I have done it my current MY19 and in my previous MY16, pretty straight forward although getting through the rubber is a tad awkward, a stiff draw wire and plenty of WD40 did the trick.
I mounted my rear camera at the bottom of the window to avoid the dirt etc missed by the wiper, a small hole in the bottom trim and a grommet, you can hardly see it.
I have a Thinkware F800 Pro, the rear camera is pretty discreet and great HD quality.

I don’t have pictures of my current install but these were from the MY16:

Hi,

Hi,

The Fleabay item plus at least a couple of hours fitting @ average LR dealer prices (inc VAT) means the brochure price of £693 “fitted” isn’t far off.

I think the most interesting thing here is the guide to installing the rear camera. Looks like if you remove the spoiler you can get access to inside the headlining and also be able to route through the rubber grommet and into the tailgate. Don’t suppose anyone has done this?

Should save in having lots of loose floppy cable hanging around.

How easy was it to feed the usb cable through the rubber grommet once the spoiler was off?

Easy enough, but you'll need to use something to push it through. If you use a wire coat hanger make sure the end doesn't have any sharp edges (wrap plenty of electrical tape around it) and go gently - you don't want to damage the insulation on any of the wires in the original loom

PowerfulUK have a comparison of the LR camera and an off the shelf NextBase unit in this video.



Comparison starts at 10.52. I have to say that it looks like the LR unit isn't that great in this comparison. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I got Blackvue DR750CHS 4K Colour/night, wifi and BT front and rear and they were about £280 for the pair and the power, got a local sparks to tap into the power above the rearview mirror and all works great, the only I wish I did do was pay for the battery pack so I could do the parking mode, there is an add on for it that uses the OBD port, the cameras are smart in such that if the have a feed direct to the battery with no ignition they sense a low battery and will shut down, I just didnt like the idea of a flat battery knowing how these things chew through them.

Didnt know there was a battery pack for my set up so shoudl have bought that too! Also if you have WIFI in the car the main cam links to it and will alert you via the cloud and you cna also view them if the car was driving aroudn too (if it hasnt been unplugged (there is a cover for that but garages dont liek them being on whilest they are working on them)

PowerfulUK did a vid on the install but it does seem a touch steep. Park mode is a good idea but you just know the one time you want to catch some a h ol e damaging your car it wont get it and most of the time its door openers on the side panels!

On the plus side I got £67 back on my insurance cos I told them there was a dash cam fitted so maybe its worth it over a few years!

I think Balck Vue were the ones LR recommended a while back as Ie seen quite a few with the older BV models.

Ignore the refurb I spoke with the guy and he said they are mainly open box un registered and come with the same full warranty as a new one, and they actually do I registered mine and its covered. If a jobs worth doing, get a someone who knows what they are doing to do it!

Hi Guys,

I spoke to the JLR warranty bunch last year with regard to having a front and rear set fitted by the RAC in my 18 plate RRS and they stated that it could invalidate the warranty"should" the work carried out be the cause or "suspected" cause of any issues with the vehicle if it was taken to the dealership while still under LR warranty witch which to me says that it could give them the excuse not to cover any issues linked to the electrical system and controls. They also put that in writing to me via e-mail. 2023 D350 FIRST EDITION, SANTORINI WITH CLOUD/EBONY

Anyone know how to export a video from the app? Managed to download it to the iPhone but cant figure out how to send it.. L494 3.0L SDV6 Autobiography in Chile Red (Current)
L320 3.0L SDV6 Autobiography in Baltic Blue (RIP 29/03/2021 insurance total loss)

can you browse the footage in photos/videos on the iphone? maybe try save to files (which you can then send on) Or does it have a cloud option so that you can upload to the cloud when you are at home on your wifi and initiate it from the app on your phone perhaps.

The BLackVuew ones can do this but also they all will have a micro SD card so probably quickest just to take that out and put in a PC or laptop as it will be cable speed quick rather than over the air speeds. If a jobs worth doing, get a someone who knows what they are doing to do it!

No, not as far as i can see. You have the option to download the video from the webcam to the device but as far as i can see its only visible through the app. Definitely nothing in the pictures folder

I've had to resort to the phones native screen recording app to send it on but one of the reasons i bought the webcam is the fact it was controlled from an app and there's no messing with memory cards. L494 3.0L SDV6 Autobiography in Chile Red (Current)

Check the app settings and see if it has access to your photos on the iphone if that has been denied then it will store them inside the app I suspect. (have you connected the phone to a PC or and seen if you can browse it? Seems odd that is wouldnt allow you to email or send them on somewhere, only thing I cant think is that when it intstalled it didnt ask for access to the photos folder on your phone which I would naturally deny unless I had a reason!

Maybe there is a setting somewhere in the app to change the storage location

might be worth looking at the powerfulUK video on it and maybe asking them the question or LR if you can get hold of someone who knows about it that is!

Good luck If a jobs worth doing, get a someone who knows what they are doing to do it!
