    DR500GW-HD still interesting to buy now?

    In my personal opinion I would avoid the DR500GW-HD. It has a small rechargeable battery that always fails in the heat and will die usually within a year. After that your Time and Date become inaccurate and repeat the same date every time you power up. It takes a surgeons skill to replace the...

    BlackVue Website

    I'm still sitting on 1.005 and will probably stay put. I am interested in what the new version does to the cameras.

    Do blackVue DR500GW HD support 64gb microsdxc cards?

    I couldn't agree more. :D 64gb in a camera designed for 32gb will end in a wailing and gnashing of teeth at some point. I would get a GoPro or a mount for my iPhone if I wanted to film the scenery and save it. Just sayin'

    DR500GW - after ~ 30 minutes unable to associate to access point at range

    I believe, starting with 1.009 Parking Mode turns off Wifi. No option to keep it on in Parking Mode. Perhaps you are losing your connection when in Parking Mode kicks in.

    Blackvue DR500GW-HD Issues

    I would set Autorun Wifi to off, unless you are driving down the road watching your cellphone ;)

    BlackVue Sport SC500 1080p / 60Fps / WiFi / 12Mpix Sony Exmor /

    Nice commercial up above. Why on earth would anyone in their right mind buy a Blackvue ActionCam? In my opinion, with their last two cameras, they have already proved they don't have the chops to provide a reliable, consumer grade, camera. Dead batteries, time and date problems, disastrous...

    Do blackVue DR500GW HD support 64gb microsdxc cards?

    The CPU AND the Linux OS in the camera has to be able to access 64gb of memory. Not all processors or OS's can. An example would be a old(reliable) Windows 95 machine. You might stuff 16 BG of physical memory on the motherboard, but Win95 could only access 4gb tops. But replace Win95 with SCO...

    Compatible SD cards??

    Reading your post again Did you format it in the Camera If so read the thread it tells you in many places not to do that If the sd card, placed in the Blackvue camera, does not have the BlackVue System Files on it, there is no way for you to stop the camera from formatting the sd...

    My experience of using DR400G-HD2 for 1.5 years.

    Linux is no better at file allocation. Both Linux and Windows took formatting routines from SCO Unix. Writing 1 minute files on top of 3 minute files, or vice-versa, creates fragmentation. Yes I agree using the sdformatter. I've done both the quick and long erase of the cards. I've yet to find a...

    My experience of using DR400G-HD2 for 1.5 years.

    Wow! So much information in this thread. I use 32gb cards from Sandisk, Trident and others. Indeed all come formatted right out of the package. Ready to use. In one year I have had to reformat a card once after the BlackVue would not read it. I do use the SdFormatter program, but I find it...

    iPad app issues

    If you have not powered down the iPad for a while try that. You may also do the two finger salute where you hold down both the Power and Home button at the same time. Keep holding until the White Apple appears. You can then let go. Sometimes this can solve a myriad of problems.

    My experience of using DR400G-HD2 for 1.5 years.

    Nice post. I bet a lot of this would apply to all the Blackvue cameras. How did the sound improve when you drilled the hole by the microphone?

    DR500GW says WIFI signal is too weak

    I have a note 3. This screen does not display. "Always allow Google to scan for Networks when wifi turned off" Nice one. April Fool!

    Pittasoft's Customer Service or Lack Of

    I found two things. 1. If you raise a little Sand with Blackvue you can get their attention. If it has not been suggested PM user Blackvue. You may get marginally better service.

    BlackVue dr500 Trouble

    Could this be a dead battery issue again?

    Does Lukas LK-530 battery work with BlackVue DR500GW-HD?

    The big fat capacitor takes care of the cameras shutdown. The tiny, hard to replace, battery, supply's power to the on-board chipset holding the time and date.

    What version am I running?

    Or you could stay on stable, robust version 1.005 that you already have.

    Image too soft on Right side of picture.

    I do not think you should have trouble. If they are good dealers on Amazon, then they will be the same on Newegg. If they resolve it to your satisfaction then be the first to give them a positive review.
