New Porsche Dashcam Gen 2

[Wivenhoe]

Porsche has launched a new Dashcam Gen 2. It’s available in December and I’m now thinking that is why they have delayed issuing the installation instructions until December.

It does seem to be a major improvement over the current cameras - you can run it through My Porsche for instance - https://shop.porschedowntowntoronto.com/products/dashcam-gen-2

Highlights at a glance:
• Automatic recording of traffic and parking events,
• Multi-perspective camera system for comprehensive coverage of the vehicle’s surroundings, QHD with HDR and polarization filter,
• 64 GB of storage included, expandable up to 512 GB,
• Automatic recording of relevant driving situations thanks to a G-sensor and radar, supported by GPS data,
• Discreet integration below the rearview mirror,
• Easy integration with the My Porsche app,
• Illuminated “PORSCHE” logo.

It will be available in the UK as Porsche Newcastle are advertising it -

Clunky as ever. Porsche should be really ashamed. Come on, it’s an important functionality. Why can’t we use build in cameras?

Looks awful.
I wander if my FitcamX bought for Taycan will fit the Cayenne. I guess it does. All new Porsche (Panamera 971, 911 992, Taycan, Macan EV) uses the same physical form factor which suits under mirror as factory mounted. However - it’s not integrated on software side and an app is difficult to use.
Btw Porsche should follow Chinese here and integrate it with its cars.

Or Tesla, works great and it’s funny for those who like 2001 and approach car.

Tesla’s architecture is an issue here - leave Tesla with sentry mode on for couple of days
But the level of integration is top notch.

Did not know, just approached Tesla once and sentry was kind of cool. Cameras saved friend a lot of money and hassle in accident, so yes, Tesla works. Scaffolding truck hit me during COVID, no camera, insurance agreed on 50:50 although clearly not my fault. Guess I have to go for Porsche dashcam
