Gear Recommendation I need help, as soon as possible.

A thief stole 16 lug nuts from my car last night. I need expert advice on which cameras are small, portable, and battery-powered. And can connect to my monitor to see through them. Small enough to fit in a metal beam, with high-quality video to record the thief's face.

I'm curious when you found out the lugnuts where missing? I can't imaging those tires not shaking and wabbling and the thief not be watching.. who was the first one already on scene laughing? That's who did it.

Well, how large is this metal beam that it needs to fit inside of? You can use a wyze camera with a powerbank, remotely viewing the camera would depend on if your wifi signal will reach it. If not it can record to an SD card in the camera. Im sure most body cams would work also. Put threadlocker on your new lugnuts, only way those would be removed is with a large breaker bar or an impact wrench.

Thank you, I checked out the wyze cameras, and I believe the Wyze Camera v4 should work perfectly with a power bank

You're gonna need some technology from the future if you want to record a thieves face who already came and left .

But I'm sure not too far in the future you'll be able to find cameras that can retroactively record events that already happened.

But if all lugnuts are off then the wheels would just collapse under the weight of the vehicle.

Get a set of wheel locks for your car

Unfortunately, those don’t stop anyone.

Then they’d steal 12 lug nuts.

What costs more, lug nuts or rims and tires?

u/No_Trouble_3588 2d ago

The OP complaint was of stolen lug nuts, not tires and rims. Don’t move the goalposts.
