A client from Virginia, who owns a beautiful 2013 Porsche 911 Targa4 GTS, heard great things about our Porsche expertise and wanted a high-quality dash camera installed. One of our team members met with him to discuss the unique challenges of installing a rear camera in a Targa model, as the rear glass motorizes back to store the roof panel underneath it. Our skilled technicians designed a custom mount on the underside of the Targa bar that securely holds a rearview camera without requiring any permanent modifications.
Our client chose a Thinkware U3000, which is currently the reference standard for dash cams. The front unit goes to the right of the rearview mirror, mounted as high up as possible for the best overall video quality. It then ties in with the rear camera we just discussed. The U3000 gives this client 4k front recording quality and 2k in the rear. Another great feature is the integrated radar receivers that activate when the ignition is turned off. When it senses motion near the vehicle, it starts recording. The benefit is a much lower current draw. And in modern Porsche vehicles with a lithium battery, minimizing current draw is a big deal. Fortunately, we know how to address this issue.
The client also gets an app that connects with the camera over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to change settings, view a live view, or review past videos. The end result is a dash camera that looks great, performs well and is reliable.
The client was thrilled with the installation and has already had us do his Taycan 4S, and another vehicle is coming soon.
