Firstech Announces Next-Generation Drone XC2 LTE Dash Camera

SEATTLE, WA – July 9, 2026 – Firstech, the maker of Compustar and DroneMobile, today announced the release of the Drone XC2 (model: XC2-LTE), the next generation of its LTE-connected dash camera ecosystem.

Engineered to bridge the gap between traditional vehicle security and cloud-connected video monitoring, the Drone XC2 solidifies its position as the industry’s only dash camera that integrates seamlessly with aftermarket remote start and alarm systems.

As auto insurance premiums have risen more than 40% in the last five years, the financial stakes of unproven traffic disputes and parking lot incidents have never been higher. The Drone XC2 directly addresses this issue by delivering indisputable video evidence, transforming a driver’s smartphone into a real-time security monitor.

Total Vehicle Surveillance

While maintaining the same low-profile form factor of its predecessor, the Drone XC2 introduces four sweeping upgrades designed to improve driver security and reduce friction points experienced with other solutions.

1. 3-Channel Video Support: The XC2 expands capabilities to support up to three simultaneous video inputs, allowing drivers to achieve coverage across front, rear, and interior angles.
2. Driving Events with Auto-Cloud Upload: Incidents triggered by impact, sudden braking, or harsh acceleration are instantly uploaded to the secure DroneMobile cloud, ensuring critical evidence is preserved and accessible from anywhere.
3. 20x More Cloud Video: XC2 delivers approximately 200 3-channel cloud preview videos per GB of cellular data—about 20x more than previous generations. The result is faster incident review, lower cellular usage, and more events available before data limits become a concern.
4. Plug-and-Play OBD-II Harness Included: To streamlining installation for standalone dash cam buyers and 12-volt installers, the XC2 now includes a plug-and-play OBD-II harness (previously a $99.99 standalone accessory).

“Drone XC2 reflects our commitment to making connected vehicle security more practical and accessible,” shares Firstech’s managing director, Jason Kaminski. “By combining 3-channel video, automatic cloud uploads, and dramatically more cloud previews with lower cellular data usage, XC2 delivers a smarter dash camera experience for both drivers and professional installers.”

Streamlined All-in-One Subscriptions

In tandem with the Drone XC2 launch, Firstech is debuting a simplified “Dash Cam” subscription tier starting at $15.99/month, with deeper discounts when purchasing multi-year plans. This all-inclusive plan bundles LTE live streaming with DroneMobile’s core suite of app features, including remote start, GPS tracking, and alarm notifications. Existing Drone XC customers will also be able to take advantage of this simplified subscription tier.

The Drone XC2 is shipping now to Firstech distributors and authorized retailers across North America. For more information about Drone XC2 and other DroneMobile connected car solutions, please visit www.dronemobile.com/products.
