I just installed a streetguardian dual camera system which covers what's going on in front and back of the car. Now I would like to add another camera to record police and other encounters which take place on the side of the car. I'm thinking something to mount on the pillar between passenger front and rear doors, aimed at the driver. So it would cover both the cabin and the policeperson who usually is outside the drivers window.
I have read the older threads about police encounters, but they seem more geared towards front/back than sideview.
Having something that is discreet and "set it and forget it" is important to me; I don't want something big that will get knocked around by passengers or be in the way. A wifi camera without a screen is appealing, so that I won't need access to the back, and the back can be mounted right against the pillar. I live in Arizona where heat is an issue so capacitor vs battery is required.
I'm leaning toward the Blueskysea b1w for its small size and lack of display. It sounds like the problem with the mic reported in some reviews has been fixed by the manufacturer. The only thing obviously missing is IR illumination, but that seems to only be available on dual camera dvrs which I don't need.
Anyone have other thoughts?
