Has anyone used this in the car? I am looking for an inexpensive mobile NVR for car security.

There are a few free apps for Android phones; IPCamViewer, Foscam also has an app, and some others. I have the paid version of IPCamViewer just for some extra features... It's worth it, it's only a few dollars. If you want some awesome DVR software on the cheap, get BlueIris. I have 3 Foscam cams running and recording on it. Hope that helps.

Xtreme sounds great! Nvr tested the rumble, must be new. Only downside to xtreme was its not portable. Needs to be plugged in at all times. It's also pretty heavy but as long as it sounds good I don't care.

I have had excellent results with the CIB DVR, they are priced pretty cheap. They have internet & phone/tablet viewing capability also. Mine was $120 without the SATA Hard Drive, since I already had a hard drive, but they are not much more for one that includes a hard drive pre-installed.

I am unsure of any of these answers. They are all technical questions if you ask me. I have not even used mine yet. It is in the car still wrapped in plastic. Sorry.

The device doesn't drain the battery any more than all the other computer stuff on the car. Yes, if someone can see it if they know to check the computer port (or if the car goes in for service, the technicians plug their computer into the same port). I bought an OBDII Extension Cable from Amazon at the same time and taped over the lights on the device after I installed it. It sends the GPS data whenever it is in cell coverage. I've had it for a couple of years and he hasn't found it yet. And yes, he does cheat on me.

Hi Garry, I just tested-it for you right now (I haven't before). Yes it's pretty amazing! While the GSM network has trouble reaching my mobile phone when I'm in the studio, because of thick walls, I could take remote pictures with Satechi, without a glitch. Had the camera set inside the studio while standing outdoor under a bright sun, at almost 15 meters (50 feet). It went through (depending on the beam direction with I don't know) 3 walls or 2 bay windows. I am surprised by the performance. Thank you for motivating me to test the equipment. The only minus is the fact there is no on/off button on the remote. you need to remove the batteries. Hi Garry, I just tested-it for you right now (I haven't before). Yes it's pretty amazing!

I had to take my car to a nearby garage and get them to unhook it for me, which they did quite graciously. I've watched two people unplug it - they both lay on their backs so they could see under the dash, then pressed the "sweet spot" to release the device. I think it helped that they were both young guys - I'm a middle aged woman and when I tried reaching around the device from the front, I just couldn't exert enough strength in the right spot to release the doggone thing.

Andy, I wondered the same thing. It certainly looks to me like it would need total protection from weather outside. The software is a bit cranky but the camera works. I was hoping it would work looking outside through a window but it doesnt. It just sends a picture of its own refelection. Better suited as a nanny cam or the like than a security cam.

Absolutely, just like anything in life; then it becomes worthless to the end user doesn't it! But you can always use it in your car to make someone think you have an alarm system for theft.

That's what I use mine for. I have a switch in the dash that let's me turn it on any time I want. I don't leave it on constantly, just long enough to check the trailer when I'm towing. I have left it on for a few hours at a time. It worked just fine. I think the camera is pretty tough. Goes thru car washes and Michigan winters with no issues. I rate it pretty high.

This is a mobility detector. If anybody is about 1 meter from the vehicle it will actvate your car alarm system. It is not an alarm system, it is just an additional device to the car alarm system.

It sits quietly behind the rear view mirror, starting recording at start up and ending a minute after shut down on My 89 Buick Reatta. It is there to record what you saw in an objective manner, no he said, she said about it. My ign power is all hidden under headliner and pickup ign power from mirror power, so no cig lighter plug is used. Viewing is done by me, bringing it to the computer and reviewing. Recently I have gotten some video freezes while audio keeps on. So, I guess it's time for another one or another Sony mini SD card. You really can expect a year or so if you get a good one in most cases. I may go to one that is 1080P with a HDMI port for viewing, still less that $100. They're not toys, they are personal insurance. If you should happen to catch a meteor or jet falling from the sky, they make you rich!

I use one in my car.....but sudden stops can send the unit flying. If you could secure it with Velcro on the bottom, that should do the trick. The sound is adequate for a car....but may not be loud enough for some. You might consider buying two, as they will automatically recognize each other and split the Bluetooth signal into Left and Right channels for true stereo.

I would reccomend a G1W Novatek. I have one and for $55 you can't find a better dashcam. Look I up, there's plenty of research and reviews on it.
