can I set this up in my car to record activity outside my vehicle while I'm not in it?

If its attached to a laptop and set to record, but truthfully it would be better to look for a different device for your car.

You should be able to since the wiring needs to be connected to the power and the back-up light wires in the trunk. The camera itself is on the license tag and it is wireless.

Sure you can. The remote is not affected by where you place it in the car. I returned my unit. The sensitivity of the backup sensor was less than desired.

Yes. GPS feature is available if you want to use it and turn it off when you don't want to use it on your recordings.

The camera has an option to program your car's license plate # into it, and have that display as an 'overlay' on the recorded video. Not sure what benefit that provides, but it can be setup that way if you so please.

This is strictly a receiver, it will not record or show data. It is meant to be used as a tool for a program that needs accurate GPS info

Of course this is possible, but in so doing you defeat one of the key features of the device, namely parking mode recording to capture any event that may happen while the vehicle is unattended. It does not draw a great deal of power in this mode. If the vehicle is going to be parked for longer than 8 - 10 hours you can always kill the power manually.

Yes, but let me be clear, it is not a set and forget, recording to local computer is done only when logged into the camera's web page (then it can be set and forget...as long as the page stays open on the computer), the default location is C:\IPCamRecord. This will also work for motion detection (alarm) recording, but again, the web page has to be open to record to local PC / Mac. If you insert an SD card, Motion Detection will record regardless of the web page being up or not. I hope that makes sense.

No, you need a memory card for it to record on. My camera turns off and on automatically with the car.

Does this unit have an internal timer so you can set it up to record while you are gone?

No, just be sure to have a SanDisk micro SD card (or comparable)that is 16 GB. While it is plugged in to your cigarette lighter it will record for up to 16 hours while the car is on, it loops continuously this way and can be removed and pocketed when out of your vehicle. An adapter for the micro SD is advisable if you want to view the recording on your laptop, I've purchase both from Amazon and had success with them hope this is helpful.

Use the motion detection. The camera will stay on, but will not record.Another option, change the wiring of your car:-)

Yes! I have mine set up at an entry door to my house. I get an alert within seconds of motion. Then I can use the app to view the video. At any time you can use the app and see what the camera sees. It's a great investment for peace of mind.

The short answer is No. Why? Well, in order to track your car, the Raspberry Pi has to have some kind of radio link for you to track it. For example, it would need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network or a cellular network in order for you to keep track of its location remotely. You could, however, use this set-up to log your car's location and speed then download the information when you get it back to see where it went.

Playing movies while your driving is not legal and not advisable. If you really wanted too you would have to bypass the Emergency brake wire , and just like you would do if testing the system on this or any other multimedia head unit. Again, don't get caught doing it, you will get a ticket and it's just not safe but only you can be the judge of that.

Nope! You need a cam that has software that can be set to record motion to varying degrees of activity! Hope that helps!
