[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7421827, member: 576029"] why do you need to record all of the time? why not set to trigger upon an event (movement or sensor)? start by replacing your battery. you have less than 800mA of draw, which will certainly drain a battery, but it should be able to last for several days before dropping below 12V. it's all about the reserve capacity of the battery. i recommend a good AGM battery as you main/starting battery. get the highest Reserve Capacity you can fit in the stock location. from there, i fully support the idea of a few small solar panels. a 5W panel would almost cover your needs, but 10W would be perfect.
