Has/does anyone leave an old/small android phone in the car as a dashcam?
I was thinking a small android phone with an app which records 15min clips which then automatically gets uploaded.
You could build a custom surround to hide it at the top of your windscreen.
Just been thinking about it and it seems like a great idea for what I am after!
Would like to auto upload videos, have it as a tracker and also have a battery for permanent recording. The price is also about the same as a good dashcam.
I know the field of view won't be as wide but that's a compromise I'm willing to make and most phones have decent 1080P video cameras now too!
Quite a lot of new stereo systems in cars are android now as well so i think this will be the way forward for dashcams in the very near future for whichever maker takes on the challenge to gain the rewards!
