    sounds like it a pedestrian not a car, a car cant key it,
    maybe its some kind of spy camera you need rather than a car camera
    i think the recording with a car camera is on a loop, does it not only capture about 1 hour before it loops, then you loose the previous hour

    Yes your right, but the last two were definitely car damage, good point about the loop, I want it to record for about 6 hours.
    I was hoping to find something that will send a feed to a laptop, but then there is always the danger that if its too good a camera the car might be broken into to steal it.

    I've looked into these little 'hidden' camera's before. I took a look online at the sort of devices available including looking to Maplins.

    There is a reasonable availability and range of products. Of course there's a range of prices too.
    Mostly they are activated by movement within a certain range, i remember some could be set to constant recording though.
    Most of these recorded onto SD card and some could record a very good length of time without any looping.
    Might be worth some research as a lot of the cameras were quite cheap, very small, disguised (hidden camera) and easily installed.

    Food for thought

    I had a look on line and was left confused that's why I asked if any one had any experience of them, thanks for your advice though
