learn from this lesson? Maybe:
- hide the camera as best you can even adding things to the car like a top solar film or painting in black the rearview mirror
- buy a smaller camera
- think to a camera which have external lens and in a hidden place you can put the DVR. Maybe just the lens is not worth to steal.
- try to avoid bling-bling cameras and the ones which are looking so expensive like FineVu does. Looking cheap is better for you.
- if you have a mount idea which is looking so solid like being a part of the car or of the entire mirror, use it
- you can think to some crazy ideas like wireless transmitting and recording during parking mode. Or to use some external SD card extension cable which will protect your recording even the camera is stolen
- a perimeter sensor alarm
- ... add your ideas here
Of course nothing is ideal from my list, but try the best you can.
enjoy,
