Just to follow up for future google searches, I tried: Garmin Dash Cam Mini but it was always on and not motion activated, despite what their marketing claims. THINKWARE U1000 but it also was always on. The software is super screwy, the app is horrible, and the camera itself has a voice that...

@stopcrazypp thanks for the additional pointers. I'm very fortunate to have no real budget but exceeding say $1,000 for the cam+battery wouldn't make sense from a repair/replace vs detect. I'll keep looking for battery powered wi-fi optional security cams. That one you linked fakespottedd with...

We need to use a USB / car battery that's rated for higher temperatures to avoid battery swelling, leakage, or fires. 12V LiFePo4 is what's usually recommended. Frankly I don't want to risk burning down a $50,000 car (and everything nearby) with a $200 Li-ion battery. Hopefully the ones designed...

I appreciate the continued discussion and suggestions. Thank you all. My condo's garage situation is very secure from a break-in perspective, but the layout of the garage and the tight spaces and corners mean my M3 is at great risk of getting swiped, dinged, or bumped. Existing security cameras...

Thank you all for the additional input!

Thanks! I appreciate your suggestion. Unfortunately the wifi in the garage is spotty and unreliable. I'd rather not have to also setup storage and constant wifi communication to my home. That's how I ended up on dashcams rather than wifi security cams, though a battery powered spy cam over the...

Could anyone recommend a third party dashcam with parking mode and a long duration battery? (Or battery pack.) i.e. a way to record incidents during many days parked. I park in a shared garage with tight spots and the risk of someone dinging my car is high. We're all happily wealthy here but...

This post from @jcanoe saved me so much time and effort determining what USB / flash drive storage I need for sentry mode, thank you.

This was a great post, thank you.

I spoke with a rep at the SC and she kindly explained how the delivery queue works. I didn't see this elsewhere in the forum so I thought I'd share. I live in San Francisco, CA and I'm waiting for my M3 LR that I ordered back in June, over 6 weeks ago. The original delivery estimate was 8-12...
