Seems the maker of that camera in your garage also makes the Taycan's backup cam, judging from the fisheye effect.
You mean Ring has also built the backup camera of the Taycan? :clap:

I created the Night Sabre range of sensor lights, happy to support forum member rates if you're interested - 30% off MSRP. Very discreet when installed, 12v, PoE and a wifi connected smart versions you can turn on with Alexa. www.smartsabre.com :)

I already had Arlo camera’s front and rear, I keep my keys in a faraday cage and I have solar LED security lights on the front and back of the house. I pay Porsche for their tracking system and keep the security fob separate from my key when stored at home. Anything other than that is what insurance is for imo

My dealer said to just get gap insurance instead of a tracker. £500 for two years.

Plus you don't have to deal with the hassle of disarming it and carrying around an extra fob with you.

Do you really want your car back after it has been stolen when you could just get a new car for no cost?

I also got GAP. So far the fobs have been no hassle at all and I just bring them along as part of my routine. I'd rather the car got tracked and recovered if it's not damaged, which is they're stealing it to sell: it's less likely to be. Also the tracker reduces the insurance premium.

+1 to all of the above.
Also, anything that increases the chance of the bastards getting caught or at least stops them benefitting from their crime is worthwhile.
And, until there's a significantly better Taycan available, I'd rather not have another wait for one to be built in my exact same configuration.
Oh, and avoids having a total loss claim and its implications on my own, and everybody else's, insurance premiums.

I will be getting a shiny new Taycan CT4 in the next couple of months, hopefully by the end of this year. I am interested to know what security measures I should take to protect it. I am thinking of a camera on the house, motion sensor lights. I may also pay the subscription for the tracker. What do you use? Your advice would be welcomed. Thanks
PVTS+, keep the key and tracker fob separate, sorted!

Pay for the tracker activation.
My car insurance company requires it as part of the policy.
You will get a call to say your car is moving without its tag and you can track it while calling the police.

They’d be lucky to figure out how to start it.

cell towers even if you don't have the tracker subscription
Remind me why I might want a tracker subscription when I could simply go to My Porsche app and click on the map?

1. Insurance requirement for valuable cars.
2. The Police work with the tracking company to find and retrieve the car.

3. Monitoring service; service provide contacts owner if the car moves without the tracker fob to verify car state
