    Image quality dr750s vs f800 pro

    Headlights will burn out alot of license plates at night on the 750. The Starvis sensor is overhyped by both companies. To me the graininess of the video at night is caused by the sensor. I don't use the enhanced night vision and turn down the brighness. I would rather have darker video with...

    my new blackvue cam

    I run mine at 30 fps with enhanced night vision off and brightness at 1. Dunno if the thinkware is any better as it uses the same Sony sensor.

    BlackVue DR750S-2CH

    No the font and lettering on my 750 mount is perfect. I would ask for a replacement. I ordered mine from an authorized Blackvue seller in the US. It was cheaper than buying from Blackvue. Probably easier to get customer service too.

    Why can't cars come with DVRs?

    It's probably a legal issue. There are certain US states have laws forbidding recording of audio unless both parties are aware. For an Uber driver it's not a big deal posting a sign inside a car notifying customers. For most consumers they are not going to tolerate that. Video recording is in...

    Sandisk release new extreme cards

    If you look at the endurance rating on the automotive version it says “unknown”. It’s like buying a tire with no rated tread life. When you consider whether a microSD card is a good deal is a MLC card with a theoretical read/write life at least twice as good as a typical TLC card a better deal...

    A119 SpyTech Dashcam Drained My Honda Battery

    Typical car battery life is 3-4 years depending on where you live and driving conditions. Pointing it out since you said your car is only 3 years old.

    Is BlackVue the 'gold standard' of dash cam brands?

    Blackvue is ok. I've sent emails to them on the GPS bug in their Blackvue viewer. It takes them 2-3 days to respond and the response isn't great (first suggestion was to use legacy viewer, second was them acknowledging the issue and updating the viewer to 1.13 which fixed the problem). When I...

    256gb microsd

    I don’t see Blackvue selling a 256 GB microSD. 128 GB is the max. 128 GB provides 11 hours of recording for front/rear 750 cams. Seems plenty to me.

    BlackVue DR750S-2CH

    I use Blue Iris for my home security cams and even with all the options turned on to minimize recording from trees/shadows it doesn’t do a very good job. That’s with the software being run on a i5-4670k. Not surprised dashcams can’t do a good job discriminating motion you want to record vs ignore.

    GPS info not showing on Blackvue PC viewer

    Thanks that was helpful. I installed the other dashcam viewer and the GPS information displays properly on the other viewer. So the good news is the GPS info is being properly recorded with my recorded video. The bad news is that Blackvue viewer (ver 1.11 which is the newest) is bugged and...

    GPS info not showing on Blackvue PC viewer

    Yes I'm viewing the vid straight from the micro SD card. Micro SD plugged into provided Blackvue USB adapter. I run the Blackvue Viewer and it automatically detects all the vids on the micro SD card.

    GPS info not showing on Blackvue PC viewer

    I have a 750 and the GPS info in the Blackvue viewer is not working properly. Speed and coordinates are all zero. When I transfer and view the video on my iPhone with the Blackvue app the GPS info works just fine. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

    Why are dashcams so expensive ?

    Dashcams have to be able to survive the interior of a car over a long period of time. You live in the UK so your summers are very mild compared to the southern half of the US. Summer temps typically reach the high 80s-low 90s and can go even higher for weeks at a time. Car interior temps are in...

    Files are 93 MB in size for a 1 min clip. It takes roughly 15-20 seconds to transfer a clip to my iPhone 7 plus on wifi.
