Model: Blackvue DR650S-2CH Firmware: 1.007_2017.07.03 Purchased: 2017, MAY 17 *** This is a long one and I apologize, but I wanted to include as much info as possible. Here goes! *** I installed the Blackvue in my 2017 Toyota Highlander with the Power Magic Pro (PMP); firmware...

FYI: Just updated to AC3.7; audio is back and seems like night video quality has improved (traffic light colors don't bleed; s/n ratio has qualitatively improved). Lets see what happens over time.

Still running AC 3.1. Before reformatting the card, I check the videos to see what's going on and I noticed I have no audio at all. Otherwise, video quality is decent although I have noticed marked deterioration in quality over time. Has anyone else experienced this audio issue?

PSA: The LK-7900 ACE will shut down once the ambient temperature inside your car reaches freezing (0 C). The stated operating range is -20 C (-4 F) to 80 C (176 F) although the thermal shutdown function kicks in at 65 C. In my case, it looks like it took all of ten minutes after I parked...

Oh I certainly remember your update trials... The viewer is never an issue, Ipol. As you know, its always the firmware updates that scare most of us. So when all goes well, there's reason to rejoice! As for the AC3.1 v AC31... Based on what features were added, I guess I didn't consider it a...

Just updated to AC 3.1 without incident - YAY!!! I'm not sure if its a placebo effect, but my night resolution seems to have improved a wee bit even with a polarized filter. Is there an easy way to quantify this? Very happy with things so far.

Beautiful! Splendid work. Thanks for the write up.

Ipol, my apologies for the delayed reply. Yes I noticed that as well and in my opinion its another software bug that needs to be addressed by Lukas. All the best, R

Found this online, Dave: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7178401.html So you're right.... Thanks! I'm going to check my data on the viewer to see which dimension changes the most during hard stops and that should confirm things. RaffRaff

Help!!! Does anyone know the orientation of the LK-7900's 3-axis accelerometer? I'm guessing the x-axis is the normal (pointing to the floor and the sky), the y-axis points to the left/right (ie driver and passenger side windows) and the z-axis points out the windshield. I'm trying to adjust...

My thoughts exactly - the dude probably had the phone resting on the steering wheel as he texted...

@Ipol: I'd posit that since the SD cards are constantly being written to, they're going to fail within 6 months or so (just a wild guess). That's why Lukas recommends that you reformat the cards every couple of weeks. Eventually, I'd expect the cards to fail. Again, the six month value was...

Just purchased an Eye-Fi Pro|X2 class 10 WiFi SD card. Was able to format it with the Lukas viewer and save my settings onto the card. The card's OS partition seems to be ok. I'll drop it into my cam tomorrow morning and see what happens. Will report back the results. Just thinking out loud...

Hi Jason. Are you referring to the eye-fi brand or would any wireless SD card work? Good morning! R

My 7900 (AC29) is not perfect, but I get pretty good stills from the Lukas Viewer. I have the OEM CPL filter on day and night and I can read signs and plates. I have the cam off to the right rather than directly behind my rear view, since my car has a rain sensor that takes up a lot of real...

I do hope Lukas will eventually support wifi SD cards when the standard is finalized.

As everyone has already mentioned, any class 10 or better SD card will work just fine. Take a look at this web site for an explanation of SD card speed classes (SDHC, SDXC, SDHC UHS and SDXC UHS): https://www.sdcard.org/developers/overview/speed_class/ Hope this helps.

Hmm... The photographer in me poked around a bit and I found this slightly biased review of the EYE-Fi v. Transcend Wi-Fi cards here: http://www.dpreview.com/articles/4616822206/battle-of-the-wi-fi-cards-eye-fi-vs-transcend Calling all programmers and hackers, the Transcend Wi-Fi cards can be...

True. I didn't think about the fact that Lukas formats the SD card with two partitions: (a) low level proprietary LINUX and (b) a standard windows partition. I'll have to look into how these EYE-FI cards are set up. Damned, It was a nice idea for a moment though....

Would the Lukas black boxes work with wireless Eye-Fi cards? It would be great to save videos to my iPhone. Transcend has class 10 SD cards in 16 and 32 GB capacities.
