    Glitched Files

    Sounds similar. When I try to copy all the files first without running ScanDisk first, it will copy almost all of the files and leave behind only the ones it has a problem with. The glitched files seem to be a random selection and may be anything from 2-3 files up to a high I have seen of 36...

    Glitched Files

    This is a MINOR issue that I have had both with my current DR900X Plus and my prior DR650GW. I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced it. Every few days, I dump the contents of the camera chip to my Windows computer before the 256GB chip has had a chance to fill up and overwrite the oldest...

    General Observations

    I have had my DR900X Plus 2-camera system for about 3 months now, but just got back from a 3-week trip from Los Angeles to Claremore, Oklahoma and back to visit family. This was my first good opportunity to give it a real shakedown on the Interstates. For parking mode, I set the impact...

    List of config.ini entries?

    Is there a document anywhere that details what all of the different entries in config.ini do? Some of them are obvious, while others are a little cryptic. I realize that some of the settings might not apply to my particular camera (DR900X Plus), but I would like to get an understanding of the...

    Corrupted File System

    I found a faster way to dump the chip to my computer. It was the most logical way and I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. I plugged the chip into a micro-SD to SD adapter and then plugged it into the SD port on my laptop. It downloaded to my computer much faster than any of the other...

    Corrupted File System

    This is a brand new approved BlackVue 256GB chip that came with the camera. I know that chips don't last forever. Over the 7 years I had my old camera, I replaced the chip a couple of times. I always have a total of 2 approved chips on-hand. The problem has not prevented me from recovering files...

    Corrupted File System

    This is not so much a complaint as it is an observation: I notice that my new DR900X Plus/UHD-FHD has one of the very same problems that my old DR650GW-2CH/FHD-HD had: It apparently can corrupt a file or files during shutdown. I know that the BlackVue series of cameras use a super capacitor to...

    Power Magic B-124X Bluetooth Problem

    I just got a B-124X and am in the process of checking it out. Everything seems to work except for Bluetooth. I downloaded the battery app. I told it to scan and it found my unit. I clicked on it and it said 'Connected', but the display remained blank or zeros. I clicked on 'Settings' and it said...

    DR650GW Gave Out

    If I gave the camera a hard reset by holding in the button, SOMETIMES it would sync to the sattelite time and sometimes it wouldn't. When it failed to sync, I just let it keep running at its starting date back in 1999.

    DR650GW Gave Out

    My DR650GW-2CH just gave out after 6.5 years and I am looking for a replacement. One question I have: Do the newer cameras in the BlackVue line have a clock battery that is easier to replace? That was one of my few gripes about my DR650GW. The battery went dead after about 3 years use and I...

    I take a tumble!

    From last January: The parking mode of my dash-cam caught me taking a tumble! I was parked right out in front of my doctor's office and was walking into the building. My left foot tripped against a raised area of the cement and I took a tumble. I got a pretty good bruise on my chest, but was...

    Can I Rollback the BlackVue iPad App?

    Is there a way to roll back my BlackVue iPad app to an earlier version? I have not been able to connect to my DR650GW since upgrading to the most recent version. I have tried resetting my password to the factory default, and that doesn't work, nor does any of the other advice I have received...

    Need Password

    Like I said above, I am now sorry I upgraded the App. If there is a way to roll it back to the previous revision, maybe I can get it to work again. I found the 'blackvue' default password on a BlackVue page. Since mine is an older unit and since it doesn't have the referenced sticker on it, I...

    Need Password

    I found out that the default password in these older units is 'blackvue'. I tried that without success. I also tried resetting the password according to the instructions, also without success. I should never have updated the App since it was working just fine!

    Need Password

    I have a 5+ year-old DR650GW-2CH/FHD-HD camera. I just downloaded the latest BlackVue iPad App and it no longer connects to the camera. I got to the point where it wants me to connect manually using the SSID and Password. It refers me to a sticker on the camera that contains both items. My...

    A Near Miss Last Week

    Northbound on Highway 14 between the San Fernando Valley & Palmdale, California. I saw the situation developing in my rear-view mirror and hit the accelerator. I think it was just enough to keep him from hitting me. Gave a copy of the video to the CHP officer responding to the incident.

    Camera shows wrong date and time

    I have had a dead clock battery in my camera for about 18 months now. I am just too much of a procrastinator to get it fixed. Once I get the camera to set itself to the correct time, it will maintain the time until the 24-hour timer runs out in the computer port power connector. Since I am...

    Approved Memory Chips?

    Is there a list of approved memory chips for the DR650GW anyplace? I tired going to the BlackVue web site, but didn't find anything except their own brand of chips.
