    Home security camera

    Well I have a samsung one. But it seems like a lot of people are having trouble with it. When you are looking for a camera for home you need to think about the following: 1. Do you want one or multiple? 2. Do you want it to be wireless, wire or both? 3. Do you want it to save to a dvr, an sd...

    Overheat in parking mode

    Well I do not have a 650. I got the newest one which is the DR490L-2CH. I actually thought it was the new version of the 650 but it wasn't. Like it doesn't have cloud and wifi. It has a night vision and that's one thing i wanted. Back to your question. When this happens, mine works as if the...

    Overheat in parking mode

    My blackvue has a temperature monitor and it will turn off when it hits the limit. You actually want this instead of the camera burning up inside. I have avoided this by covering with shades the front window not letting my front camera get direct son and trying to park in a way that the camera...

    DR650S-2CH and Parking Mode

    Hey Over60, The PMP is a plug with a timer and a voltage cutoff. You turn it on and leave it on. To activate the PMP the car needs to be on and then it will stay on until one of those 2 things happens. If it cuts off it will need the car on again to turn on. That's all the PMP does and has...

    Heat vs cam

    Hello guys, I have notice that my cam sometimes go for 15+ hrs on parking mode and other times just for like maybe 6 hrs. I kept on wondering what the difference was on each occasion. Well I remember that my dashcam has a temperature cut off and the weather is getting hotter and hotter as we...

    Recommended SD card and Hardwire kit

    So the PMP device that I suggested would be always energized, making your cam stay on even with the engine off. The problem with this is that it might just last for a couple of hours depending on your cams intake. The PMP was made for a series of cams of the same brand. This cams would notice...

    just starting with questions

    Hi cino, I have a couple of questions that will probably help the guys here give you better suggestions. 1. Are you just looking for a rear window camera or a combo? 2. Do you just want wifi or are there other things you would like, such as parking mode, night vision, etc..? Sent from my...

    Recommended SD card and Hardwire kit

    That's what @harsh is suggesting the Vico Power Plus. There is also the Power Magic pro. I have no experience with the vico, but the PMP is basically a device that you hook up on the fuse box inside the car. This device comes with a cig plug that will have a block were you choose what voltage...

    Recommended SD card and Hardwire kit

    I believe I read that going under 12V is bad for the car's battery life. And It might not even be enough to start the car up. The suggested cut off voltage that I've been seen is 12.2V+. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

    Hardwiring directly to battery?

    Is the guy doing this a friend of yours? Like if he is doing it for free or at the same price as doing it from the fuse box. Or is he someone you don't know that's getting paid by the time and material used? If he is the second option I really suggest you to go to another person. Sent from my...

    Hardwiring directly to battery?

    Sounds to me like your technician wants to charge you more by complicating a simple task. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

    Hardwiring Direct to car battery?

    Hi max, It depends on what you are using it for. I'll use my dash cam as an example. My cam consumes 370mA while my car is on, that would be 0.370A. I use a 3A fuse, because that's what was provided to me. Now let's say the wire that's feeding the camera gets cut and causes it to short. The...

    Looking to buy Dashcam

    DR490L-2CH It is the newest camera of blackvue, which is the same brand of the DR650. I have this new dash camera and I love it. It is cheaper than the 650 because you won't have wifi or cloud. It is more basic. You won't need a pro magic power (PMP), which is used to power the cameras with a...

    24/7 camera help.

    Hi Trancer, I just want to explain a bit more on the PMP. The PMP is a timer and voltage monitor for a cig plug. What I mean with this is that it is a cig plug that you can set up to go for, I believe, 64 hours with your car turned off. Now as you might suspect, a car battery won't go that long...

    DR490L-2CH parking mode

The camera it self has a voltage cut off... now it's time to run the wires again hehe BTW this camera does have different...

    DR490L-2CH parking mode

    Hi, I am new in this forum. So, I have installed my blackvue DR490L-2CH with a PMP. My problem is that it never goes into parking mode. What I mean with that is that when I turn off my car it will keep going in normal mode, for hours until it goes under the voltage I have set it up. That's...
