Hi, thank you for the video, it's super helpful. I'm considering to buy this one for my Ford Mustang Ecoboost Premium with High performance package...
So, from what I saw, I need to fit the rear camera cables over the right passager side to make the picture well-positioned.
What I still need to know is if we have an ability to use our cameras in parking mode when car isn't running. I really appreciate if you can make a quick hint on this, cause we park our car very often at supermarkets, in downtowns and so on. It might be helpful to monitor the situation around as you don't know when an accident can happen, especially when this is hit and run OR monitor any damage by rude people...
Parking mode is available on this camera, but you need to install a separate cable for power to go to the camera at all times. It does say to contact Fitcamx about this cable, so it appears they have the solution for this issue. I also prefer to have a parking mode with my dashcam. You never know what can happen when parked in public. Thanks for watching.
Great video. Thx!! I’m nervous about running the cable for rear-camera. 😂
You are welcome. For the rear camera cable just make a game plan before you do anything. You can also run it low under the sill panels. I ran mine high, but someone had mentioned that it could interfere with the side curtain airbags. Take your time and it will look great when you are done. Thanks for watching.
Why not just connect a rear dash to the adapter in the back
So, thanks for this! I've been wondering about this cam and your video has convinced me. I, too, have a Thinkware that I'm running off the OBD port.
One thing I would have done differently, and I'll be the first to admit it's painful: run the cable for the rear cam through the existing black rubber cable runs.
I am glad I could help. In my opinion, it is a much better camera than the Thinkware. Better designed and executed. I absolutely agree the cable running through the interior pieces in the hatch would look better. Best of luck with your new dash cam.
I saw your video a while back it's very informative thank you, I did installed this cam and about to change the power cable to the fuse box, have you done yours yet?
I have not yet done it. Still debating on it since my wife primarily drives the car now. Others have reported that they have done it and it works as expected. It is a good idea if you park your car and want it monitored when you are away. Thanks for watching.
Just orders the 4K front and 1080 rear for my 22 F150. Also orders the fuse box harness so I can have the parking mode enabled.
Very cool. The parking mode is a great idea too. I always prefer to have the car being monitored when parked. Thanks for watching and good luck with the dash cam.
How did the fuse box installation go, Richard? Where on your truck is the ACC fuse, under hood or in the cab...thx
Tech Motoring.. thanks for showing different options. Why did you decide to change the last camera system you had earlier? How do you like this system?
Hello. The Thinkware setup was nice but a bit clunky. It blocked some of the view out of the windshield, and I had some issues with the OBD power source. It turns out you can't use that particular OBD power solution on EVs and hybrids. I explain that in the beginning of the Thinkware video. I do like the Fitcamx because of it's look, and the app appears to be easier to use. The quality of video is better as well. The only issue is the Fitcamx does not have a parking mode unless you get the hard wire solution that they offer. So you can have parking mode, at the cost of some more wires. I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching.
You’ve convinced me to get this for my Mach-e. I question does the camera display vehicle speed?
Unfortunately due to not having GPS it does not display vehicle speed in the video. It only shows time and date in the video. Thanks for watching , and enjoy the camera.
@@TechMotoring Have they mentioned that they will be coming out with one soon?
I have not heard anything about them releasing that feature. Maybe their next generation dash cam will as I agree it's an important feature to have.
Does the camera stay idle (15min) on when you turn off the car? Or does it shut off when you turn it off?
If you utilize the power from the windshield wiper sensor, then the camera will turn off immediately with the vehicle. If you purchase a hardwire kit which will provide constant power from the fuse box of the car, then the camera can record while parked. It won't record 24/7, but it will record if the vehicle gets bumped hard enough to trigger the camera.
Are you still using the Fitcamx? Did you ever get the hardwire kit to allow parking mode? Any issues there with the battery or error messages from the car? Have you looked at the Viofo A139 Pro? If so - how does the quality compare on the video side?
I am using the Fitcamx still in the Mach-E. I have not yet hard wired it for parking recording. It is currently not on my priority list. No recent issues with the battery messages on my car. Keep in mind that hard wiring it will run the 12v when the car is off, which will drain the battery and potentially trigger battery warnings. I have not reviewed or tested any Viofo products yet.
@@TechMotoring yeah, I was curious if you had enabled parking mode which require the hardwire kit that is why I asked. If not hardwired you would not have any battery warnings either. Was just curious on the video quality between the two units as the HDR on the Viofo looks great as does the picture quality due to the Starvis 2
Have you compared the new Viacom A139 Pro 4K vs the FitCamX from a video clarity standpoint and quality? Video usability test?
I have not yet had the opportunity.
Regarding ( Parking Monitor Collision Detection ) will you have a new video? I don't know if this is possible for a Mach-e?
I t will be nice to have the camera record when you left the car parked and unattended.
Grate video Thank you. I did purchase the camera seeing your video.
You can do it, but you will need to buy the hardwire kit which will require you to run a cable to your fuse box. This will provide power to the camera while the car is off. I haven't decided to do this quite yet. I agree that is a great safety feature to have when the car is unattended. Thanks for watching and enjoy your purchase.
Hi, Is hard to run the cable under the car cover liner? You just shave the cable under the liner at the edge of the liner?
That's what I did. There is enough of a gap in the headliner where that is possible. Thanks for watching.
Question, does the unit talk to you to let you know that it is recording or warning like card full or not found?
I have never heard it make any type of noise. The card should never be full since it overwrites the oldest footage. But that is a good question about if the card is not recording.
Are you still happy with the fitcamx install? Any issues since the install?
I am happy with it. I have had no issues with it. I haven't had a need to pull any footage from it, but I do occasionally check the videos to make sure it's still recording. Overall, I'm satisfied with the camera.
@@TechMotoring I have a Nexar One 4k with interior camera and cellular module so I get notices if it were to come on. Not connected to full time power supply so no sentry mode. Video is great and it has a GPS, but it doesn’t have rear camera solution yet and the thing is huge in my windshield
Nexar is a good brand too. It's a shame they don't have the rear camera support for it.
@@TechMotoring looks like Fitcamx has a version of the single camera that you can get their separate GPS dongle and have GPS, doesn’t appear to work with the two camera version and has to be ordered together
What’s the name of the app? My app from the apple store does not have the options you showed. Mine is called Viidure. Good video, easy install.
The app in the Android store is called Fitcamx. Viidure appears to be the publisher of the app. I am not sure if there is a difference between the apps in the Apple store or Android store. Good question and thanks for watching.
What is the largest storage SD card the unit will take? Greater than 128GB? If so - what brand and type would you recommend?
That's a good question. I am not sure exactly, and I don't see where it specifies the largest size. You may want to reach out to Fitcamx for that answer. As far as brand, just make sure it is a name brand. Some of the cheap cards can go bad after a short while.
@@TechMotoring 256gb according to customer service
Awesome. Thanks for sharing that.
Are there CPL filters to reduce glare available for the front and rear cameras?
@@brianle5020 not that I have seen available from the manufacturer- maybe there are 3rd party ones available
May I ask whats is the max storage SD card I can install inside the FITCAMX?
That's a good question, but unfortunately I do not have an answer. I recommend reaching out to Fitcamx for clarification on that. Keep in mind that the camera will automatically overwrite the oldest footage once the card is full, so you never have to worry about it filling up.
Is there motion sensor recording in park mode available for this?
Yes, you will need to purchase a hard wire kit that will power the camera from the fuse box so it can record when the vehicle is off. Fitcamx also offers this kit.
why not run the rear camera wire through the existing tailgate loom? is there not enough cable for that?
There definitely is enough cable for that. I suppose I took the quicker route doing it this way. I really don't mind the little extra cable hanging out.
@@TechMotoring I just worry about things getting caught on it and I think it could be cleaner running it through the loom
Absolutely agree. I never see the wire because I have that silly cargo cover back there that blocks my view when the hatch is open.
I watched your vídeo and was very helpful. I installed the camera and all works, except that I need to turn off the Bluetooth on my phone, otherwise the camera will not connect with phone.
This causes the car not to connect with phone.
I have not explored a way for both the wifi and the Bluetooth to work simultaneously.
Does anybody have any information?
That's an interesting issue. I have not had that issue with mine. Also keep in mind that you only have to connect to the camera when you are going to download videos. Thanks for watching.
@@TechMotoring meaning, the camera will record no matter if connected to Bluetooth or not. I get it.
Thank you.
Correct. It records to the Micro SD card that is installed in the camera. You can connect to it with your phone when you need to pull video from the camera.
Any issues connecting and with CarPlay? That’s been my issue so far. When it connects it says “disconnecting Apple Car Play”
Most likely if you are connecting to Carplay wirelessly then it would disconnect when connecting to the camera which requires WiFi. It can probably only be connected to one at a time. Most dash cameras work this way. Typically you only need to connect to your dash cam when you need to download videos from it, so hopefully this is not too troublesome for you.
@@TechMotoring ahhh, yes! That makes perfect sense. I went out tonight and turned off CarPlay manually and the app/video started right up and I could see all my driving videos from today. Problem solved. Thanks man!
since you have to connect to wifi for it, does that cause issues with CarPlay since that runs on wifi as well?
You only have to connect to the camera over wifi when you want to view the videos on it. It's not something you have to do every time you get in the car.
@@TechMotoring I did order the 2K camera front and back. I plan on running the wires through the loom on the tailgate hitch assuming there is room for it to make it a bit cleaner. Do you know the max size of SD card that it can handle? I'll probably try to put something larger than 64gb in it. I'd also LOVE to know how to make it record while parked as well. obviously only when motion is detected.
I'm pretty sure it can use a 128GB card, but I am not sure about going larger. It can be set up for parking mode, but it requires a hard wire kit that has to be wired into the fuse box for constant power.
@@TechMotoring do they sell a hard wire kit and instructions on where to wire it?
Yes they do. It's on their website
How I can pull the conector off ?
I assume you mean the connector that's there for the rain sensor. There is a small hole to release the tab that holds the connector in. If you find something small enough to push in there, that should help release the connector.
@@TechMotoring ok thanks
Good luck. Thanks for watching.
Did you figure this out? This doesn’t look straightforward
How do I remove the rain sensor connector? I tried to push a screw in the hole of the part connecting to it but no luck. Any way you can clarify this?
