    Okay. Here is my first trial of leaving the cam outside the car.

    The footage is nice, though, someone parked their car in front of the camera an hour later, blocking some of the view from my car. Most of the footage I got that day were trees moving in the wind, and some people walking by. A concern though is the trigger speed being too slow. Most of the footage I got of people walking by were already like 3/4 quarters past the screen at the :01 second mark of the video. Unless there is another setting to make the trigger speed quicker, the sensor level was on high.

     

    And of course, leaving the camera out in the open, I had to check back up on it every so often. I'm going to try and hide it deeper into the bushes next time.

    Well. I've had the camera for about 3 days. Got to play around with it a bit. Problem: the camera doesn't seem to trigger from motion through glass..

     

    I have the camera setted up by strapping it to the passenger headrest. I have the motion sensitivity on high. Leaving the camera on for 8 hours, away at work, the only footage I get is: be adjusting the camera and turning it on in the beginning and driving in my car. It has never triggered or anything outside the car (glass).

     

    PIR won't work through glass

     

    Why not strap it to a nearby tree or building?

     

    Unless you live in a apartment complex or HOA

     

     

    It's possible I could strap it to a tree except it would be tedious strapping it on and off for everyday at work (but worth it). Though, I am worried about the camera itself getting stolen. I mean, I don't want anyone to know it's there, so I'd have to set it up and take it out when no ones looking.

     

    But setting the camera outside the car would indeed produce the best footage.

    Get the Bushnell. It has invisible IR illumination. If you put all the batteries in it and the sensitivity is set right so it doesn't take 100's of images a day the batteries will last a year! I have one on my property to catch animals. The only issue is some motion blur for fast moving objects at night but most all will do that. I've had a few Moultrie game cams but they failed after about 10mo so now sticking with Bushnell from now on.

     

     

    Cool. Except my game is human

    You can get a battery operated camera like the Brinno MAC200, last a year on 2 batteries, strap it to a tree or pole and it records using it's PIR motion detection and see who's doing it. Also, there's many trail cameras that can serve the same purpose.

     

    So I think it looks really good, easy to use and long battery life makes it excellent, however in a review I read it has no night-vision. Which means two things. I need a camera w/ night-vision or park somewhere with some light.

    What about this record to sd card and it's discreet .

    For power don't they make a solar panel that plugs into cig lighter?

     

    Just some ideas

     

    If you wanted to watch live you could hook up a craddlepoint 4g router.

     

    Good lcuck and if you catch them post the video for us.

     

     

    Interesting but how could I leave that in my car recording?

     

    Haha yes I'll defininently post a vid if I get them. I have at least 3 suspects

    Sorry if this is in the wrong section. Not sure where else it would go.

     

    Anyways, my car gets keyed from time to time. I'm getting fed up with it. It usually happens at work and sometimes I suspect at the gym. I'm looking for to use two cameras, mounted inside the car pointing outwards looking through the windows— front and back with the intent of catching anyone in the act when the occasion arises. Its got to be something I can leave out for at least 8-10 hours as well.

     

    Any ideas? Suggestions? Methods? Recommendations for a camera?
