    Blackvue Fail W/Repeating Message

    One of my DR500GW-HD just did the same thing. I have 4 of them in 4 vehicles, all English firmware, and the newest one (2 years old) just took a dump. Bought a Wheel Witness HP Pro but I'm thinking of switching my other Blackvues to Street Guardian or something similar. I've had enough of...

    Possible defective DR500GW-HD?

    You might want to mount your camera higher, point down a little and clean your windshield inside and out. My first nigh videos were "blown out", especially street lights until I made some adjustments and cleaned my windshield. Good luck.

    Blackvue DR500GW-HD - First Impressions

    No problem. I've seen a lot of "lighter" reviews (buttons, lights etc.) but not too many technical discussions around configuration options.
