Anyway, an update:

I just had a police office come by so I could file the official police report for vandalism. He recommended a car alarm of course, but if I didn't want to get one installed, car alarm stickers on the front side windows often deters thieves hahaha. Also good: a blinking red light on the dashboard to look like a car alarm. Thieves often see either one of these or both and just move on. Brilliant!!!!!!

Most of the WiFi cameras use a power cube that is either 5V, 9V or 12V. You could simply snip the power wire and connect it to the car using a DC to DC converter (or voltage regulator).
