Why Dash Cams are the Future of Vehicle Security
You already know the value of a connected vehicle. As a Compustar and DroneMobile user, you’re part of a community that prioritizes being "in the know." You’ve experienced the peace of mind that comes with remote start, GPS tracking, and instant security alerts.
But as the road becomes more unpredictable, the definition of "vehicle security" is evolving. It is no longer just about knowing if something happened, it’s about seeing exactly what took place.
That is where the Drone XC Dash Cam comes in. This 2K Dash Cam equipped with a Sony Starvis sensor and live stream capabilities is designed to bridge the gap between security alerts and video evidence. And the best part? Drone XC integrates directly into the DroneMobile app you already use. It’s one familiar place to remote start your engine, track your GPS, and now, see exactly what’s happening around your car.
Main Benefits of the Drone XC
✅ ‘He-Said-She-Said’ Accidents - DroneMobile has had your back when your vehicle is parked, but what about when it's driving? When an accident happens, the details can get blurry and stories often change once insurance gets involved. With Drone XC, you can skip the exhausting back-and-forth with insurance companies. Simply provide the footage that proves exactly what happened and get on with your day.
✅ Peace of mind with Live View over LTE - DroneMobile made it possible to check that your vehicle is locked and safe. Drone XC now adds an extra layer of security that allows you to live stream video from your dash cam in real time. Whether you’re across the street or across the country, you’ll be able to see what your car sees right from your phone.
✅ Security alerts with video - By connecting Drone XC to your aftermarket remote start/alarm, you'll now get a video recording with all security events. The following events can trigger a recording: Impact, Tilt, Glass-break, Doors opening, Hood opening, Trunk opening, Unauthorized start attempts, Motion (when activated in the DroneMobile App).
How to Upgrade Your Security with Drone XC
Drone XC-LTE plugs right into any Compustar, Arctic Start, or iDatalink remote starter. If you already have a Drone LTE module, Drone XC will replace that hardware as it has Drone LTE connectivity built right into the camera.
Once connected, Drone XC combines everything you love about DroneMobile (remote start, keyless entry, tracking) with the added security benefits of an LTE connected dash camera. All of these benefits can be enjoyed in the DroneMobile App.
Don't Lose Your Subscription!
After you get your Drone XC dash camera installed, you can transfer all remaining service from your old device to your new camera. You can do this by updating your vehicle's serial number in the "Vehicle Info" page or by contacting DroneMobile Customer Support.

Vehicle security is about more than just a locked door—it’s about having the full story, 24/7. Whether you are at a red light or miles away from your parked car, the combination of Compustar’s hardware and Drone XC’s vision ensures you never have to guess.
