As we all know sometimes we need to leave our pride and joy out in the open (car parks etc) only for inbreds to come and try and ruin our day by damaging our cars etc, I for one have been a victim of this type of mind numbing stupidity a few times now.
Each of these times the police have done nothing to recitfy the problem or to find out who did it in the first place, even if there is CCTV footage of the incident.
As most public CCTV camera's are owned by the council or a 3rd party secuirty company by the time you have requested footage its either too late or they just cant be bothered to get it for you.
So i have decided in addition to my Clifford Alram with warn away zone, tilt sensor and shock sensor I have put a motion dection camera inside my Supra, this will only start recording when it senses movement in the field of vision, It has a fish eye lens which means it sees around 85% of all the glass in the car from where its currently postioned (and the only way you can get to my car is from the front) so if someone was to come and damage my car i should be able to capture his car (if he hit me) face and or clothing build etc.
Now the police probably wont do anything even if i got footage of an incident but at least i know who i will need to look out for!!
Here is a clip of the inside of the car (its pretty unintresting but you will see how it activates remains recording for 2 mins) it also records sound the time and date which is useful too.

The highest resolution is 720p and when triggered the camera will film for 2 minutes (this can be extended to 5 and 10 mins as well i felt 2 mins is good enough) the unit also boasts a very low level light feature (a little grainy) but its good if you are parked in a lit car park (not so good in pitch black but still something is better than nothing).
Now all i need to do is find my weights equipment and beef up a bit
