So I drove a Tesla for three years and fell in love with its ability to record things. I caught some entertaining things over the years, like shooting stars, however the Defender I have coming (2023.5) doesn't have one. I've been wanting something that won't be ugly & obvious, and is a decent way to get things out of. One thing I found was an Echomaster system that has a rear view mirror camera that is a combo camera+DVR for dash cam use. Anyone familiar with these? Good/bad/ugly?

I've read about the LR one, it seems extremely complex to install, and expensive, and an afterthought with limited capabilities. I'd prefer to have one that isn't visible/obvious, and am looking for suggestions. Wish you could record what the cameras themselves put out, they're pretty robust.

 

I'm going to be installing this tonight

That install looks amazingly simple. Looking forward to your thoughts on the install and operations of the camera

 

I installed the Blackvue Dash cam 2 channel like a few others here. Very good 4k video and high quality, unobtrusive hardware. I've been very happy with it.

 

I’ve been using the Fitcamx for a month now. I Just have the front cam which installed in less than 5 minutes. I spent more time cleaning the glass afterward. Picture is great, downloading the vids can be a bit cumbersome if you are using Apple CarPlay. But after the initial few days of checking things out I never download any vids anymore.

The only issue I have is that it stays on if you leave the doors unlocked, which I do in the garage. So I just have to remember to lock the doors. No biggie.

hope this helps

I have the fitcamx in my Polestar2. Haven't hooked up the rear cam yet, but yes they were simple to install. Wish they were a little adjustable, I get more of the dash than I want.

 

The install took all of 5 minutes. The video looks good so far, but I haven't downloaded any to watch on a device other than my phone.

 

How long did it take to be delivered? I ordered one 10 days ago and haven’t heard anything other than their initial thank you email.

 

It took 2-3 weeks

 

Ok. Thanks.
