Hey,
Thanks for keeping a forum. I've read the guides and some reviews. I'm a little conflicted about where to set my budget, since I want to do a setup for both my car and the wife's. We live in NorCal where it can get to 100F (high 40C) when parked and 40F/5C overnight. Here's the specs i want
+Front and rear cameras for each car
+Good parking monitoring (buffered recording)
+Very discreet - install, hardwire, and forget
+WiFi for viewing recordings when returning to the vehicle
+Good iPhone App
+Budget ~$400 total. Ideally lower since I'm not sure we actually will ever need them (like any insurance right?)
+Low vibration mount
+No GPS
Here's the things I can't decide on and why I'm looking for advice
+Supercap or USB battery pack LiFePO4. Worry here is how many days a supercap can keep the camera ticking.
+Two ~$80 cameras per car or one ~$200 set. Are the camera sensors better if I buy two of same; rather then F+R combos
+Am I dreaming that I can install and forget? Will they get stolen?
+Will I have a hard time finding USB powered camera to go with a battery pack (vs 12V)
Thanks!
