Finally! A dashcam made for Corvette owners! OwlCam!
I have been looking for months for a dashcam for the car, but I wanted one that would also provide security at the same time. It also needed to have 4G/LTE so I could monitor it at any time....I could not find one.....until the Owlcam came along!
It is pretty expensive at 349.99, but it comes with the first year of LTE for free.
It was extremely easy to install...It comes with multiple sizes of "Wedge Arm mounts" which wedge between the dash and the windshield and then it it stabilized by a suction cup. A very ingenious concept and it works great!
Power is delivered to the camera via the OBD2 port...It has a special sensor in the connector that ensures that the camera will not drain your battery....Another great idea!
The small wire is run between the windshield and the dash and Owlcam provides a "tuck" tool to help wedge the wire. I then ran the wire down the A pillar, tucking the wire as I ran it. Install only took about 10 min!
The outside camera is 1440p and the inside facing camera is 720p
Here is what the views look like..
Here is a sample video I took over the weekend as someone cut across lanes in front of me....
So far the camera is working great! The live motion alerts and the 24/7 monitoring are a great security features and offer a lot of peace of mind while the car is parked somewhere else besides home.
There is a ton more info on the owlcam website. They even will replace the camera for free if it is stolen....

I'm looking for something like this so I can keep an eye out for my car when I park it somewhere I cant see it with my own two eyes...
Is it basically unlimited range remote monitoring? If it detects motion near the car it sends your phone a picture or video?
How much is it per year after the first year?
Also, is your car a coupe or convertible, and if its a coupe is that one of those sweet waterfalls between the seats, and if so, how secure is that thing does it move around on you?
And finally, you... will... tell... me... where zee plans are! (OK ignore the last question)
I'm looking for something like this so I can keep an eye out for my car when I park it somewhere I cant see it with my own two eyes...Yes...this is exactly what it can do.
Is it basically unlimited range remote monitoring? Yes it sure is. If it detects motion near the car it sends your phone a picture or video? Yes it does
How much is it per year after the first year? 99.00
Also, is your car a coupe or convertible, and if its a coupe is that one of those sweet waterfalls between the seats, and if so, how secure is that thing does it move around on you? My car is a Coupe. Yes...that is a Scorpion Fiberglass creations custom coupe waterfall. It does not move at all..
And finally, you... will... tell... me... where zee plans are! (OK ignore the last question)
I will let you know as I have a Dashlogic device that I want to run simultaneouly with the Owlcam...I ordered the splitter and I should have it tomorrow...

Great question! I just sent a message to them about it. Once I get the answer I will post here..

I just spoke to a tech support person at Owl. He said they will offer an "accessory kit" for purchase soon, that will provide an extra cable, mounts and OBDII connector to allow easy movement from vehicle to vehicle.
Good answer! I just ordered the camera based on that. BTW, he said they're selling a boatload of these things and struggling to keep up with demand. It's a new start-up company by a bunch of techie types, and this is their very first product.
Could you not set up your phone as a hotspot, and connect the device to your phone... since your paying for mobile data anyways? how many hours does it keep on the device?
