Thanks for the update Craig. This seems to be to go to dashcam for RR's going forward, especially if you want the park function. MY23 D350 HSE

Had this fitted yesterday and the install looks neat enough.

It seems to record continuously but in one minute 'chunks' on the SD card - is this right?

Makes reviewing footage a pain.

if like other dashcams you can change the recording time..normally 1,3,5 minute durations. ... - .- -.

Generally, the shorter the ‘chunk’ recorded the more reliable the recording. MY23 D350 HSE

It’s to do with the longer the recording session the more risk of any corruption affecting the whole recording. Break the recording down in to smaller chunks and save each chunk, then if one chunk becomes corrupt the others are safe. Here’s someone else explaining it:

‘’FAT32 has an inherent limit of file size which limits the possibilities. Most folks find 3-5 minutes easier to work with when viewing or looking for a specific incident. Should a file's data get corrupted (rarely happens with good cards and cams) a smaller file size means less recording lost. I've gone from 5 minutes to 3 minutes as what I like, but one cam I use does 1 minute files and I'm OK with that too. It's really just personal preference.’’

The main thing is not to scrimp on the memory card and buy the best you can find that’s most suitable for your dashcam. MY23 D350 HSE

Cheers Gents -

The Land Rover one does not give options - it's one minute clips I guess, but from what's been said, that seems reasonable.

Second question - I can see on the App that the rear camera is recording, when I play back the 'chunk,' I get to select which camera to view. However when I download from the card to my computer, the resulting 1 min MP4s, don't allow me to see the rear camera footage.

This is what would I guess woud be useful after an accident etc So how would I produce a fie of the rear footage?

I’ve always been able to retrieve both the front and rear clips off the SD card. The file names usually have different extensions.

Is it possible that the LR dashcam uses more than one SD card, one for the front and one for the rear?

I’m sure Craig will be along to advise soon enough. MY23 D350 HSE

I can see the clips, from both front and rear cams on the App, and download the same footage to the App under what appears to be the same file. But I can’t export from the app, and if I download straight from the SD card, the rear footage isn’t accessible.

So I can’t see how one could ‘produce’ rear camera footage for evidence if required.

I’ve checked and I can’t see that the rear cam has its own SD card.

Anyone got any insights?

The LR dashcams are very good indeed.. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up The video recordings are very clear and the voice is not irritating like the Blackvue.

My wife has the blackvues and even she gets annoyed with the voice every time she gets in the car!!

The other main advantage of the LR cams is they don't drain the battery in parking mode unlike the Blackvues which have a known problem. I had to switch them off in my last FFRR. All LR cars from 1984

Phil, I took the same route as you through the rubber sleeve at the hinge point of the tailgate, however, I then removed the boot spoiler and fed the wire with the main loom across to the RHS of the tailgate. I then fed the wire down through the right side channel (again where the main loom runs) this is where my install slightly differs from yours Phil, the main loom exits into the void behind the boot light panel (the one you removed) I then drilled the panel installed a grommet for the wire to exit next to the camera position... IMHO it makes a slightly better install following the main loom across and down the RHS following the channel the loom takes. Then the wire is weather proof and you negate the need to drill the tailgate! 👍


Craig - I’m working on this same install and I’m struggling to get through this tailgate part. How do you get the wire through the rubber sleeve without damaging anything? 2021 P525 | Eiger Gray
