    I just installed my camera in a chevy 2024 3500hd and yes the hardest part is putting the new one on. I ordered it on February 1st and received it February 9th. The customer help to get the right one was great through emails. The only thing I wish it did was to be able to zoom in and out on the picture.

    I live in Germany and ordered my FITCAMX for my 2023 Hyundai Tucson NLine from Amazon. Delivery took only 7 days. I installed it today within 10 minutes without any problems. I also ordered the matching polarising lens, which is simply stuck over the camera lens using the 3M adhesive tape already attached to the lens. This prevents the dashboard from reflecting and is also very good when driving against the sun to avoid glare. I love the OEM look.

    Does the camera save a file on impact?

    • @AdventureRocks
      @AdventureRocks  9 місяців тому

      Basically it's recording anytime truck is running by default. Depending on the memory card size used, it'll keep recording me footage till it runs out of space and then it'll overwrite the oldest footage first. So if there's a car crash it'll automatically have been recording everything prior, just like normal. You can then remove the memory card and transfer to a computer or phone just like a digital camera...store/save the file for safe keeping. So as long as you keep a memory card in the camera it'll always be recording automatically when truck is on.

  • @thepiecesfit5049
    @thepiecesfit5049 8 місяців тому +1

    The camera is great the rest of the system could use some work. Connecting to the camera requires turning off your cellular service. Then the WiFi transfer speed to the phone is really slow, you may need to change recording intervals to 1 minute to speed up transfer. The timestamp format cannot be changed on the recording from 24 hour to 12 hour format. Exposure compensation only works on the front camera, not the rear camera. Hopefully the timestamp can be changed in the near future. I understand the camera was originally not intended for North America, but since they are selling the product here should be an option to change this.

      Great question, I just checked on mine...it came with a standard 64GB microSD card. Of course you can upgrade the microSD card if you wish, but the videos record in MP4 compressed format and so far after about 3 weeks of use I think I'll fit about 8-9 hours of non-stop 2560x1440 video before it starts writing over the oldest files on the 64GB card. It seems like mine uses about 110MB per minute of video recorded (since it is compressed the video files can vary in size).

      Maybe. See if your mirror shroud/casing looks like any of the 3x mirrors shown in 2nd pic at link below:
      fitcamx.com/collections/for-gmc/products/fitcamx-dash-cam-for-gmc-sierra-1500-2500hd-3500hd-2022-2024?sca_ref=5165447.qXQ4kzwGwO
      It's possible that if your mirror shroud/casing looks like one of the 3x shown that it may be compatible with 21 too. But, I believe that 21 is the older interior compared to the refreshed 22 for half-ton/1500s and then 24 for the HD trucks. Still sometimes GM recycles certain parts like the mirror and it is carry over. You'll have to report back and let us know either way.

    • @AdventureRocks
      @AdventureRocks  7 місяців тому

      For me personally I'd have to follow closer than comfort to car in front of me to make out their tag clearly in recorded video. But, depending on how close you are, it'll definitely record everything and you can review/pause and screen shot or zoom on your computer. For a sample to see firsthand, try timecode 6:04 and 6:34 to get a better idea and set video quality to full res in YT settings...take a screen shot and then you'll see what I mean. If a car is passing you whether head on or on the side, then I think much better chance of capturing a legible plate given distance (6:37 is clearly legible). Btw like most modern dash cams it is 4K resolution. If you could find one that records even higher resolution then you'll increase your chances of being able to capture a plate at a further distance.

    So, does this cam work without a smart phone?

      Yes, it runs by itself. The smartphone connectivity is just for setting up our changing settings on camera. I haven't connected my phone since recording this video 6 months ago. And the camera just automatically records to the memory card each time truck is on.

    Does this impede the rain sensor at all?

      @@1halfempty I don't have rain sensitive wipers on mine, but it sits under the sensors so I wouldn't think so.

      Finding that the rear view mirror needs to be adjusted down if the auto high beams don't work. The sensor is in the mirror.
