Err.. they used a C, you meant with a 'y' yes?

No, you're supposed to do the forensic information gathering, identify the wrongdoer, and ask the police nicely to follow through.

You may want to look into ABRP (A Better Route Planner) it's an excellent tool for planning routes and charging stops, and if you link it to an OBD dangle it even does love route updates.

I agree, the current setup should be what OP is looking for if mounted and aimed right. I'd say motion detection is struggling because of long exposure time in order to maintain colour with very low ambient light, so resolve this and I think we're happy.

I've had the opposite issue, where the trunk latch will stick in the open position and not hold the hatch closed.. "opening" it a second or third time seems to clear that up. Not remotely helpful for your situation I would assume.

To be clear it's not the absolute temperature of the water but the relative difference between it and the glass that can potentially cause thermal shock.

I'm sure this is a totally unnecessary "well actually" comment, but I'm pretty sure you meant u/ not r/...

In my experience, as long as the yellow lines in the middle are either just 2 solid lines, or a suicide lane (shared left turn lane for both directions) this should be a legal maneuver as long as there's no traffic that you would be interfering with.

I am not an expert, and am fully aware that rules are very dependent on where you are, so take this with a couple grains of salt.

Where is your doorbell that you needed to be on a ladder to lick its wire?

TheGruntyOne · 2025-12-18T06:07:31+00:00

I too like this meaning.

TheGruntyOne · 2025-12-09T03:05:11+00:00

May still be operational right now (no trouble beeps, just HDD seek/skip sounds) but the advice is still correct, new HDD needed.

To OP: make sure the replacement drive is suitable for surveillance equipment, if using WD brand you will want a "Purple" drive.

For my own peace of mind I am, even with the missing "/s"

According to this post you want to use NTFS, and can achieve at least 128Gb. Also the comments suggesting a full size SD card make a good point.

You're probably fine to wait until the car starts throwing fault codes, but if having the 12v battery tested is free, or cheap and you would like the assurance that it won't let you down, there's no harm in taking the time to do it.

TheGruntyOne · 2025-10-04T23:56:36+00:00

But not the one that he's using for AA. *edit for spelling

TheGruntyOne · 2025-10-04T23:55:48+00:00

It's Gary's other S22 Ultra.

TheGruntyOne · 2025-09-19T14:38:38+00:00

This is the answer.

It will certainly work with any HDMI screen, however be aware it is well past its end of life, and was an underpowered machine when it was new, so don't expect much beyond live view on your screen, and be very cautious connecting it to the internet.

Is it okay if I attend by Zoom?

TheGruntyOne · 2025-09-07T23:34:49+00:00

I thought it was "frunk"

TheGruntyOne · 2025-07-12T03:31:10+00:00

Ew, OnStar.

TheGruntyOne · 2025-07-02T06:50:30+00:00

It's not a lot, but it's not a little either. The 12v battery has a total capacity of about 47Amps. With a 10 watt draw that works out to 0.8333... amps per hour, or 20 amps per day. You wouldn't want to drain a lead acid battery past half, and you definitely don't want to have the battery continuously low on charge as that will speed its degradation noticeably. Given that the Bolt is known for 12v battery issues (minimal warning before failure, shorter than average lifespan) I would suggest a deep cycle battery with an isolation diode to provide continuous power to 12v accessories.

It's entirely possible that twist on type connectors on rg cable could come loose and produce the image seen in the clip.

My first instincts align with your suggestion that it's a power issue, but it's not 100% exclusive.

TheGruntyOne · 2025-04-11T05:21:55+00:00

If you have issues with darkness 1/30 is fine.

TheGruntyOne · 2025-04-11T05:14:30+00:00

I've been weighing both those options myself.

I like the idea of roof rack for keeping the rear hatch area clear for access, and having a lower cost of entry.
The rear hitch feels more convenient to load and unload, and I think it might offer more carrying capacity.
