I am really confused. I am looking for a surveillance camera that I can mount in my car so it can video who is around my car and perhaps vandalizing it. I have tinted windows and thought this could be mounted on the car ceiling. I am confused as how to...

This camera is NOT A WIRELESS REMOTE camera. HARD-WIRED. You want something that is WIRELESS. I purchased this one for ALMOST the same reason and I ordered it too quickly, which I normally do not do. I am a Computer geek, so I kicked myself a lot when I opened the box. I wanted to place it on the security light outside my garage door, but it is hard-wired, which cannot be used in a car UNLESS you have a router in your car ;-) I would suggest a wireless FOSCAM, which seems like it would suit your needs exactly. You can set it up on your router first with its own IP address (easy to do, if you want to continue to email me, I will help you thru it) and THEN it will operate from your car REMOTELY. If you have a smart phone or tablet (tablet is what I use) there are free apps that will allow you to watch your car remotely from your camera. If you have a home network, you can then record any movement around your car (the camera will depend on what options come with it such as night vision and motion detection). Email me again if you need help at all. This particular model, I had to send back as it was hard-wired only, which means you would have had to run an RJ-45 cable from the camera to a router for video feedback. THIS WOULD NOT WORK FOR YOU ;-) To get a GOOD wireless remote camera, will take some research on your part, but I would suggest the Foscam or the Lorex, and depending how far your car is to your door or your wireless router, will depend on what model you purchase. I hope I have helped you. I learned the hard way, too, so do not be discouraged. Look around for the best deals. Amazon and Newegg both have some great camera deals for what you are looking for......Sherry

It comes with double sided tape, but I don't think that will be a good long term solution I used that to test the location I wanted to go with. I have it mounted above the license plate on a truck bumper I used screws on some plastic trim that was above the license plate holder on the bumper. You could get a license plate frame and mount the camera to that to avoid any vehicle modification. You will have to run the wiring back into the interior of the vehicle but I was able to find and use and existing wiring pas through.

Mine is not the one pictured here but that is the right middle number. Even when I have told people it has a camera they are not positive where it is located on it. All you see is a small hole that could be for anything. Low light it is possible to see but not good. It does not have night vision so you would need to set up lighting. I have a motion light in one area and for another I have night vision light in the other. As for recording. Any security dvr will work fine, you just need to keep it hidden where you know ppl are not going to look. Most dvrs require a monitor. But after it is setup you can remove monitor and just use a smart phone or computer terminal. Choose a dvr you can get answers on for setting up. They can be hard even for a techy

It will be perfect for that. Unlike other cameras where you cannot use it for surveillance because a human will see the read light when it takes a picture, this one does not show the red light,... yet takes good pix at night. So that is why I bought the cameras...because it is good for surveillance.

You can mount it anywhere you want, You will need a path to run the wiring from the monitor to the camera. Power needs to be provided under the dash or under the hood. The power is provided to camera through the cabling coming from the monitor.

We had the same problem. We had it mounted to the back license plate. We emailed the company and they sent a new one. The issue is the camera is not sealed for protection from the weather. We installed the newer one inside the vehicle (above our lift gate). It doesn't work as well; but it does work because it is away from the weather. Would not have purchased again. We would have bought a better brand model that was "sealed".

Much like a GPS unit, you can use the suction cup mount to attach it to the dash. I'm not sure if this unit comes with it, but most GPS units come with a small, plastic piece that adheres to your dash. That's where the suction cup attaches. With that said, I'm not sure how well it will work on the dash. My camera is mounted to the windshield and I'm not sure if it would record very well mounted to the dash.

Since this is a hard wired device, it has to be have a wire from the camera to a display monitor in the car. You can do it yourself, or ask your mechanic.

Linda - It's a pocket camera with a high quality lens. I take pictures of cars at car shows and they look good blown up to 12 x 18" on my large screen. Like 2 1/4 images used to look in the film days. If you're going to use it for adventure pictures in inaccessible places, I'd recommend it. If you need to use an SLR for your material, I wouldn't recommend this. Here in the Los Angeles area, I'd go to a professional quality store like SAMY's and ask their advice on what's the best one for the type of work one has in mind. steveg ayyat abrazosdata dyotte cyomme. Could send a sample picture and direct you to my online galleries with lots of examples taken with this camera, though rezzed down.

I just figured out I did not answer your question. I have not tried it from inside a building while my camera is outside? I figure it would work through a window? Sorry for the useless response.

This camera is small, but would have to be modified to work in this situation. It has a mounting bracket that is made to be screwed down to a surface, like wood or plastic. This camera requires a constant 12v power source, and you would have to build/buy a 12v battery pack. I would recommend another product for a camera that is worn...they make security cameras that are hidden inside buttons, eye glasses, hats, etc.

Hi vt. This unit does not contain any security features like that. It is not designed for application in an environment where someone has anti-cam technology. It is a hidden camera that is not detectable by the human eye or by handling the unit. It does not safeguard against detection technology.

Hello Mubarak, You can connect any surveillance camera as long as the camera video connection is BNC. If the video camera connection is RCA, you would need an adapter to convert the RCA into BNC. Thank you, Eagletec

when you buy the camera make sure it says ''infrared'' for if it dose it should have a category of pic or video. If it dosebuy it.it will take video clips at night when the motion detector is triggered. If your using it for surveillance add more cammo nettingto the camera to break up image. Use rubber cement to attach extra cammo netting. Drill a hole in the back and attach it to tree with a power tool.it works! tauz
