I've decided...

...when I get my truck redone, & make it look nice, I'm going to take a mini-PC with very small power draw, hook 3-4 micro webcams to it, & install it in my vehicle recording while it's parked overnight, etc. I'm surprised I haven't seen anything like this go large scale as of yet...would be a nice thing to have for those that have really nice stereo's...

IF someone did something like this mainstream, would anyone purchase it? I was thinking wide lense cameras on the inside on the opposite side of where they're facing (left side facing right side, & opposite), one to front, & one to rear/trunk. Making something small enough like that but wouldn't be noticed would be a tough challenge, but interesting...

That's a lot of information to record to a HD depending on quality so there might be your limitation in getting something like that going, i don't know anything on what capacity they require for any given time frame.

I honestly have no idea either, it's a nice concept, just have to make it feasable. But I mean, if a single HD camera can record 3-6 hours on a small battery pack, using a large battery with multiple ones should allow minimum 12+ hour recording times.

but if your car gets jacked then what lol all the footage is lost, unless your streaming it to a computer else where

If you were to do that, the best way I could think of would be to have a wifi signal strong enough to reach where you park, and have it stream to a computer inside your house with a fuck ton of storage. Better security for the footage that could help get some scumbag who steals equipment caught. Just my .02

That's actually the idea I was playing with. I live in an apartment complex, but set up a secure network with an antenna outside that the computer automatically connects to and syncs up with. That way, if someone steals the truck/any equipment, it has the video right there. There's a way to do it, just have to make it a nice cost-effective setup...

You could always use a home surveillance system like nightowl. 500gb hdd and 4 cams just a matter of powering it which shouldn't be difficult and it has wifi so you can view it over the internet or from most smartphones. I figure this way would take less time to think about.
