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?

    A phone is easier to resell than a dashcam I’d say, so maybe that’s better.

    Also indeed heat inside the car could be a huge problem depending on where you live and if you have access to a shaded parking.

    For a 1st test you could simply record the camera without streaming with the app and see how long that goes.
