Canopy Bed Security Cameras

[SmoothJ]

I was invited too, however I declined since it was a stick-on camera and was worried about it ruining the defroster lines when we had to take it off.

If we could have kept the camera, I would have accepted it.

We do get to keep the camera. I confirmed that via email with canopy.

Actually enjoying the camera so far. I don’t even notice it’s there. And love being able to see live view. And also love the deterrent led lights that light up with movement.

In the contract, it said you had to give it back at the end. I even confirm this with Ford too.

Have you all triggered an alert at night to see how the night vision looks?

I like it and it works well. I just wish the intrusion option would alert the app. As of now it just lites up the camera in bright red.

Do you not get notified by the app when motion is detected? I do. It’s great.

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.

Little clarification needed here. It's not in my line of sight at all in my '22 Lightning. The box take up about 10" of space under the rear driver's seat. I'm using an OBD2 splitter so I can use my OBD2 bluetooth adapter at the same time.

It works well but it's no substitute for what Rivian or muskrat's vehicles have.

Can you post a link to that splitter you were talking about? I didn’t know they made those and that would be great to have because I’ve considered getting one for ABRP.

Here it is. Works well for powering the Canopy cam and data for ABRP Premium.

Bed intrusion notifications work great. When it detects motion at the side of the truck (rear windows for example) all it does is activate the light lights on the camera but doesn't send a notification. This is by design and I've asked them to include the option for these to be notifications in the app.

I have a BlackVue DR970X dash cam that records both front and rear and it's hardwired into the fuse box for parking recording. It's the LTE model so I can view a livestream whenever I want of the truck bed.

The rear cam is tiny, about an inch by two inches. It's out the way and can't see it from my rear view mirror.

Ditto. I have a FitCamX with the rear camera. It seems like that would be a much better way to go.

I got the invite and accepted. Just signed a participation agreement, so I'll be giving it a whirl.

Ditto. I was away on our winter trailer trip when it arrived and have been really busy since we got back. I'm about to install mine and will let you know how it goes.
