I certainly doubt it, but there is unchecked information on presence Ambarella A12
Good suggestion. It's something we might consider, and which I also suggested. We didn't go with it because of time and the fact that some users might also want the Enhanced Night Vision while driving. However, we could consider a setting where user chooses between "NV always OFF", "NV always ON", and "Parking Mode Only" in a future update.I have a suggestion for BlackVue R&D team to consider - why not add an option to activate Enhanced Night Mode only when camera enters parking mode? Night Mode is mostly useful when car is parked, so I guess that kind of feature would make sense.

The parking mode sensitivity is a common complaint for all models that have it. We're holding out hope for some day getting an improved detection algorithm, or a way to allow the sensitivity to be adjusted lower. Motion-detection can be tricky in terms of processing power, so I'd imagine there's a trade-off into how much better it can get.

I've left my DR750S (just front channel) overnight in the office on my desk, with motion sensitivity set to 1 (lowest possible), Night Vision to on and 60fps mode. Just checked the footage in the morning, camera was recording non-stop all night long. Obviously there was no movement in dashcam's view whatsoever, I made sure to put it in place which would exclude any movements or things like blinking lights etc.
While I could somehow understand the amount of image noise during the night (60fps + NV + complete darkness == helluva lot of noise) could be "sensed" by chipset as motion and trigger recording, yet in daylight it should not be a problem. Regardless, camera was recording all the time in parking mode. Unfortunately seems like a firmware bug to me, as DR650 did not exhibit such issues in parking mode. In fact, DR650S was/is pretty much perfect-parking-mode-dashcam I've had chance using.
I had the exact same problem with a brand new DR750S-2CH. I re-flashed the original firmware and now everything works great. Parking mode will only record when there's motion (set to 4).
Hi tvxr,
One thing I can say is that the bitrate is fixed by the firmware but not restricted by the hardware. We have tested at higher bitrates, and who knows, maybe the bitrate will evolve in the future, as was the case with the DR650S Series. Our R&D tested starting with much higher bitrates, going down progressively to match their target quality/size ratio. Past a certain point, gains in image quality were not deemed sufficient to make up for the added file size, which we have to consider since it impacts things like recording time but also Wi-Fi download speed.
One more thing: our R&D is still working on the image optimization, so things may change in the future, but hardware-wise I can tell you we are far from reaching a cap.
Thank you.
Thanks. This is exactly how I would see this feature implemented.
Another thing. While testing my DR750S-2CH unit I've noticed its oversensitive (I guess?) motion detection in parking mode. It appears to record non-stop even when no motion whatsoever is actually around, unless super-tiny movements of grass blades or tree branches are also considered. Couple of days ago I've been at countryside and parked my car in the middle of the field - no car traffic, no pedestrian traffic, virtually nothing. Yet the next day memory card was filled with one-minute clips all over. I've even changed motion sensitivity setting to the lowest value of 1, yet still camera is recording video 24/7 in parking mode. I guess something not quite correct in this department.
If this is true - I'm dssappointed as this is one feature |I hoped had been sorted on this model compared with my very old 650
Just received and installed my 750S today. I had ordered a 650S previously from a reseller but it wasn't functioning as intended. I returned it and ordered the 750S direct from Blackvue instead.
My questions are, does anyone else's mount have this ****ty looking print on it? (photo: https://prnt.sc/gwprcr). Also, has anyone else experienced a loose fit with their front mount? After the front camera clicks in to each notch, I can shake the mount and the camera shakes loosely, not a lot, but enough that it will cause video quality issues and excess noise. I shoved a piece of paper in the ring to fill the void and it's a snug fit now, but ****... for a $400 camera, that should be the least of the problems to expect.
