Retrofitting
Information

Figure 1
Note:

The Porsche front camera (dashcam) is attached to the windscreen to the LEFT of the interior mirror
(viewed in direction of travel  Figure 1).
The rear camera is installed at a specified position on the inside of the top right 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 can be configured
and operated using a related app on your smartphone.
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.
