    Found out that I just happen to volunteer aside a former FBI agent. I informed he of my plans. He confirmed that it is absolutely legal to place a camera so as to protect my truck bed just as one would mount one on their house to watch the yard. He also suggested mounting the camera inside a handheld toolbox with dirty rags hanging out the top to complete the camouflage. But looking in my cab's rear I found a better solution. My truck has two bench seats in her. Driver and shotgun have headrests, no other seat does. Guess I need to make myself two headrests. One for the camera to reside in. The other one because, really?, have you ever seen a vehicle where only one side has headrests?

    I am having second thoughts though. Not about Blackvue though, nor about the two channel. It will be a blackvue-2ch. But why the 900? I ask myself. Because it is the newest blackvue cam? Because it makes the old models obsolete ? If that's true then we're the old cameras no good?

    i have found out that the old goods are the best and longest lasting across a wide range of everything in life.

    Alright, I have now settled myself on the blackview 900X dual camera, 256GB. I want to buy it. I have cash, but do not wish to have it show up in any database, so it needs to be in person, cash transaction. Any ideas out there? Prepaid visa at Wally World then buy it online. I can't find d any physical brick store retailers.

    Good point. An even simpler method: if they see the camera and they steal the bait, the bait is gone. If they see the camera and don't steal the bait, the bait remains where I place it. If they don't see the camera, they steal the bait so the bait is gone. To the end result of stealing the bait: they either saw the camera and don't care or didn't see the camera and stole the bait. 

    Not so much a questionnaire as an end result.

    You just don’t have a clue

    Absolutely correct. I am beginning to finalize my wants and needs. 

    Need: night vision camera

    dont kill car battery after sitting 4 hours

    High enough quality for facial rec. 

     

    Want: not spend a fortune on unneeded quality (blackvue) 

    Bypass lawyer chain of custody/authorization issues.

     

    Fudge it. Otherwise it'll be censored. Do what my father does. Disregard the price, just buy the best one that satisfies the needs. Blackvue it is. With 4K resolution. 

    Now: single channel or dual? Dual channel has front facing camera and a rear, nty. Single it is. 

     

    Again, there I am trying to cut corners which will also limit its uses. If I am going to put out a bunch of money, I should shell out a little more to guarantee versatility. 

    Dual channel blackvue camera it is. Fudge the cost. Large sd card, ability to record in small segments, nightvision. Doesn't have to be blackvue either, just high quality. Give me some reccomendations. 

     

    I will however test a dummy out. You give me your reccomendation, I'll find its size and put a copycat looking dummy in my rear window to ensure their attentiveness is as nonexistent as I think.

    in the past: I'm trying to not sink a bunch of cash into this 'project'. But I'm coming to realizing quality is priceless. There are no shortcuts. Just foot the bill and I'll be happy.

    Last night. Had it happen again. NOW I can place limits on their (the thieves) observational skills. The campershell on my pickup bed. The rear window/door handle, I purposefully left it perfectly level (to eyeball accuracy) but when I checked it hours later the handle was was ****ed at a 45 degree angle. I swear the fabric I had thrown in my bed was laying in a different layering. Meaning they did a quick search of my bed, or at least the fabric, but missed the cordless power drill (bait) that had slid up to the bed's  front right. Therefore, their observational skills are quite weak. Implying a bulky camera in the rear may not be noticed nor a rear facing camera inside the cab.  

    I will be buying the $20 camera in the coming days.

    Just ordered the up-20-mpg spy camera from eBay for $48+$7 shipping

    a few notable specs: *do note all these specs are manufacturer provided not 3rd party verified

     

     

    I really wanted some videos of it in use at night. So far here is what I found:

    daytime use of the UC-20: 

     

    This video also clarified another desire I needed: date/time stamp. 

    No luck finding a night video of the uc-20 camera, much less one of the specific version I got, MPG.

    Don't think I need the software to decode (convert)  the video input because it already is USB so no conversions from analog needed.  To be honest, I haven't looked but I would assume Spinelelectronics would provide a complimentary software to go with their products. Resolution of the MPG is 2MP. 

    BUT, as I said before. One step at a time. It claims my OS is supported. XP that is for my surveillance labtop.
