In-Car Camera System Advice

Live in a high rise in Hoboken NJ and want to monitor my car in the parking garage. Anyone bought one of the in-car systems that works well or knows the systems? I looked and there are a bunch of models. Hoping for something that will provide 360 degrees, motion activated and can record. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have the blackvue 2 channel HD set up in both my cars. I've been very happy with it.

It isn't 360* but can be motion activated i believe and it can send you alerts as well, however i find that feature is annoying as hell and have turned it off. It can also record when the car is parked for a predetermined time period that i have it set to. The camera is also accessible via wifi so you can download the vids to your phone as well.

I have the same blackvue system mentioned above, with two cameras, and I really love it. I installed it myself in like 20 minutes. So easy. I have it connected to a Cellink Battery B for 24 hour monitoring. Everytime you drive the car the battery charges and then when you shut the car off it keeps the cameras running.

While it's true these cameras aren't 360, they are motion activated. I'm just saying if anyone approaches your car they will be recordered.

I got the pearl plate bracket

Just came out a few months ago. It charges via solar and streams the rear view right to my iphone. No messy wiring . Just installed the plate in 5 mins and haven t had too many issues with it yet.

i have a lot of electronics on mine, so i leave it on a trickle charger when it won't be driven for extended periods. You should be fine, but a $75 dollar trickle charger is probably a good investment.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I can't do a trickle charger. I live in a high rise on the Hudson River and my car is in a resident parking garage.
