In-car camera surveillance

I'm looking for a surveillance system for my C class. Specifically, I'm seeking a system with motion-detector sensors that would activate a camera to take shots of the surroundings when someone touches the car. Lately someone has scratched my car and I can not absolutely tolerate a 2nd incident of such.

Thanks for your advise.

The factory makes interior motion sensors for the C class. It is a device that mounts in the headliner like a dome light. It detects motion and sets off the car alarm system.

It is a bit of a job to install, but it works. There is a thread that has part numbers, and install tips.

The motion sensor will work with the car windows open only. It is useless if some scratches you car.

Wow

Cool idea if you find such a system for cheap let us all know. I have had similar incidents with a few of my cars, which i find completely unacceptanble.

One side note. I found some scratches on a mustang i used to own. turned out it was a neighborhood stray cat that like sitting on the warm hood. GL
