What's the runtime per charge with the SQ12 camera? How's the nighttime performance -- good enough to identify cars? Asking to ID license plates is probably asking too much -- US plates are too small and reflective and tend to wash out details at night.

Looks like a decent daytime camera, considering the size.
I'm using a pair of Drift Ghost X cameras, front and rear. Excellent values for under $100 each. Good dynamic range even at night, although nothing with a teensy sensor can reliably pick up US license plates. We'll need larger sensors to do that, and those cost a lot more and weigh more.

Not too bad for a camera plus a bunch of accessories (including a waterproof case) that cost me $8 w/ free shipping! Here's a different site for videos that I'm trying. https://peertube.co.uk/videos/watch/...e-605cfcb539c9
