Adafruit is a my preferred vendor to use for RPi (and Arduino) purchases including all the accessories. Their prices are low and they publish lots of videos and how-to guides to help you use the components.

That would be great, but not sure if one exists. Not sure if you’d have to unplug it from the usb though if the car is off? Thought the USB ports turned off when car was off. I would only need this functionality when I’m home and car is parked. Although it’d be nice if it could be accessible all the time.If you have to unplug it to use the WiFi connection it kind of defeats the whole point. What would be desirable is to have a dual ported device with a WiFi connection to the storage on one port and the USB connection on the other port. Then you could read the storage video from the WiFi connection while they were being written from the USB connection.

Thanks. Very informative. I’m going to try to set it up using your script. I think the Pi is the best tool for what a lot of us are trying to do. I even bought the add on usb board. I’m determined now to get it working. Now if I can only get it set up properly I’ll be happy.Remember, you CAN turn your Pi Zero on at will remotely! Just go into the app and turn the climate control ON. That will turn your rpi on as well, then just log into the web interface, or ssh into the rpi zero w. (assuming you are in a known place that you have wifi on the rpi zero)
For the record as well, I'm still using my scripts and setup here even after the sentry mode update (seems after that software update I had to use the built in script tools to repair the dashcam partition, but then it started recording as expected. Music still working as well as ever too.
I was never able to get your scripts to work. Can you provide an updated step by step procedure to make it work on V9?Remember, you CAN turn your Pi Zero on at will remotely!
