MarksST Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I have a blackvue 650, not cheap but includes a rear view camera and has gps wifi. It has a park mode that if the car is knocked it the camera starts recording. There are loads of different cams on eBay from £20-30, most will be up to the job.

Gary.J Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Unless you have a camera on all 4 sides of the car, you'll not pick up sideswipes or keyings. Plus as mentioned, you need a cam that operates when your car is parked. Someone maliciously scratching the car isn't likely to start it recording, anyway.

MarksST Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 If you get a big enough memory card you can leave it to record all the time. You can adjust the sensitivity of the camera too. Connect the power supply using a power magic unit which turns the camera power off at a set point to save the car battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 If you're looking for something cheap the Mobius is the way to go at around £40. It can match a lot of more expensive cameras in video quality and has a motion sensing mode so I guess that could be used when parked.
