Information

Figure 1
Note:

The Porsche front camera (dashcam) is attached to the windshield to the LEFT of the interior mirror / rain
sensor (viewed in direction of travel  Figure 1).
The rear camera is installed at a specified position on the inside of the top center of the rear window
(viewed in direction of travel).
Both cameras are connected to the vehicle electrical system.
They are ideal for making video recordings of driving situations and while parking. They are configured
and operated using a corresponding smartphone app.
Recorded videos are stored on the supplied SD card and previous recordings are overwritten.
If the dashcam detects a shake/vibration or if the radar sensor is triggered, the recorded video is stored
separately and not overwritten. Recordings can be downloaded directly from the SD card or via the app.
