Hi
I am thinking of buying the i1000 dash cam (http://www.lightinthebox.com/i1000-...black-box-with-rear-view-camera_p1679791.html) and realize that these things only come with a small battery and will only last a few minutes from when the ignition is switched off. I really wanted to have it stay on (and start recording when motion is detected) to catch out someone tampering with my car when I'm not there.
I was thinking of having a small motorbike battery rigged under my bonnet which I would have to recharge myself.
For the above camera, would this be possible? Has anyone ever done this before. I'm not sure if I can place in a higher capacity battery in this model and charge this every time the car drives or whether I need an external battery.
Would someone be able to provide some suggestions on this?
Thanks
