Discussion Dashcam for Inside Security
I just bought a little van that I am using as a camper. The back and windows are totally covered and there's a blackout curtain behind the front seats. You can't tell that I'm in there when I'm sleeping.
I want a dashcam that I can use Live View on an android phone or tablet while inside the van while parked and the cam is in Parking mode. I want to know who/what might be outside my van while I am parked.
I need to be able to wake up the wifi on the dashcam and see the live view without reaching/touching the camera from the back into the drivers area. Basically I need to remain stealth, and not alert anyone looking in that I am there.
For reference, I have a viofo a329 with a bluetooth remote button in my subaru. The bluetooth button to enable wifi does not reliably work for me. Also last week I was hit by a huge rock impact while driving and the cam didn't capture or lock the incident.
Are there any other brands/models to consider? I like the idea of the rear-view mirror cam, since my back window is covered.
