I disliked this about my 550 as well and actually used a Dremel to cut away just enough material from the door to allow it to pass around the rear camera cable when it was plugged in (the door still remains intact, but you have to be careful manipulating it as you have reduced its integrity...

I wouldn't remove the cover; the design is not just for aesthetics - it's clearly made to force you to unplug the power cable before you can access the SD card slot. As mentioned earlier, you should not be removing and installing an SD card into a powered camera. The side cover is notched in...

The DR750S-2Ch Front Camera has a button on the right side of the camera used to reset wifi and reformat the SD card. You press and hold it for a few seconds until you hear it beep, then release and it will tell you to press once to reset wifi password (to the default which is printed on the...

Yes, I've tried with the accelerator on and off. With it on it's slightly better in that the entire video is not in slo-mo, but as you watch, it seems to cycle in and out of slo-mo effect throughout each one-minute segment (a few seconds of normal speed, then a few seconds where it slows down...

So I updated to the new firmware and wanted to test the camera with the new bit rate, so I set it to extreme. Here's the weird part. If I view the video clips of the front camera through Windows Media Player, they run just fine. However, when I view the front camera video files through the...

This review discusses that exact question. Skip to 2:34 if you want: Long and short - seems the 650 will fit in the 750 mount, but not the reverse. The mounts are pretty easy to peel off and switch though.

Bought my BlackVue DR550GW-2CH camera late in 2013. Just replaced it with a 750, but mostly because I wanted a better rear camera (FHD vs HD). Since the 550 still runs just fine, it's going into a friend's car. As a side note, I did not know at the time that Sandisk Ultra was a bad choice for...

Yeah, it helps to drive in high traffic areas with lots of road signs, street names, license plates, etc. that you can read on the video and see if the clarity improves. You're still limited by bit rates, lighting, etc. but overall I was really pleased with the results and am quite happy with...

It takes a bit of time since, as you've noted, phone screens are a bit small to see the details well enough. I even tried a tablet screen and found it wasn't sufficient to check off of a live feed via wi-fi. Also keep in mind that the kind of adjustment I did probably voids your warranty, but...

I know - the 550 was definitely glued. I have marked the newly adjusted position, so it's easily returned there. If it does ever move, I can use a hot glue gun to put a small dab down like I did with the 550. Looking at lots of other posted videos, it seems pretty hit and miss as to what you...

I recently upgraded my DR550GW-2CH to a DR750S-2CH and was a bit disappointed to see that the slight focus issue that plagued some of the old 500 and 600 series cameras was still present, especially on Blackvue's new flagship. Since I had fixed this on my 550 easily enough, I did the same with...

I found the front camera to be a bit blurry as well. I also had this with my old DR550, and performed the same surgery on this new camera to make it right (remove the trim ring and adjust the lens). I don't understand why Blackvue is still shipping any camera, much less their flagship, badly...

I usually tap the switched line into a power port fuse (on most cars, these are tied to the ACC switch on the ignition) and the unswitched (always on) line to either the hazard lights or the power door locks. Make sure the ground is a good one.

A around the 50 second mark in this video you can see how the end cap comes off.

Ah, okay. Wasn't sure. The end piece that houses the cap comes off with a small screwdriver or something that you can use to release the little recessed lock tab (it's in a slot near the ribs that allow the camera to ratchet). The end then pulls off. The cover plate is just held on by a...

The 650 cap redesign (from the 550) means the only cable you should have to remove is the power. You should be doing this anyway before you remove the SD card to prevent the card getting corrupted if you remove it while data is being written. If you unplug the camera and wait for it to...

I presume it adds the support for the 802.11n standard.

Hey all - just picked up a DR550GW-2CH this past week and thought I'd share my work on the camera. Since the 650 has already redesigned the door to allow it to open without removing the rear camera cable, I decided to take my Dremel to mine and see if I could do something similar. I also...
