Dash Cam With Options
Hey guys,
Looking for advice for dash cam setup for my new to me 2014 E350. Would like some features as listed below.
Are there any cameras that fit the bill? Just started looking but would like something stealthy looking, maybe mounted between housing on windshield and mirror (Distronic housing on windshield).
My main concern is obviously video quality (day/night) but also when parked, having something that would catch someone messing with your car.
Looking for advice for dash cam setup for my new to me 2014 E350. Would like some features as listed below.
- Powered on with car but also has spare battery that'll charge when driving so feature below can work without car battery.
- Parking feature, motion detector using supplied battery.
- Wide angle or panorama (or front/rear facing)

There are no cameras that have a battery built in.
I have the Thinkware F770 and F750 dual cams
(This creates a 360 view with 4 cameras), hardwired on my car battery:
http://www.thinkware.com/Products
It's set to cut off at 12.2v in order to protect the battery. this easily gets me 48hrs of parkmode.
Definitely the best dual cam out there at the moment.
(( NOTE: There's no difference at all between the f770 & f750, other than design. And the f770 has night vision & timelaps parkmode, but this is purely firmware.))
If you do not want to tap into your battery in order to protect it fully,
then u can install a cellink-b.. but they are not cheap at 200 eur/$:

It works with any model camera, though some brands/models will just keep on recording continuously rather than go into parkmode
check out https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/ as well, lots of info!
