    Hi all,

    I've seen some videos of the sentry mode that Tesla's have and how it's helped catch some car wreckers in the act.

    Personally I think the system is genius and should be in all cars.

    I'm getting a new car soon (non tesla) and was thinking of getting a something similar to sentry mode fitted.

    There's a lot of dash cams out there but I'd like something that works when the car is off as well. Ideally I'd like something that has multiple cameras that can see front, back and maybe sides or interior.

    I know systems like this can get pretty expensive, so if anyone can recommend any budget or mid range systems then I'd appreciate it. I'm happy enough fitting the system myself, so can save some money there

    Next base have plug in to cover front, rear and interior.
    Adding this sides will be tricky?
    How will you mount them and where?

    Here’s a retrofit article

    It’s Tesla based but the company have said they have done countless other cars.
