If you want I can try posting the picture of cam inside the car for you to judge. Might have some recording too.
The cam will overwrite old footage unless it's considered as event, such as heavy bump on road. You can change the sensitivity of this too.
Then if the car is parked, it will turn off recording by itself and when the motion detector detects movement (is someone approaches your car), it will automatically start recording.
When you drive it will start recording again automatically.
It usually comes in a package with power magic pro and you can connect this to your car battery so that it aumatically cut off power to the cam when battery reaches certain set voltage. This is to prevent you draining your battery from continuous recording.

Sounds excellent. I'd love to see some footage and a picture of how discreet this camera looks in the twins!!
Another point that I'm concerned about is the 'bump save' feature or when the camera automatically saves and locks a video clip because of the 'G-Sensor'. It's a feature that I definitely want to use but I fear that the twins' stiff ride will set it off constantly and before I know it the memory card will be full. Is this an issue that you've come across? Does changing the sensitivity help any??
BTW, I'm really aiming for a discreet camera because I've already had two cars stolen from me within a 6 month period. (Don't drive a Honda and live in Saint Paul, MN.) Even though newer cars, such as ours, has theft immobilizer features it sure as hell doesn't stop them from breaking a window because they see something attached to a suction cup on the windshield. Does the Scion FRS have a car alarm if someone were to break a window and open the door from the inside?
