Sorry, but ConnectedCam is not for the new C4. It's only fitted on the C3 and C5 Aircross.

The camera you have on the windscreen is for other purposes like safety features and road sign detection. There's no access to the camera for anything else.

It will be part of an ADAS system (Advanced Driver Assistance System). The camera can be utilised for a variety of functions, some examples of which are:
  • Speed Sign Recognition: to advise you of speed limits and for the cruise control that can recognise and keep you within said limits.
  • High Beam Assist: Automatically detects oncoming vehicle headlamp lights at night and dips your vehicle's headlamps.
  • Lane Departure Warning: Checks the white lines on the roads and emits a warning if you cross them without first indicating. Can be used as part of active distance control (Active Cruise Control) with or without a separate radar unit to maintain a safe vehicle distance behind the vehicle in front, whilst increasing and decreasing the vehicle speed accordingly.
  • Emergency Collision Warning - to alert the driver if a collision is likely - and used with the Active Safety Brake to apply the brakes automatically if the driver does not respond or is not applying sufficient force on the brakes. Can prevent or lessen the impact of a crash.
  • Used in conjunction with the Navigation system for detecting speed limits and other road hazards.
  • Used for activation of Automatic Headlamp Lighting.
These are just some examples, and all these features will depend on the vehicle, it's trim level and any additional options, so your vehicle may not have any / all of these features.

No problem, that's correct, the camera is a sealed unit and has no user-access.
