Video Parking Shop Question

I was looking at a video parking shop with Servimer. The directions (at least what I can see before taking the assignment) do not say more about video equipment required other than "both on body and in car." I recognize that my button camera will do just fine as "on body." What do they require for the "in car" video equipment?

In the rare cases where "in car" is ordered, they provide a kit that will fit into the passenger side pocket of your vehicle and will record any theft from the car by the valet. These are only ordered when there is a reason to suspect such theft has been occurring. btw, your button cam may not be best. Because you may need to see over a counter to observe cash handling, or need to capture the attendant while you are seated in the vehicle, eyeglass cams and/or bluetooth (over the ear) can be much better at "following the money." btw, most of their valet shops are not video, btw, except in major metro areas.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.
This one is specifically ordered as video. ($70 for a thirty minute stay is very attractive).
Eyeglass camera... Hmmm..... Maybe I should invest...

MF, be sure that your cam produces HiDef video. Their clients demand it.

MF, if it says both, email for help! That fee sounds like they would want both.

I would suggest borrowing one from the MSC if they have them available. I've done 2 shops with them and both MSCs were able to loan me one. The good ones are no longer made so the price has gotten quite out of hand. I think when they were available they were under $200 a pair and now they're close to 2x that. Unless I have missed something or there's a new product (if so PLEASE someone fill me in).

There are reasons that a body stays in motion
At the moment only demons come to mind
I have sent an inquiry... We'll see what happens.

Scott has a nice set up using the button cam on a diaper bag that can be left on the front seat of the car.
