This is my first post so wanted to say hello to everyone and with that in mind please forgive me if my questions are a bit untechnical.
Ideally I want a very discrete camera as I want to be able to install and forget about it. Whilst I do not live in a very high crime zone I would certainly not leave anything in the car that is capable of attracting any attention, especially whilst parked (car is parked on the street).
One general observation for looking through this site is the cameras all appear to be one box solutions, is there a technical reason why the lens and optical section could not be separated from the larger recording unit? Based upon my complete lack of knowledge in this area this may be a silly question but a split system would seem to be easier to integrate as the recording box would be easier to hide somewhere in the interior of the car. My second question is can any dash cams be powered by taping into the electrical system rather than using a cigar lighter socket
