How does it work though? How can you record this when your car is parked on the street? Do you need the car to be turned on inorder to record?
I am pretty sure they went over this in the thread, but basically the camera is hard wired and has flash memory. It is constantly recording, but only writes when their is motion or you can set it for a shock setting which then records 5 seconds before and some amount of time after the shock occurs.
