Daka had one. He used to post vids of altercations with sailboats in the Hamble.:hopeless::hopeless:

What’s the brief Piers? Car type one (can heartily recommend Nextbase)?
IP camera to connect to a network for remote viewing? (Friend has two set up on his F43 - can be viewed on his phone and any device with an internet connection - obviously requires his boat to have its own WiFi / internet connection. Very strange whilst I was doing an engine service for him to get a disembodied voice calling “hiya!” through the camera!)
I’ve used our GoPro attached to the radar arch (we have the WiFi enabled one - Hero 4 I think?) but limited recording time.
I have a spare very cheap car dash cam that was free with an insurance policy that I may install at some point.

Good question. It's to record the stupid actipns of others who seem to want to use Play d'eau as a traget. Typically in a marina or a narrow entreance.
