Looking for suggestions. I read the post regarding Dongar’s new Pro model.

https://www.tacoma4g.com/forum/thre...de-dash-cam-adapter-development-updates.7221/

It provides an additional 4 hours of power to the camera when parking. However, it raises some questions…

My reason for the cameras is for accident and theft insurance. I’d like side facing cameras, to capture activity on the right and left.

Because the windows are tinted, I believe it may be better to have exterior cameras. Maybe motorcycle cameras would be an option.

I would prefer a single unit DVR to capture 4 camera angles and auto save for collision or alarm. When parked, motion sensor capturing would be a requirement.

I don’t really see a need for interior cameras, as it would be an unnecessary battery drain.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not sure I have ever seen a 4 channel system and I recently researched cycle video systems as well. The angles are pretty wide on most cameras. Maybe two systems running separately is your best answer.
I installed a 2 channel Red Tiger system in my Gen 4. Easy setup solid unit so far. With its hardwire power supply kit (extra) set to the most conservative "off" at 12.4volts it runs about 4 hrs after I shut off the truck.
More info and full install notes here and I attached a sample video when I hit a vulture at speed. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rG3N6yxoAqSd75GaFIxuu5eBeQjhDzWp8uOzWpIXs0M/edit?usp=sharing
