Hello all. Noob here. Just picked up the 750S-2CH.
Unfortunately I cannot get a WiFi signal where I park my auto, but an idea did occur to me that might at least catch a thief stealing my dashcam, and I was wondering if it has been done or is feasible.
Idea: A car server that is securely and covertly mounted that can connect to the cam wirelessly, and record a constant stream of files (the 1-minute ~100MB files), or generate its own files from the live video. This way, if the cam is stolen, at least I'd have video right up until that moment and perhaps be able to submit evidence to the police so they can do their usual job of not caring at all about crimes like this. At least I'd get to 'care' about it
It only need be powerful enough to capture files a little faster than they are produced, so something like a Raspberry Pi would do the trick, although something with a SATA port would be preferable (many SBCs now have). I could add a small 4-bay SSD NAS or otherwise redundant storage method of at least 1TB.
Ideas / suggestions / fatal-flaws?
