This looks great, is there any reason why it cannot easily be fitted to

No reason why not although getting an ignition switched power feed might be
trickier.

Most cig lighter sockets are ignition switched

If your car has a socket in the boot (one you'd probably use for a rear
facing camera), you may well find that it's always live. Mine certainly
is.

I like my camera to run 24/7. Accidents do happen to parked cars, so I
am glad the socket is not switched.

If they run 24/7, depending on the size of the card (which is limited in
some cases)You will probably have some problems as they write over when
full and when you get to stop camera you may have lost the bit you want,
that is apart from viewing in real time the whole thing,not knowing when
anything happened

It would be nice if the one on the boot was switched, as I have a 240v
inverter (actually a modified UPS). The drain on the car battery would
significant if I should accidently leave it on.
