FitCamX power supply question.

[HorseWithNoName]

I'm seriously thinking of installing the FitCamX for my Mach E.
Looking at all the videos it seems like it has been designed to fit perfectly and make the dashcam hardly noticeable.
My concern is the power supply.
In the long run, how does the Mach E react to the extra drain of current on its rain sensor?
Has anybody who installed it notice any error messages?

I've installed their camera in my F-150 Lightning and have had no issues whatsoever.

Edit: Mine is connected to the rain sensor port and is also running the auxiliary rear camera.

I think most of us have wired ours into the passenger footwell fuse box. I have no appreciable drain since it turns off when the car turns the switched power off (and therefore, no error messages). ?‍?

I've been running it connected to the rain sensor for about 8 months with no issues.

How does this cam perform? Are the videos/pics good? Does it overwrite the oldest vids/pics when the memory card is full automatically?

It's not bad.

You can see footage in my video.

I can't read any license plates in your video due to compression artifacts, so I would call the quality "marginal". Bitrate matters more than resolution for reading moving plates.
