Having problems with my car being vandalized. I need someone to simplify what I need to know about Dashcam's that have Cloud mode to see if that is something I should get as I move toward purchasing a Dashcam/s.
Car is parked in a parking garage as well as outdoor lots (i.e. Walmart, supermarkets, etc).
The problem I see is if a vandal strikes again and sees the dashcam, he can just break into the car and steal the dashcam--presto, no evidence now.
So it seems that the Cloud is the answer, correct?
If so, is my understanding correct that I need a Dashcam with parking mode that triggers on both motion and impact to cover all the basis, yet? And then I need that captured event video of the vandal to automatically trigger and send video to the Cloud so vandal can't steal the Dashcam with video card inside, yes?
Besides a cloud-enabled dashcam, what else do I need? I don't have a Smart Phone and don't want one.
How do images get carried from the dashcam to the Cloud? Is it via WiFi, or via my basic/dumbphone's cellular signal, or what? If Cloud transmission requires WiFi, what happens if the garage or outdoor lot I am parking in is not in a Wi-Fi zone or in an area that has a good cell signal (i.e. in both cases, what I would call a "dead zone".
Once again, I have a basic/dumb phone, not a smart phone, and I don't have a Wi-Fi subscription. I lack understanding on these matters, the Cloud feature on Dashcams, and need help to see if this will work for me.
