I’m sure at some point a lot of the dust will settle and we won’t have so many sub-versions of the same products with ever longer and more elaborate names. And I’m excited to see what comes from the new DR offering. But for the moment I’m considering moving my SG9665GC to a secondary vehicle and getting a dual channel setup in my primary. I was already an early adopter of the SGGCX2PRO for the woman’s car.
It seems like the SGGCX2PRO is a little more expensive, with a smaller screen and no WiFi, when compared to the SG9663DCPRO. But otherwise they’re essentially the same, and apparently the X2 has the same overall form factor as the GC, so it can drop right into place of the GC, with the only additional task being running the cable to the rear camera, while the DC would require a new windshield mount and possibly different placement due to having the plugs on the side.
Is there anything I have wrong or am missing? There doesn’t appear to be any app from Street Guardian in the Apple App Store, so I’m not sure what use the DC’s WiFi would have, though I seem to recall seeing that something was in the works for the future.
Maybe I’m better off biding my time and patiently waiting for the DR, which will have what appears to be a marginally more complex install but otherwise stealthier cameras and presumably WiFi as well? I’d be adding the smart hardwire anyway, so no extra work there.
