Summary
Behnam describes how he originally tried to build a fully automated system using an Android phone as a dashcam/recorder, with WiFi extraction, but encountered overheating, security concerns, and unreliable wireless transfers. He moved to dedicated devices such as a proper dashcam, camera, and audio recorder, and now manually moves SD cards or docks the recorder. SPEAKER_00 and SPEAKER_01 note that this hybrid approach—dedicated capture plus a simple, reliable ingest step—is often better engineering than trying to automate every step. Behnam concludes he is comfortable with the single Mic 3 transmitter and has already ordered cables.
