DashCam Battery Thoughts?

$279? Are you crazy? You haven't even documented the voltage loss to your 12volt using your dash cam and now you're you gonna get scammed out of $300 and have a whole bunch of loose wires cluttering up the inside of your car forevermore?

Please take a more professional approach where you measure how many amp-hours you're losing during your longest security mode sessions and then hardwire in a $20 battery into the car in a way that you don't have wires and boxes visible.

 

Trying to make sense of it all... I've never in my life owned a car that wasn't at least 6 years old... It's a whole different culture, a whole different lifestyle where people lose a huge amount in depreciation value of their vehicle soon as they drive it around for a couple years.

Whereas Gen2 and Gen3 Prius are still holding their value for a decade or more if you keep the mileage down. Used to be Prius owners were super frugal on here.
