That's my issue with any of the continuous recording parking modes. I really want some sort of event notification to get triggered when something of interest happens. Ideally I like both collision and motion, but again there's different implementations here.
@Jeff_Vantrue do you know which cameras record for motion detection on the N4 Pro S?
I haven't done extensive testing with the N4 Pro S yet. With motion detection you need to play around with the sensitivity levels to balance recording important stuff and minimizing recording every car, person, or leaf blowing in the wind. I've seen some companies also add extra filtering to avoid things like trees overhead or adding AI to try and do better analysis to determine when to trigger or not.
If you want some sort of internet connection, you need a SIM card to connect to nearby cell towers. Unless a manufacturer is offering some free data for a period of time as a promo, you'll need to pay a monthly fee for this, just like you do with your cell phone.
Most companies offer that for free. Blackvue charges if you want multiple devices, but it's free for one device. Thinkware gives 10 cams free. You can always look up any manufacturer you're interested in to see their approach.
I don't see any info about it on their website. You can ask
