2016 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Montalcino Red

I wonder why?

I wonder why the new Defender, that has camera's everywhere, needs a separate Dash-cam to record the road (front and rear) etc when surely all that is needed is a memory card and slot!

Am I missing something or have the manufacturers missed a trick here - or more importantly, are they in cahoots with the Dash-cam manufacturers

"UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you.

don't think it does... other than to justify stiffing you, what was it, over 700 quid for a horrificly bulky pair of devices. Steve N | 21MY Defender

Goodness me! What a butcher job!

I installed my Nextbase camera yesterday - literally took me 10mins and I didn't need to remove a single bit of trim to hide the cable.

And my camera doesn't exclude much of the opposite side of the road like the LR one.

After seeing the video on powerfuluk I thought I will get this one BlackVue DR900X-2CH 4K UHD Cloud Dashcam

> Great design

> switches off intelligently to safe battery
> has 4K
> much cheaper than LR cam

with all the cams on the Defender 2 more as hidden dashcams would be welcome 22MY Defender 110 (actual) | 10MY Freelander 2 (history) | 15MY Discovery Sport HSE (history)

I wonder if it is due to the different country specific legal restrictions on their use around the world?
With 83 ECUs or whatever, It wouldn't surprise me if they weren't secretly recording anyway
