Was a blackvue user for 12 plus years in various different vehicles, decided to get fitcamx for my defender - install is super easy, looks OEM, and a simple app that just works.

 

Yes they do.

 

That’s what I was hopping to hear, thanks. I’ll get the FitcamX, install it, and report back how it works.

How accessible is the memory card? Does the unit need to be unmounted to access it?
You can download the videos through the APP and you don't have to remove the memory card even if it is very simple because you just need to remove it from the side of the unit.

Any ball park estimate as to how many minutes or hours of drive time it's recording for 64GB or 128GB storage cards at 4K (2160p)?
I set the recordings for exactly 5 minutes in the 2560x1440-30 fps format and each video weighs 512MB; the quality (on youtube) is this.



Any conflicts with the Defenders general internal Wi-Fi systems for CarPlay, etc.?
I have never encountered any problems with the iPhone; always connects only to Carplay; to connect to the camera you must manually select its hotspot; if you turn the Defender off and on again the connection returns to carplay by default.

 

I ended up going with Fitcamx, and also due to the insane driving around the DC area. I kept putting it off and then one morning someone was messing with their phone and came within inches of hitting me on a neighborhood street (swerved all the way across the road at me). The fit/finish is excellent and I barely notice it, and for the amount of times it's needed I think it will be fine. You can also pop out the memory card and access recordings that way instead of using the interface.

I purchased the front-only setup. I had front/rear in my last vehicle, but I didn't think it was worth it in the Defender - especially since better / tighter interior means it would be harder to fix the cable to the back.
