Honestly? Look for a local supply company that deals in surveillance. They can help you design precisely what you need though it may cost a pretty penny. Lots of options on the market today for mobile recording.

Also make sure whatever vehicle you put it into has 12v DC available when the key is out of the ignition switch. If it does not, it is not a big deal to switch the 12v power port to 'always on' status by moving the positive side of the circuit to a different power point...usually at the fuse box.

Or make your own wiring harness and access 12v+ by tapping a 12v constant circuit...something like the dome lights circuit. And don't forget to add a fuse!

There definitely are a lot of options!

Problem is that most of the surveillance co’s carry static, installed units. The mobile units are mostly dashcam/back-up cams/close range cams without a stand-alone power pack.

I need to be able to switch from proprietary cameras to cameras with big zooms to tilt/pan/zoom cameras, depending on the individual case/topography. AND to be able to switch it from vehicle to vehicle easily, still maintaining its stealth.

So, what I was hoping for was some information that fits those requirements. It’ll probably be something designed by me, cobbling together pieces and parts from disparate systems.

Thanks for the response, though.
