TRX and Hellcat guys need this. Imo outside of a dash cam (for accident reasons) and some type of home security setup if you require something like this it might be time to downgrade vehicles or relocate lol. This would probably be good for those uber/lyft drivers for their protection.

Problem with it is that it plugs into the OBD II port. In the event of a break in, it will get unplugged immediately.

Then make an adapter cable and wire it to any 12V source under the dash. Or, cut the OBD plug off and use the 2 wires for + and -.

From what I understand, it's not that simple. The device gets power from there, but also gets signal to determine whether the vehicle is on or off (so it can go into low-power mode while the vehicle is off).

wonder if has a different notification for when it is disconnected, rather than the normal notification for motion detection. in any event it seems like this would need to be pair with something else for better protection

OBD splitter and hide the connection.

Ring cameras send all footage to the police.
Hope you never speed in your car\truck or do anything that you don't want the police getting live streamed.

Amazon gave Ring videos to police without owners’ permission

The revelation highlights the many ways that police can get footage from Ring doorbells, and how often it happens without consent.

although not true, I am all for it. Even though it would be useless here in CA. small crimes are not being prosecuted and even more serious offenders are being let go because there aren't enough judges and jury, etc - I suppose we must be doing so great here that we want our criminals to come back for seconds and thirds

I like the camera and am using Ring cameras in my house. Also like the way it connects. I just wish therer were other mounting options. Much prefer to mount it behind the rearview mirror so you do not see it. Cable can still be tun to tge port from the top of the windshield down. Maybe when they revise/update…

Trying out new tech can be really fun, and it's great that you're investing in vehicle security. Enjoy testing out the RING Vehicle Security Camera, and I hope it works perfectly for both your truck and your wife's vehicle!

Buddy, you sound an awful lot like a robot. You’d better reply back with something uniquely human or you’re going bye-bye

I have found the cheap "Geeni" cameras, at harbor freight to work a lot better than the high priced ones.

I have cheap ZMODO cameras off Ebay, and they been running 4 years straight with no issues on the outside of the house.. 4 cameras and a DVR for $100. Cheaper and better res than "RING".
