Hi I have had my car wing mirror been damaged several times wiper missing etc.
I'm after a CCTV camera for my car, but a camera that looks discreet but I don't want to spend a lot.

Thank you in advance.

I have a little camera that can be used as a dashcam that I am reinstalling on my new (used) truck. Your main issues will be battery power and storage space.

Secondarily, what will you do with the footage? You see some guy in a red sweatshirt walk by and pull off your wiper blade. Unlikely it would be anything actionable.

Thirdly, coverage. To cover the whole front of the car, wing mirrors AND wiper blades on both sides, would require more than one camera.
Unless maybe you mounted it on the back 'what is that thing called'.....deck shelf space.

Lastly, you have to remember to turn it on ALWAYS. Couple years ago, I was in a major car crash. The cam was mounted to the dashboard, but I had neglected to turn it on that afternoon.
The one time you really need it...it's off...:(
