Canopy Bed Security Cameras

[F150ROD]

Looks like it's a startup that is supposed to work like Sentry on a Tesla but is only available for the truck bed.

Anyone have any experience with this company?

I know of a member on the F150 forum that got into the testing program some months ago and it seems pretty cool. I got an invite recently. Hopefully I get in.

Same! I’m wondering if this is the system that could be used in T3….

The part that mounts on the window is huge and is right in line with your rear view mirror. There is also a box that would fill the space under one rear seat and you have to leave it plugged into the OBD port all the time so you can’t have ABRP or CarScanner running. I’ll just let insurance replace anything that gets stolen since the cops probably wouldn’t do anything even if you have video.

I think it's possible to plug more than One device into the OBD port via a Y-adapter.

I received an invite this week, but have not responded just yet.

Yeah, I was surprised that they didn’t make the connector a pass through. My main objection is the size of the camera and the fact that it has to mount to the sliding window. I have a tonneau cover and my truck spends most of its time in my garage so I’m not really concerned about monitoring the bed.

Thats what has me wondering if this camera will be replacing the current bed camera and tested as an OEM option for the T3.

The sad part is that we now definitely know that the truck cameras are not capable of a Sentry mode feature but I think that’s been known for a while

It would make sense if Ford bought them for the software with a plan to eventually integrate the hardware into a new image processing module and use the hi mount camera.
