Hi Everyone,
I never thought i will be joining this forum but getting a car security camera for my needs has been most challenging and frustrating endeavor so far.
Some background, My car was broken into a few months ago which woke me up to need of car surveillance. After some research I chose the latest Blackvue DR 770 x BOX.. I also Paid for CMT 1000 LTE plus T mobile sim Plus Blackvue Power Magic Ultra B130 battery. I paid good money for installation because I got stuck with cables in the middle of my failed installation attempt. After going through all the hoops, I have this Dashcam that is good for nothing. Right now, cloud mode is not working. B130 which is hardwired to my Toyota Camry charges quickly to show 100% on the app but cannot capture for more than 6 to 10 hours before shutting down. Even removing the rear camera did not help with extending parking mode coverage . At times, parking mode does not work at all. The Blackvue app is a disaster. I am still trying to work with their support but I think I may need to say goodbye to this failed venture and try to find simpler alternative.
I guess I did not choose well enough. On reflection, All I am looking for is a camera that can look inside the vehicle for 36 to 40 hours to when I am away 2 to 4 times per month. I am not interested in coverage for at fault proof for accidents and any other non security related uses of dashcam. I guess Ring car cam would have been closest to what I am looking for but its out of stock for next 6 months and reviews were pretty bad in terms of video quality. Even if i get it off eBay for $600 now, I want to run the camera off a Battery pack like B130 if possible rather than hardwiring but it seems you can not do that with Ring cam or 70mai Dash Cam Omni.
As you can guess, I am not an expert in cars or dashcams and level of complexity in this field along with lack of a good easy solution despite spending more than $1000 already is astonishing to me.
I was wondering if somebody has a suggestion about how to get 40 hour coverage for parking mode. I have given up on live view or cloud features etc. I am now ready to get out the SD card from camera every week and check the footage manually if I have to but I need to make sure that camera is recording inside the vehicle for 40 hours non stop when i am away.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
