    Worth getting the 650S instead of 650GW?

    Hey guys! I have two cars and I only have one BlackVue. I'd like to invest in either a 650S or GW for my other car, but I'm not sure which one to go for. Are there any downsides to the 650S? Is it as reliable? I'm perfectly happy with the GW and I've found a local retailer who still sells it...

    New firmware v2.005 10Mbps bitrate

    I've never had someone complain about the camera recording everything, and it's not like it sends the information to the NSA, so I can't see how it can hurt to have it on, heh. I guess we just don't have issues being recorded in Denmark in general.

    DR650S

    The 650S has auto focus? This is a revelation to me. I have a normal 650 so I am sadly of no help, but I hope someone else can chime in.

    New firmware v2.005 10Mbps bitrate

    I never knew people turned off their mics. Mine is always on, why would anyone want it off?

    DR650GW-2CH over the cloud problem

    Hi! I've heard other people are having the same issue as you, so you're not alone. It is possible to revert back to the v2.004 firmware, however I am no expert on how to edit the firmware of the cameras (it isn't hard, I just haven't tried yet, haha!) I'd probably let a few more people chime in...

    BlackVue DR650GW-2CH (v.2.005_2016.07.12)

    The few videos I've checked after I've updated have been fine. However, BlackVue forgot to update the video player software, so it takes a few minutes before videos play stutter-free when using their software. Try uploading one of the files to YouTube and then play it back when uploaded. If the...

    BlackVue DR650GW-2CH (v.2.005_2016.07.12)

    Haha god damn, I had to re-install the app in order to get the update to show up on the firmware download page. Great coding there, guys! Going to install it tomorrow, hoping for the best. Also thanks for the link, Blackboxmycar! I wonder, when you say that it's more reliable to do it using the...

    BlackVue DR650GW-2CH (v.2.005_2016.07.12)

    Anyone know when the update goes live on FOTA? Would much rather update automatically via my phone, but they haven't released it as a FOTA yet.

    BlackVue DR650GW-2CH (v.2.005_2016.07.12)

    10 mpbs front and 5 mpbs rear? I'm surprised they actually improved it that much. Also how come blackvue.com won't load on my end but blackvue.eu will? Checked it on IsItDown and they said it's down as well.

    Bit rate is about to increase in early June

    Anyone have an email for Blackvue? I tried sending an email to their official email address a few weeks ago but never got a response. I'd like to ask when the update's actually going to arrive now that the date has been pushed and shoved around.

    New model ?? DR650S

    I recently bought a 650 2 ch but since I have two cars, I'd have to buy a new one as well. Could opt for the 650S and report back. However, I will be thoroughly pissed off if Blackvue decides to pull a 180 and not release the 8 mbit firmware update for the 650, since they've promised this for...

    Bit rate is about to increase in early June

    I find the quality to be just fine, and hoping the increase in bitrate will solve a bit of the license plate artifacting when going at speed. I will agree that they've handled this entire bitrate deal really badly, however.

    DR650GW Adhesive issue

    As far as I know, the adhesive only works on completely flat surfaces, and most plastic trim inside a car is never 100% flat. Nonetheless, plastic and adhesives rarely stick together properly because of the chemicals in the plastic (or so I was told - it's a bit like how tape rarely sticks to...

    Is there a way to record longer than 1 minute segments?

    Hi! Very, very happy with my recently acquired Blackvue 650 dual channel setup! I've wondered if it's somehow possible to make the camera record segments which are longer than 1 minute, as I'd rather have larger segments (say 3-5 minute segments) compared to the constantly cutting 1 minute...

    DR650 2CH w/ custom firmware vs Thinkware F750 2CH POLL

    I would wait until the 770 arrives to see what the difference between the two cameras are. I went and pulled the trigger on a DR650 a few days ago and I'm overall very happy with it. Video quality is above decent and in a few days, Blackvue will release an update to increase the bitrate on the...

    How do I turn up the bitrate to the 8-9 mpbs on normal firmware?

    Thank you again, Jokiin! Your responses have been incredibly helpful in my journey of dashcams. Glad to hear that Blackvue is releasing a firmware update soon to up the bitrate, I feel like 6.2 mpbs is a bit lower than the 9 mpbs which was advertised (but anything more than the current would be...

    Which dashcam has the best video quality?

    I did, but the amount of available dashcams in Denmark is incredibly small. They're really not very popular here yet and most retailers only sell Blackvue's or NextBase cameras. I'd only buy something as expensive as this in a physical shop because in Denmark, we have a 1 year policy where if...

    Which dashcam has the best video quality?

    Decided to go with the Blackvue 650 (dual channel, I like having that rear camera!). Works really well and the quality is much better than my previous 750. The only issue is pixelation and macro-blocking, but I was told Blackvue is releasing a firmware update to the camera soon which will allow...

    How do I turn up the bitrate to the 8-9 mpbs on normal firmware?

    Hi! Changed my 750 out to a 650 because of a lens issue and I was told the 650 recorded in slightly better quality (which it seems to!). Just looks like it was commercialised to run at 9 mpbs and I just checked my recording, which is at 6.2 mpbs. How would I bump it up? I haven't updated the...

    Which dashcam has the best video quality?

    Ah damn, I didn't notice that the rear camera was only 720p. Ahhhhh what a dilemma! The front camera on the 650 seems to record in better quality than the 750, but the 750 has a 1080p rear camera. Blackvue made this one hard on me, haha.
