    List of problems & issues with the RC500S

    I am still having trouble viewing PIP using the latest Mac or Windows viewer ... however I have stumbled on a way to make it work on the Mac version. There is a discrepancy between the file names and what the player expects to see for front and back - The filenames are now created sequentially...

    List of problems & issues with the RC500S

    Many thanks for your assistance - it's great to have local support here in Australia - I'll try those suggestions. Rather than return the entire camera, can you please send me a new bracket with a return envelope and I'll send you the faulty one? That way I can still continue to use the camera...

    List of problems & issues with the RC500S

    I used to have a Blackview DR650GW in my old car but wasn't happy with image quality, so I went for a RC-500S on my new car. Teh image quality is excellent in comparison, but gee the DOD is miles behind in quality of its software/firmware. I also have a few problems - - The bracket for the...

    Disappointed with quality - faulty unit?

    Your video is typical of what to expect - I could read the number plate of the car that overtook you. The time of day and the tilt of your camera in this clip isn't helping as the sky/clouds are very bright compared to the dark road/cars .. the camera will increase it's shutter speed because of...

    Manual recordings deleted?

    Can someone please verify if manual recordings get overwritten automatically or if they stay until manually deleted? I thought they stayed until manually deleted but mine get overwritten just like normal recordings?

    Power magic pro with Cellink Battery B

    So the Dashcam is directly connected to the Cellink and you're only using the PMP to control the charging of the cellink? I'm just wondering about the value of the Cellink as it's a 6 amp hour battery that will run a 2 channel DR650GW for 19 hours and costs over $300 in Australia. A small car...

    Parking mode - recording all night???

    Mine does the same - continuous recording - I thought that's what was supposed to happen, mines in a garage with no lights or any movement at all so I wouldn't have thought changing my sensor settings would have made a diference - I'd be interested to see what happens with yours...

    SD card recording time.

    If the filesize is the same, the answer can only be half the amount of compression at 15FPS compared to 30FPS

    Why can't dash cams have the same video quality as drones?

    As an aside, law enforcement agencies/ insurance companies etc could easily determine your speed from how fast you move between markings on/beside the road, so not displaying GPS data doesn't help.

    Why can't dash cams have the same video quality as drones?

    It's all about Video data rate - the DR650GW with new firmware has a Video data rate of 10Mbs Compare that to an iPhone 6 at 17Mbs at 30 frames/sec or 27Mbps at 60 frames/sec Or a GoPro will start at 45Mbps and go up to 60Mbps depending on settings On the flip side, a Gopro fills a 64Gb card in...

    Blackvue DR650GW-2CH GPS Not Working V2.00

    You should have taken that offer as you have a faulty camera - I have two and never have any GPS issues

    Can't upgrade my firmware

    Same happened to me going to 2.07 from an earlier 2.x version - I had to copy the files to teh card and do it that way .... I had been able to do OTA updates before, seems 2.07 for some reason didn't work

    Does Blackvue 650 2 ch still record after voltage cut off

    it turns the power off completely so nothing will happen until you turn on the ignition

    DR650GW-2CH won't connect to configured hotspot

    There may be an 8 character minimum, however my SSID has 3 spaces and it has no issues connecting

    DR650GW-2CH, Firmware 2.007, setting time.

    It gets the time sync from the GPS which will be UTC and uses the zone that you enter in the settings to know what offset to apply to the UTC time for your local zone - so provided the Blackvue knows how to correct for DST then the time will remain correct. DST is coming to the southern...
