Dash Cam / Security Cam support. #41

Hello,

I was thinking, it is relatively simple to add Dash - Cam support / Security Cam support:

1.) Add option: Dash Cam ----Enables recording to videos broken by 1GB size or 2GB each. When video hits 1GB size, it creates a new file and continues recording to next file (seamlessly) ----When device is detected near full (or select-able file # limit) app will automatically overwrite oldest file and continue recording until shut off or some external signal (such as unplug from charger)

2.) BONUS for security cam: allow for selectable file save location. Then a network drive can be mounted with good quality Wifi and video is saved remotely on NAS with large storage.

3.) BONUS auto start up upon detection of "dock mode" of power plug. This will allow for reset if power is lost and auto recording.

A comparable 4K quality security camera is like 1000's of dollars, this app would put them out of business! And there are no such high resolution dash cameras.

Love L Camera. Video quality is amazing and it's actually easier to use then the Google camera!

That amount of continuous video would heat up the camera if not melt it. On Nov 11, 2014 6:08 AM, "Liddo-kun" notifications@github.com wrote:

ive used it for 30+ minutes and it was just fine. 30 min is enough to reach thermal equilibrium on such a small camera. ideally best done with display on min brightness or off.
