Security camera for my car

Someone will have the perfect answer to this question!

We are moving to San Antonio and will make several stops one our drive from PA. I'm looking for a security camera I can put in the car at night. It must:

- Have a motion detector feature
- Night vision
- Push notification to my smart phone
- Wireless without need for a router in the car (not sure what to call this but it can communicate with my iphone without a password connection to my wifi)
- Either battery or 12v power
- Small and easy to move and conceal with high resolution video

Anything else? I think you get the gist, any suggestions?

Aren't there power converters available? Run it off the car battery or a battery pack?

His post wasn't clear on what's going on with wifi. If the car is parked near the house, pick up the wifi from the house.

But idk. Tech isn't my thing! I just saw that camera a few weeks ago and it seemed pretty cool

DropCam FAQ says it will not work for his appl.


The BlackVue device says it has a mode where it will only record when movement is detected - but I'm not clear on if that is movement in the image, or movement of the device itself (i.e. the car)?
