VERY cool, now you can run a GoPro and watch race monitor from your dashboard!

I downloaded and installed the app.
Updated the camera and wifi bacpac firmware.

All works well with one small shortcoming...
The app will not allow streaming playback of recordings, YET.

App update to come for that in future.

I'm getting the backpack so I can monitor other people's cameras from my car.

Then I'll know who to wave to without looking in my mirrors. Best of both worlds.

Has anyone been able to connect two cameras to the app at the same time? Obviously they would need to piggy back on the same backpack wifi network, but I'm not sure how to make that happen.
