The Taycan will be my first Porsche and I would like to know, if I need to have any other security items fitted either by Porsche or aftermarket.

I am considering purchasing a
1) Stoplock pro
2) Dashcam - Any suggestions

Thanks in advance for any help.

I was looking in to a dashcam too but mainly to protect against vandalism.

Do you think, any other security options need to be added?
In regards to a Dashcam (vandalism) I am considering one for the same reason. I have just read on the Porsche club uk forum that Karl at In Car Electrics in Milton Keynes (07980 983616) is an experienced installer of Dashcams for Porsche. It may also be prudent to ask BlackVue and Thinkware, who if anyone has installed one in a Taycan.

I had a BlackVue dash cam in my tesla. It's currently in pieces next to me as it failed a while back and when I opened it up I found they used low temperature super capacitors that had of course burst in the heat of the car. Not impressed.

I currently have. Blackvue dr900s -2ch in my discovery 5. Had it for 2 years only issue was memory card completely failed.
Questions arise regarding
1) How good they are in an “All Electric car”
2) How should they be installed in one, especially in regards to power batteries etc (e.g Power Magic Pro)

  1. Short answer is "it works fine until it doesn't"
  2. The installer insisted on installing the power magic pro, though I thought it unnecessary. The end result was that I had to cycle power on *that* device every once in a while when it stopped working.
When the dash cam stopped working it's not always obvious, particularly when you have all the attention-getting lights disabled. The only way I would know if I needed to cycle power on the dash cam was by monitoring how frequently it connected to my home wifi. I really had a lot of problems with this thing, the more I think about it.

I don’t know why Porsche cannot use the existing 360 degree cameras (for those that specified this) and have an add- on subscription for this to be activated...

True but that does not mean it cannot be done for those that really want that type of thing...
