Could this be used when the car is parked overnight to surveil ongoing vandalism?

Yes, if your car's cigarette outlet stays powered on when the car is powered off. The camera goes into a sleep mode where it only turns on when it detects motion to try and not drain your car battery. You can change the sensitivity of this feature. If your 12V outlet turns off with when your car turns off, then you will need to rewire the outlet a little or just wire the camera directly into the car's battery/fuse box. Another thing to note, my battery was getting old and alternator was apparently failing.... so leaving this plugged in without turning the car on for an entire weekend drained my battery to the point were the car would not start Monday morning. My boss was not pleased when I was late to work, trying to get a jump from my kind neighbor. Replacing the battery and alternator, I have not had this issue again. Just a warning, it does drain some power.

Yes. But you need to make an special connection to make the cam works always. Ot buy an accesorie called magic .... U dont know the name ....

Yes, if the 12V connection stays powered when the car is off. Most newer cars shut the power off. In "parking mode" it only records when it senses motion, so it won't get a complete recording of everything.

There is a Battery pack called "T Power C" that can be used to provide power in lieu of draining your car battery. Google for the website. Could be available on Amazon of Ebay.

Depends on the type of car you have. I know fords have a continuous power supply to their sockets, meaning power always goes to them whether the car is on or off. If that is the case, then yes you are correct. However, some cars only supply power when the car is on, if that is the case then no it will not. But, if you are familiar with 12v wiring, u can run a wire to your battery so you have a continuous power supply. One last thing I would like to say is I recommend you try and find another camera. I ended up returning this one because it would not stay on, I only had it about 3 weeks before it broke. Hope this helps Depends on the type of car you have.

This is a mobility detector. If anybody is about 1 meter from the vehicle it will actívate your car alarm system.It is not an alarm system, it is just an additional device to the car alarm system.

it can only be used when parked and will make a file every time motion detection is used. there are 3 levels of motion detection

No, just showing this device would not deter anyone who breaks into your apartment, you have to make contact with the invader to shock them. I would suggest the writer purchase a Taser gun or explore other defense options that can be applied from a distance .

It is a motion detector an to use it you should use a alarm system the motion detector works great and the alarm system is to notify you when somebody gets to close to your car or truck

Yes, however make sure you clean the suction cup mark when you park your car. Thieves look for the suction cup marks on windshields these days.

We have one of these mounted to a carport pole facing up our driveway. It does not flash, so would not be easy to spot at night. Not only that, but if for some reason they do see the camera, the picture would still be contained on the remote unit which can be hidden over 90 feet away. Therefore you'd still have their picture. If you can use a standard digital camera, this should be easy for you to operate.

No. I used it for parking lot lights for luninanaire survey. It works fine.

I have not received mine yet, but based on the pictures, I would think that a good cut resistant steel cable looped through a vehicle bumper or something similar (two cinder blocks is 80 lbs) with a strong pad-lock would at least deter a would-be thief somewhat. If a thief wants something bad enough they will find a way to get it. (Make sure that your system is listed on your homeowners insurance.) I plan on having a motion activated light & alarm aimed right at my charger as well.

Yes. It's a thick canvas like material. I would not leave it out overnight though.

Yes, this would work fine for that. In addition to the motion detector, use the window/door sensor... Great idea!

I don't think so. You'd be better off finding some vinyl for bumper stickers...this paper probably wouldn't last long, and it still smears a bit.

Absolutely, just like anything in life; then it becomes worthless to the end user doesn't it! But you can always use it in your car to make someone think you have an alarm system for theft.

No, I don't think so, it does not work when the car is turned off, unless it is connected to an external power. So normally the car will almost on move when it is recording, and the motion detection function is not necessary.

I don't think it's a good idea to use it as a home security device. I have put it on the dashboard. It is really good during the daytime, but it is hardly seen on the screen at night. The quality of the recording at night is terrible.

I only use it for spot checks, but I would think it could be continuously provided it was taped on or something

Yes. In daylight use the detector . Used it to set grade on a lot last week . Have also run lines and set foundations with it
