A regular dashcam will save the event just as fine, but sure if you drive around with a 8Gb card in it, its not good.
But a 256 GB card which you should at least use these days, well you can drive on for half a day more and still have your event even if its not locked.
If you get in a fender bender, and forget all about it in half a day, well you dont deserve to have it on video
I am eager to test a cloud camera, but i have to admit they will have to fight to win me over to the cloud side.
My phone provider is the countries #2 largest one, and it have roaming agreement with the largest one, and little old Denmark is flat as a pancake, so i am covered with 2 nationwide networks. ( both also at nationwide 5G coverage now, slower long range frequencies )
Also just got upgraded to 5G and more data ( i think 80 GB/mo now ) the problem is my phone are just 4G and as for data i can barely break 2 GB/mo
Also have free speech, which is also not needed as i talk on the phone for about 2 hours /mo
Also on phone plans, i am Mr. Overkill
Something like that would be nice, but there is a snag, those sites are not set up for dashcam use, so i assume if you have a data limit, it could be reached and so at least fill up, and you would manually have to go there and delete old footage.
It would be better if you had a automated delete of old events say after a few weeks or maybe a month.
That should be sufficient of time to retrieve footage, even if you have been knocked out pretty cold, and have ended in the cold incompetent hands of the Danish public healthcare system.
IMO what i would most like in a cloud system ( i think ) would be the instant notifications if something happened while parked, i do get that at home with the CCTV but it would be nice to have elsewhere too.
