Hi All,
It's been a few years since I've stepped into the dashcam world and much has changed, it's nice to see that dashcams are starting to move into providing cloud functionality so I'm looking for advice.
I am looking for a dashcam which will automatically upload video to my server at home while out driving. I'm very technical, I don't have storage or bandwidth concerns. Setting up a custom MiFi system in the car is cool if needed, it would be a fun project.
Linux hacks/Gitlab/Firmware hacks are perfectly fine as well.
Essentially I'd like to upload the files to an FTP server at home while the car is out and about. The reason for this is that I travel a lot for work and need to have expensive equipment in the car at all times and my work often takes me into major cities where the car could be parked for hours or overnight.
The more customisable the uploading, the better really.
In Addition the camera would have to be hardwired, again this isn't a problem and installing extra batteries etc isn't problematic for me.
Budget is up to 10k, not including monthly costs if needed (Can't put a price on safety lol)
I understand that this is very specific needs, any information or self learning resources is appreciated, I love learning.
Most the research I've done basically states that storage and bandwidth cost would be the biggest roadblock to a system like this, as well as no real out-the-box functionality.
If there is any out-the-box software that this function built in, a point in the right direction would be appreciated. If anyone has particular dashcam suggestions that work well with custom software I would be grateful as well
Dumps of the best information sources would also be great, I've had moderate success with google searches but any really good discussion threads would also be welcome
Thank you all in advance for your time
