I have got my car broken in twice in 1 year and want to have extra security in my car besides the alarm system. I want to attach a webcam type thing in my car that can wirelessly connect to my wireless internet from my house, so I can monitor or my computer can record anywhere within my wireless connection coverage from the house.
Now, the question is, how do I supply the power to the camera while the engine is off ? Certainly, a cigar lighter socket does not provide any power unless the key is on accessory. Can I directory wire the camera from the car battery with AC/DC power output adjusted, risking my battery loss ? Is there chance that might cause fire while I am away from the car ? Any other better solution ?
Use a completely independant power supply like a sealed lead-acid battery. Perhaps a 7 amp, 12 volt will do the job, be easy to install and hide, and you can recharge it as needed. Look into surveilance kits for the computer and motion activated cameras. I used a Swann motionsensing recorder and night vision camera that Radio Shack sells. It was difficult to make that work and do the job, so shop for something more sophisticated. X-10 has a lot of security products and Swann does too. You get what you pay for.
