Fairly new to the world of dash cams. My only (brief) experiences so far have been with a Kenwood DRV-410 and a Compustar Dash. The KW had g-sensor only (no motion detection). Among other problems with the dual 720p Compustar, it featured a waay too much blue LED spyro-gyro "look at me" lighting.
Background: I was recently keyed for the first time ever. This seemed very personal and also, wildly excessive. It happened at work, and the way we have to park, anyone can approach from the E,W,N, or S and leave the same way.
Ideally, I will be able to figure out which reasonably-priced discreet little beasts can hold up to 70C/152F temps. The ideal camera(s) will have a capacitor, parking mode, maybe even the ability to partition 'parking' and 'events' since I am far and away much more interested in what happens after I park my vehicle and leave it for 12 hours. Oh yes, I'll also need a Cellink B. And a GPS, but just to track the time. (Having to toggle through tons of extraneous video really busted my chops, especially when it defaulted several hours' worth to Jan 1, 2000 at 12:00:00:00.)
In my case -- using dash cams to capture people approaching my vehicle -- wouldn't parking mode be necessary on all four cameras? Or could I get by with maybe just F/R parking mode, and G-sensor on the sides? Would they work in tandem with one another, even if it was four dedicated dash cams (not 4-channel)? Any advice greatly appreciated.
