Can this be used as a car camera like those you mount on the windshield for accidents/insurance purposes ?

Im sure you can but it would depend on battery life. You may be able to use a car charger that accepts USB cable. I mounted the camera on my motorcycle and it worked fine accept for a little shake.

Yes but u have to buy a suction cup for the winshield. It is sold seperatly.

You should be able to use it that way. I used mine while on a criuse as activities were going on and the quality was very good

Absolutely! That is exactly why I got this baby. Works really well. It records in 15 min increments so if you need to use the footage you don't need a ton of editing. Mine came with the attachment to mount it to the dash, along with the belt clip and headband mount. Mine also came with waterproof case too.

This comes with many mounting options. I have one mounted on my dash and it can work as a dash camera.

with the correct mounts, yes it can. the remote control makes it easy to start recording when you want.

This is a generic camera and will work on any vehicle capable of supporting a camera, it's not vehicle specifc. Consult a professional if you can't figure out if it will be compatible or not..

You might consider a DASH CAM, as i believe those have internal batteries that charge while driving, and can still record while parked.

No. This would be good to clip in your pocket to record you confronting vandals. but as far as an outside surveillance camera it wouldn't work.

yes, you can mount inside car on any surface. you have 12v dc and you need a DVR. but beware the lens is not wide angel so you may not get the view you want.

This is not sold as an exterior video camera. That said, if the area is really sheltered from rain (like a porch), it probably would be OK. Really depends on where you live. If you live in a foggy area, I wouldn't use this outside at all. This camera is NOT weather-proofed, so using it outside might void any product guarantee. You can talk OR listen, but not at the same time--I think

Yes, you probably could if you have self stick velcro. The "camera" is very light weight.

No, it is specifically stated that it is not for outdoor use. The best you could do is mount it inside a window with the camera pointing out. According to the Dropcam website they are currently developing one for outdoor use, bit it is not available yet. http://support.dropcam.com/entries/21327217-Outdoor-Dropcam-make-Dropcam-weatherproof

I honestly didn't use it to record and assume it had a window for the camera and would work good. It mounts quite solid and made a 1000 mile trip without issue. Good for the price for sure.

I'm sure it can. But I'm not sure I would want to be rough riding around with it mounted. I'm thinking its a larger camera and heavy.

If you mean a backup camera, yes. Im actually using one in my car. Is awesome.

If it has a screw hole to attach a tripod, you can use this to mount it on your windshield (in California, you can only do this on the track, not the street). The video will be upside-down, so you need software to flip it. How heavy is the camera? I used it for one that weighs 5.6 ounces.

I do not think so, i woul highly recommend getting shades for the windshield. Because once camera gets turned on, it gets hot really quick. I hope that helps.

Nope you don't even have to be in gear for it to work. It is not designed to use as a rear view camera because the camera is not designed to be out in the elements. Plus the camera can't be that far from the receiver, the final reason this wouldn't work is the picture isn't that clear until you get the hitch closer to the receiver.

GoPro Hero action camera would be better suited for that type of application. I use this one with an inside mount (I/O Port) and its fine. GoPro has an assortment of exterior mounting fixtures that should work on the bumper, and the camera is better protected from the elements.

I wouldnt see why not- it merely shows up as a storage device. It comes with software as well, for drivers, ect. to use it as a webcam. For the price, it's quite an incredible camera. I have taken video on my bike at some interesting speeds, and the quality for such a little, inexpensive camera, is amazing!

You probably could but it may need to be leaning against something to stay in position. The "camera" portion does pivot on a ball joint so you could experiment around. At worst, maybe double-sided sticky tape on the mounting bracket part would work.
