Hello all. New to the forums here. Here's the story: My friend is being threatened at work and needs a dash cam to protect her car and possible also her. A week ago her expensive new car was damaged/hit requiring lots of money in repairs. We thought it was perhaps a hit and run but now not so sure. Just the other day, her car received a threatening note on it, pretty much saying there is more to come. All of this occurred while it was parked at work. We have our list of suspects but cannot prove anything just yet. Law enforcement also does not have enough evidence to take any action. Note: the parking lot does not have cameras
She needs:
- A dash cam that has enough battery life to last her full 8 hour shift
- Note on battery: we will not be plugging it into the cigarette outlet, to save the car's battery. We will plug it into an external source instead (maybe a 10,000 mAh USB battery backup?)
- discreet enough so the perpetrator does not discover the camera if he/she decides to vandalize the car more
- I do have an iPhone 4S I'm willing to lend her if this seems like a good option as a dash cam (I believe the battery life should record at least 2 hours before dying). If we go with this option, does anyone know of an app that will lower the resolution (for smaller file sizes) and will allow recording with the LCD off?
We are currently considering the DVR-207 since it allows a larger Nokia battery for about 4 hours of continuous recording. Thank you for all your help!
