Do I need the LTE module for cloud features?

Yes. Real-time alerts, remote monitoring and two-way talk run through the optional LTE module. Without it the camera records to a memory card as a standard dual dash cam.

Does it come with a memory card?

No. It supports microSD cards up to 512GB, and you supply your own. Use a high-endurance card rated for constant recording.

How does the parking mode work?

The buffered parking mode records continuously in a loop and saves footage from before and after an event. It offers four monitoring modes and needs a hardwire kit or the LTE module for power while parked.

Is the rear camera good at night?

The rear uses a 2MP Sony STARVIS sensor with night vision. It is fine for plates and shapes up close, but the 2.7K STARVIS 2 front sensor is clearly the stronger of the two in low light.

Will heat damage the mount?

Some owners report the adhesive softening in extreme heat. Clean the glass, mount it out of direct sun where possible, and check the bond in summer.

Can I use it without the rear camera?

Yes. The front camera records on its own, and you can add the rear unit later. The full kit gives you both channels from the start.
