I have been looking, but having very little luck finding information on the functions available to the Infinite Skyz Skyzmatic system if no cell internet is subscribed. Lots of things can be done with the system, and I'm not trying to slam it. Just that I am not going to add another monthly bill for service for the thing.
Below is a listing of the features available. Bearing in mind that my phone has Bluetooth and Hotspot, how many of these are still available if the system is paired to my phone rather than paying for a service just for my car?
******************************
Connectivity:
Wi-Fi hotspot (Not needed. The phone is a hotspot.)
VOIP calling (integrated into car's sound system.) (Not needed. Have phone. No need for VOIP)
Internet radio (Not needed. Have radio)
GPS/NAV (does GPS even work w/o subscription?)
Bluetooth connectivity for iPad, iPhone and Apple watch connectivity to the car
The car will have some sort of cradle that can lock the iPad in place and charge it.
Sensors:
accelerometer
Front and rear radar/proximity sensors
Front and rear cameras
Left and right blind spot sensors
360 degree fish eye camera
Capabilities:
Cameras will record if accelerometer detects movement even if car is unattended - theft or crash
Cameras can be remotely accessed from web (Only w/subscription)
Lock or unlock remotely (Only with Subscription)
remote start (Only with Subscription)
read ambient temp remotely (Only with Subscription)
ability to set GPS fences, speed and time limits for children or employees. (???)
******************************
To me, w/o subscription, this looks like nothing more than a fancy camera system...
Thoughts? Have I got this right? Is Skyz required to get the backup camera?
