Good morning. Short question. If you press the recording button on the housing, the emergency recordings are saved in the length you set in the app (3min, 5min etc.) is my question. Is the time of pressing always the end of the video? Or is it the middle of the video (from 5min setting, 2.30min before pressing and 2.30min after) Unfortunately I haven't seen any reviews of this here on TH-cam. Best regards
I'm thinking about getting this for my Ioniq 5, but I really like having the GPS and speed recording of my current dash cam. I may wait a while and see if they come out with a more advanced version with those features. Otherwise, seems like good video quality and I really like the OEM look. By the way, I recognized those streets - we must live in the same city.
Ha yeah northern dfw area? And you're right. I would love those features and they did mention they would be coming in future models. So fingers crossed? If I get one, I'll post a video.
Just bought this with the companies fuse box kit. You won’t get parking mode unless you hardwire it to the box or obd. The standard one everyone review is easy install but worried about how it could affect the cruise sensor in the long run. Hardwiring it you at least get to tap it off a less essential component and you get the parking mode feature. Website says it will only record major collisions during parking mode and a one minute video that can only delete manually on the app. Battery will never drain since it’s not continuous recording in park mode.
I appreciate the video, but in the future when doing a video installation you should have the camera on the area you are working not a foot or 2 back with a camera on your head. You can't see what you are doing? You're talking about it but you can't actually see what you are doing. :(. From the beginning of the removal of the casing, you used the tool they provided to remove it but you can't see where you are putting it because of you camera angle. Something to think about....
Feedback received for sure. Even when I was watching this, I thought something similar. Ive bought some mounts to get some better angles for videos like this.
Haven't had any issues. Just be aware it doesn't have gps or accelerometer. But for while I'm driving, it's great. Doesn't record all the time, though. Just when powered up. Haven't needed it otherwise. The quality, app, and reliability has been great. And love the look. Forget it's there.
Glad you liked it. Really appreciate and get excited to see comments like yours that justify why I like making videos! Tried to make sure I emphasized the good and mentioned what it doesn't do (cloud, motion detection, always on, etc.). Thanks for the support if you end up getting one! Use the link in my description and the discount code (not just the discount code).
A friend of mine got a FitcamX for his Porsche 911 992 it looks simple as it would have been fitted by Porsche itself. The only problem his facing he can't connect using the FitcamX app on his iPhone but the Dash Cam works it records, plus the Sound itself.
You could also look at it the other way. If you're involved in an accident but the other person's attorney uses your dash cam footage to prove you were speeding, even if only a few miles an hour, it could turn against you. No proof of speed might actually be a good thing.
@@shepshape2585 Actually gps info on the dash camera is not necessary to determine actual speed. It’s easy for the authorities to time the video between two known points giving the distance travelled against the time taken, and they’ve worked out your speed anyway!
I don't have home link in my wind awd w tech. Let me check with others. I don't think it impacts it as it just piggybacks off the power, but doesn't intercept anything. Rain sensing wipers still work.
I would like to get one, but seeing alot of comments elsewhere about it overheating. Tacoma mainly sits in the sun with little to no shade. Live in pa so decently hot summers. Upper 90°F
Interesting. Haven't seen that with mine. Mine is usually garaged but has made it through a summer of driving in Texas but then again I don't go back and check footage very often. I'll update if I see anything like this
I don't understand why it doesn't store the video in clips. In essence if you turn off the engine you lost your video unless you downloaded it to your phone beforehand. :(
My friend's Answer from FITCAMX Support He is not facing the problem you have all his clips are saved onto the SD Micro Card even when the car is turned off they are still on the SD Card which came along with the Dash Cam including the adaptor to use if you want to transfer your clips onto the Computer which I recommend you can always delete the old clips later on. 1. Yes, our dash cam also supports recording sound, you can turn it on in the settings of the APP. 2. Since our dash cam records in a loop, the 'oldest video' you mentioned will be overwritten by the latest video after some time. 3.If you want a certain video not to be overwritten, you can click the 'camera button' on the dash cam during recording to lock it so that the video will not be overwritten. Locked videos will be stored in the 'Locked file'.
@@Emadifications Hopefully they’ll make a RHD version one day but didn’t seem keen when I asked. There are a lot of us here in the UK and other RHD countries that are wanting to buy one.
@@Emadificationsdo you by any chance have a link to the usb-harness for the camera you removed? I’m looking for that solution to avoid the very long cable to the 12v outlet. Thanks, awesome video btw.
so it says it does in the options. When I get home next week, i can double check to see if it actually records while car is parked. I havent checked. I am traveling so will not be near the camera to connect for a few days.
I am having problems: 1. connecting my fitcam camera to the itcam app. 2. The tech support via the app is not working. The tech support app will not send any of my communication emails. 3. I can't register my product for warranty. 4. Are you still in business?
IMO no speed is awesome! Imagine someone ran stop sign and hit you but you were accidentally speeding at the time. Technically it doesn't matter however in court other lawyers can use it against you in some legal twist. All I need is a timestamp (which it does have).
The rear one looks like it should be wired to run to the back of the car and attaches to the rear somewhere just like many others do. So you will have to run the wire back to the car tucked properly. I haven't tried it out but asked them to provide it so I can review it.
I had a neighbor try this camera with his 2022 Accord. While the video quality was good, because the camera connected via the phone’s Wi-Fi, the camera kept cutting out, as his Android Auto would cause the camera to stop recording when it disconnected the Fitcamx wi-fi connection. Essentially, each would terminate the other’s connection, as only one could connect at a time, and each tried to be the one connection. Too bad.
So mine doesn't stop recording when it's not connected to wifi or anything. Android auto didn't interfere either. I haven't had any intermittent issues with it of not recording at all. The only complaint I have is my phone, if wifi is on, will connect automatically to the camera wifi network... But a simple de-select of "connect automatically" solved that problem.
The camera records whether or not it's connected to the phone. The phone app is used to review and save videos/pics that is saved on the camera in the sd card.

Nice camera, decent video quality. The biggest missing feature seems to be GPS to show location, speed, etc.
I gave them that exact feedback. Let's hope they listen
If there’s no parking mode, I’m not buying.
Yes. 7:40

Your car insurance should cover anything that happens to your parked car. Dashcams are primarily for vehicle accidents to help determine fault.
Definitely getting one of these. So many bad drivers out there.

Unfortunately the captured videos don’t show the speed of the car.
Yeah I mentioned that in a fitcam video and gave them feedback that they need a gps and speedometer option on their cams.
Very good video, thank you! I am looking to buy a dash cam this week, and wondering if you’re still loving your fitcamx? Any cons?
Thank you.
Haven't had any issues. Just be aware it doesn't have gps or accelerometer. But for while I'm driving, it's great. Doesn't record all the time, though. Just when powered up. Haven't needed it otherwise. The quality, app, and reliability has been great. And love the look. Forget it's there.
Thanks for the review! The wife just ordered one for her Rav4 Prime using your discount code which actually gave her 10% off not 6!
Ha nice! I forgot they raised it! I hope you like it! This is for watching it and using the code!
Solid review for this cam, thanks for another awesome video. It looks so clean and OEM. I really really need one now.
Yeah appreciate it. I want one for each of my cars now.
Nice review! Thanks. Will look in too it and would gladly use your code.

No gps means you have no proof that you were not speeding 🤷♂️
Yeah that's something I call out that if you want that, look elsewhere.

@@shepshape2585 Yeah! You can’t beat the system 🤣🤣
Got mine yesterday, not installed yet. Great video.
Thanks! It's a good product. Some room for improvement but that would raise cost. Love it so far.
What frame rate does it shoot at? Does frame rate go up if you lower resolution?
Good cam, but I personally miss GPS and possibility to lock videos not only by G-sensor, but by pressing the button.
I've emailed them similar feedback over and over. I hope they incorporate it into future launches.
I camt tell but if i choose the front and rear verson. Does the front camera integrate like the 4k model or its a separate camera?
@Emadifications I use an AAwireless dongle in my ev6, which connects via WiFi. Do you think Fitcamx's WiFi could interfere with that connection?
I've used both and had no issues. But to stream your camera, you'll need to connect to it's wifi.
Thank you 😊
When installed, do you lose the HomeLink function and as well as the rain sensing wipers?
I don't have home link in my wind awd w tech. Let me check with others. I don't think it impacts it as it just piggybacks off the power, but doesn't intercept anything. Rain sensing wipers still work.

Mine doesn't delete them when I turn it off. It only deleted them when it loop records over them
I have a question for you. Why does the camera keep on cutting off? Is it because you cannot operate the camera and Apple CarPlay at the same time?
Cutting off? Mine doesn't when I use anything like apple Carplay or Android auto
Neither does mine. I just got mine installed but so far it works while Android Auto is working.
I wanted this for my EV6 BUT they don’t do a RHD version. (UK). 😢
Yeah I just learned this! I was not aware they would be different. I'm updating my description . Thanks for the info!
@@Emadifications Hopefully they’ll make a RHD version one day but didn’t seem keen when I asked. There are a lot of us here in the UK and other RHD countries that are wanting to buy one.
I just discovered this Cam. On the order page it asks for LHD or RHD. It is available for both for my car.
@@chills996
Thanks for the video - what settings have you decided to keep on the app? 4K resolution, sound on, sentry on, etc? Thanks so much!!!
Yes I do 4k and sound on. I think I have sentry mode on but not positive on how well it works. I need to go back and look at my footage to see.
Thanks for that! I'm wondering if sentry will affect the 12v battery...let me know what you find, thank you

@@nessviggo yeah I have a video on it on my YT. Let me find it.
@nessviggo it's called Dongar. I have a video on it in my ev6 playlist.
th-cam.com/video/B8rFJFNbbks/w-d-xo.htmlsi=r1JLQYLtDi8tZO8i
Do you know how long it record for?
It loops on the SD card so technically as long as you want?
Battery drain when parked is the only concern.
It uses the power from the rear view mirror harness. So that loses power when you turn off the car. Shouldn't be an issue.
then how does the parking mode operate? generally the dash cams are hard wired to run when parked..@@Emadifications
You link shows unavailable
My life should take you to their website and then you use my code as well. It shows me that the ev6 stuff is in stock. What are you seeing?
The amazon link is showing product unavailable!
But fitcamx link is working but it’s $400. So much more than amazon price.
Try it now. I updated the link.
Or try this link. And make sure you pick the configuration (front, front and rear, etc.)
