Lowcam coverage — Switzerland

Lowcam coverage

Quality: Generation 3 or Generation 4 quality (varies)

Colors: Matches whichever generation sensor is used

How to recognize: Mounted noticeably lower on the car than standard cameras (for privacy compliance). Blur is car-shaped — not circular. Why lower? Privacy regulations in certain countries require the camera to be positioned below typical fence or hedge height.

Countries: Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sri Lanka.

Comparisons:

vs Gen 2: Lowcam has a car-shaped blur (not circular). Better image quality. Mounted lower.

vs Gen 3 / Gen 4 (standard): Same image quality, but mounted lower and has a larger car-shaped blur (except pickup trucks in Gen 4, which also have car-shaped blurs).

vs Smallcam: Both are mounted low. Lowcam has no front protrusion; Smallcam has the Matryoshka-doll shape. Lowcam can be Gen 3 or Gen 4. Smallcam is always Gen 4 quality.

vs Shitcam: Better quality. Both can have a large blur.
