Caught on camera: Driver flees after hitting Mercedes at carpark



STOMPer Wayne's Mercedes was damaged after another car knocked into it at a carpark. The driver fled, but the entire incident was captured on the STOMPer's car camera.

He managed to locate the culprit's car in the same carpark, but the police have not been able to contact the owner.

The STOMPer said:

"This happened at about 3am this morning (Mar 21).

"The camera in my car filmed the driver of this Toyota Wish hitting my car, then driving away.

"The front bumper, light and Mercedes logo were damaged.

"The back bumper was also damaged because my car shifted backwards from the force of the impact.

"I made a police report, and managed to find the culprit's vehicle in the same carpark.

"The police attempted to contact the owner of the car, but were not successful.

"A witness came forward and said the driver of the Toyota Wish was a woman."

If set the camera to record 24/7, won't it drain the car battery dry?

Can install a seperate battery for the camera also if you want.

 

The wish driver seems to have a problem with the car. When reversing back also like not under control.

Can i assume that in this case, the merc camera is set to record 24/7 until the power magic comes in to cut off the power once the car batt is running dry?

This type of kuku driver shouldn't be on the road. If already know ownself parking lousy,

should have drive to higher floor when there are plenty of parking space available for her

to try her lousy parking.

For cheap solution for driving + parking recorder, all you need is G-sensor for camera and Power magic.

 

With G-sensor, camera auto locks the file when someone knocks into you.

With power magic, it protects your car battery from being depleted by camera and provides continuous power until battery depletes to 11.8V and you can also set timing.

 

With these you don't even need parking mode, which costs more but advantage is it saves file space.

Any camera brand also can record when engine switch off. Just connect it directly to car battery or external power source(SLA battery, Li-poly, Li-ion, Li-Fe batteries). It will record 24/7. Just make sure u have a large enough memory card to view the recordings before it overwrites.
