It's the smallest dash cam right now. Smaller than BlackVue's rear camera w/ better video quality than the BlackVue.

I wish they made a 2-channel version of that for front and rear cameras... too bad.

They've been working on a couple of dual channel models which should be available by end of year. One of the dual channel versions uses the smaller remote cameras.

For me, it has to be as undetectable as possible. I don't want a broken window!

Stereo theft has been solved with access codes etc.

Radar detector theft is still an issue, but if they get their act together and add a code to those then that would be become less a problem too.

Having the camera detect an intruder and then be stollen from the car is useless.

Would be nice if you could have a camera that was Wifi connected to cars wifi like a Nest camera. Then if it was stolen at least your video is uploaded to cloud live.

What would the wifi connect to? You'd need a cellular connection , but there's really too much data - multiple gigs per hour recorded.

Interesting how dashcams aren’t that different from each other and unfortunately it appears the vendors aren’t really differentateing themselves via software.
