@LE55ONS on youtube has a great idea. (saw the following comment on a Techmoan video review) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... dPHXv8Hzj8
"I wired my dashcam into the live feed for my interior light. As a bonus it starts recording when I unlock and continues recording for 5 minutes after the car has been locked"
Great idea!
I'm going to try that as well. Dome lights usually have 3 switches. On(with doors open)/On any time/Off
I noticed if I accidentally leave my Dome light "On, any time mode" and walk away, my Smart Car will still shut off the light 5'ish minutes later. (I need to time it, been a while)
I'm thinking if I power my mini 0801 DVR off of this same line, I'll get the extra bit of recording when I park and walk away. Sounds good in theory !
(and should start recording as soon as I remote unlock)
Anyone else try this or think it's a good/bad idea?
