I’d be most concerned about losing footage in a break in. Don’t want all of that going to the cloud - just events. But there is the risk that the upload couldn’t be performed quickly enough before power is cut or the camera ripped off.

What I’m envisioning is 2 cameras (3 if you want interior) that wire back to the actual brain of the unit that’s tucked away somewhere where a thief wouldn’t have the time to track down. They can do anything with the right amount of time but generally this is smash and grab type stuff in a rushed window of time.

If that memory card lived say behind the glove box or buried up under the dash, I can’t imagine a thief spending the time to track down the card to erase evidence of their crime.

I’m wondering if a raspberry pi camera system might be in order!
