I currently have a Viofo camera that's a bit over a year old. It's my third or fourth one, and it died a day or two ago. It powers up and down, makes the sounds I'd expect, but shows a ton of icons on the display and the display doesn't show what is in front of the camera. So, I'm on the market for a new camera.
I'm looking to spend up to $400 for a nicer camera if it has the features I want, otherwise I'll probably to with a cheap, budget camera. My ideal camera would have:
I'm looking to spend up to $400 for a nicer camera if it has the features I want, otherwise I'll probably to with a cheap, budget camera. My ideal camera would have:
- WIFi - It would connect to my home network and expose all the files stored on it via Samba, FTP, or some other way to allow me to browse the files on the card. I'd then copy them off of the card and store them on my home file server.
- Dual power input, remote input, something like that - It'd have a constant 12v power input and a switched input so the camera would know when the vehicle was on or off. When on, it'd record video. When off, it might record time lapse or something of that sort.
- GPS - I think I'd prefer GPS. I'm worried that I might be found at fault in an accident if I were speeding or something of that sort, but I really don't speed often, and when I do its only a couple MPH. I currently have GPS enabled.
- Display - I'd like to see the display so I know if it is working or not. (Which reminds me, I need to pull the card... even though the display on my current camera is ****ed, it might still be working)
- Dual camera would be a plus
