I run 3 BV 650-2 cameras...quite reliable although the sd cards wear out and require replacing every 1.5 ish years...no biggie...I stay away from getting too techie like cloud...not needed and avoid FW upgrades a usually offer poor results...I don't feel 900 rez needed and maybe now they are okay but the original suffered from heat due to the large file processing...

Same here. There was a guy trying to 3D print a case including the gps antenna and the camera in the back. Never heard of it again
Nice drop here:

I would highly recommend the 900S. I have it installed on my M3CS and will install another one on my TTS once it arrives.

4k video is phenomenal and the system has been working reliably. Only downside is it will require someone skilled to install since it require running wires to the fuses and possibly adding a cellink backup to avoid draining the batter when the car is shut off.

Please excuse my stupidity, but I am thinking of using the front camera in the bumper and splicing a video cable to add a DVR and therefore use the front camera as a dash camera. If I do not need a HD dash camera video, what's wrong with this approach. Why it seems nobody tried this?

Hey, what was the cost of install at this Porsche of Manhattan? I'm looking for an installer in NYC or Darien, CT area.

Cheers
