So you just shove it into the trim at the bottom of the windshield. The rear facing camera isn't going to see anything on the Mach-E, just the back of the main screen.

lol good point, I think it's a wide lens, so should at least get driver?

This is the type of lens that would work for security, although this product is discontinued for consumers. Interesting video samples from users plays in the image below.

I ordered one, but I'm worried about the drain on the 12v. I might just try it and see.

Edit: Ok stupid question, I have seen that if the car is plugged in to the charger it also charges the 12v battery, and if it is not plugged in the 12v battery will get power from the main battery. So wouldn't it be unlikely that it would drain the 12v? Maybe I'm reading that wrong.

Let's be very clear here: This is just an open door to all the data on your car and given to Amazon, and you're paying for the privilege.
Right. I just want a camera with the following features:
  • Rechargeable battery using USB-C (no need to worry about 12v drain)
  • 360 view
  • Motion detection
  • SD card slot
Pretty sure this product does not exist. I don't care about footage while driving. I want something akin to Sentry Mode in a Tesla that only needs to run when my car is parked somewhere in public. Ideally, I'd like alerts but that would require a cloud connection. So I'd be fine with just scanning through captured footage if anything happened to the car while I was away.
