Hello!
I live in an apartment and have a shed in the furthest spot from the building that houses two motorcycles. In the last few months, it has been broken into at least three times a week and urinated on/in almost daily. The first time a motorcycle ramp was stolen but the bikes were not touched. Since then, I've reinforced the doors but they still get yanked partially open at least once a week. Someone has also been urinating on the doors, through the doors and placing random junk in front of the doors (tree stump, muffler, etc.). I need a camera that I can mount in a vehicle that will be parked across from the shed and will record with the vehicle off, preferably only when something is happening. I believe that I am looking for something with a low current draw, maybe no lights in standby mode (or I'll cover them with electrical tape), no screen or a screen that shuts off, motion detection and a long recording time. There is a parking lot light right above the space that the vehicle will be parked in so there will be some night time lighting although the times of the events seem to be both day/night anyway.
This is really the only use I will have for the camera, and hopefully won't need it after I catch the people involved (other than as a novelty dash cam since I'll own it) so I don't want to spend too much. But it is getting frustrating quickly so I'm ready to do whatever I need to get the job done within reason.
Am I in the right place? Any shared knowledge or recommendations would be appreciated.
