Ring Car Cam for vehicles without ODB ports

I am eagerly looking forward to this product. Is it possible to use in older vehicles with no ODB Port?I currently use a similar setup with Black Vue and while their hardware is great, their software is painful from a user experience.Would also like to know if more mounting options will be available? I prefer to mount to glass or the roof as opposed to the top of the dash. In both my vehicles I mount one camera behind the rear view mirror and the other, either just above or below.Your product is much slicker, but too "indiscreet" as currently shown. Curious what happens when a thief just rips it off the dash? Maybe future iterations could be designed within an actual rear view mirror!

    Hi @Mondy. The Car Cam must be plugged into your vehicle’s OBD-II port for power, and it is designed to be installed on the dashboard. This is because the Car Cam has two wide-angle cameras with night vision, one road-facing to capture detailed driving footage, and one cabin-facing in case of break-ins. There are no other mounting or power options at this time. Thanks for your feedback!

      I am currently using the Car Cam without hijacking my OBD port. I use an OBD2 vehicle ECU emergency power supply cable with a OBD female connector that is hard wired to my vehicles battery.
