So I ordered the Blackvue DR750s as soon as it was released on the Blackboxmycar site. I spared no expense (got the Cellink B battery pack, harwire kit, rear camera, 128gb card, and CPL filter for the glare). It was an easy install in my 2015 Lexus IS Fsport, but I immediately noticed it had blurry image and focus issues in the hot Texas heat (we had almost 100 degree days even in September!) I uploaded sample videos onto youtube (see below) showing the focus issues in the heat.
I returned this camera to blackboxmycar and they gave me a replacement DR750s which still had the focus issues, except this time after over a month of use it decided to give me a powering down audio message whenever i started the car, and now it is dead.
Instead of getting a third Blackvue, which will probably have the same focusing issues, I'm allowed to upgrade to the new Thinkware F800 Pro thanks to Blackboxmycar's amazing customer service (I highly recommend using them). I'm pretty disappointed about the Blackvue quality overall. It seems as if Blackvue has always had focusing issues and people like to adjust the focus themselves and glue the lens...shouldn't be that way for the price!
I don't understand how spending $750 on a dashcam system that's supposed to be top-of-the-line with glowing reviews turns out to be a dud...twice! Hopefully the Thinkware F800 Pro turns out to be more reliable.
