    Hello, I just bought a Tacoma and Im curious what camera would you use from "inside" the truck that would act as security device?

    lets say im out in the city or backpacking for a few days, id need something that's

    1. battery operated
    2. motion activated with unlimited icloud storage ( or at least 1 week of storage)
    3. bonus: gps tracking ( I have a gps "tile" hidden for now) … that's my next question, whats the best gps tracking that's not too expensive and 1-2 minute updates but perhaps I should add that thread in the generation specific forum.

    should I look at a front/rear dash cam that has gps and memory card? but if its a memory card and this is stolen, then that defeats the purpose.

    I need some guidance. thanks

    Hook an old cell phone up secretly that is on a charger. So you can log on and track it

    Not sure how the go pro would work as that would run out of juice a few hours in.

    Old cell phone has no service nor gps I’d imagine

    Interesting thoughts though

    this does 1 and 2, not sure if it has GPS though. I have the non-cell network versions and they are great for keeping tabs on the house.
