I needs it to be pretty unnoticeable and easy to move for when I get in the car and put the top down.

Link to a specific unit?

Untoticeable? Why so soft? I'd have the ****************er mounted so everyone could see it. I'd mount that ****************er to a toilet plunger. Oh, yeah. You'd know I was taping your ass.

Rear window? I'd buy a legit looking camera... and a few fakes. I wouldn't be ****************ing around if someone is being a dick when parking next to my rides.

I mounted a solid-fake camera in my carport, above my storage cubby... including the "wires" to add further legitimacy. Parkers on each side are like angels now. I told my neighbor if he get's any closer than the inch he parks next to the wall... I'm getting him a ribbon.

I'm sure he's given it considerable though and decided, for whatever reason, it's best in his situation to keep it covert.

As a deterrent, it's best to have cameras visible. If you want to actually catch someone in the act, covert cameras are best.

Bingo! I can't exactly accuse a person of doing something that I never caught them in the act of doing. Once caught, it will end.

Anyways, been looking around. I think I'm going to go with a full blown 2 channel system. One front camera and one rear camera. Seems like a good idea to have a dash cam setup anyways.

This setup has my fancy. The rear camera could be easily angled to watch that rear finder by mounting it on the roll bar area and not be noticeable.

Nice choice. Bit pricey for my taste, though. I guess it's worth it if it does everything you need.

Best wishes and let us know how it goes!
