I was thinking of buying an unlimited data plan and using an old phone to record around my car through an app.
Problem is the power source, how big of a battery do I need to keep in my car?
Like… can I just use one of the regular travel chargers and like switch it out wit another daily or? Would it last a day?
Like how big does it have to be for a week then?
If internal combustion engine and run the car infrequently, get a golf cart battery and mount it securely. The weight of that is like a hefty little toddler.
What… I can’t have that thing there. How much battery does a camera flipping need for like a day? I doubt it even records 24/7
Actually I forgot golf cart batteries are typically 6 volts, so you’d probably need two lol. It’s more useful if you don’t drive the car every day/don’t want to run down the engine battery.
I haven’t done this in a long time myself. You’d want to wire the batteries to the engine battery. Then set it in the back somewhere, not above the gas tank if possible, mounted as in firmly set where it can’t fall over.
It would definitely be a little project.
Where do I mount it? How is that different from wiring it to the car battery? How would the golf cart battery get charged?
