    I would love a DIY open source option but I haven’t been able to find cheap available sensors that would survive a hot car.

    Then again if the security really is this bad, maybe you could jailbreak and toss your own firmware on existing cameras. Hmmm

      Use one without connectivity. Or get a microSD to SD adapter and a Wi-Fi-enabled FTP SD card… but I don’t think they make these anymore, much less durable, fast, high-capacity ones. Or get a USB-C microSD reader and keep it in the car if your phone has no free microSD slot.

        I have one that crashes and resets itself a lot. My settings are mainly suggestions. It’s like a windows machine in my car and I hate it. Fucking Thinkware trash.

      Pro tip: many that ship with an SD inside will have the factory firmware and device-specific keys still recoverable on the card (secure erase is too slow for production I guess) so before turning the device on for the first time, remove the card and image it for maximum chance of recovering the FW intact.
