DR650GW-2CH

I am sure bumping up bitrate /dynamic range to 12~19Mbps will help improving recording quality. Hope they port custom firmware to 650 soon.

I hope so too

Got the app updated from google play hours ago. Hope it really works with Android 5.0 while driving home.

I'm using an iphone 5S and notice the wifi is pretty weak.
Also if I try to play back a video on my phone it will sit there (seems like its buffering) but takes a while to playback the video.

Anybody else have these issues?
I have installed the latest firmware.
thanks

Your audio is as poor as mine !
i wonder if we can have a firmware update to maybe have an adjustable Mic sensitivity ?
Alexsoll ?? please

Hi Everyone!
On March 18 I've recieved my BlackVue DR650GW-2CH cam from amazon.de.
I've easily installed into my car (mazda 5) and It ran smoothly as it tis supposed to run for 2 days.
On Saturday (yesterday)after 2 days use the GPS just does not lock anymore.
At startup the blue led lights up near the red but at the moment when the device starts recording the blue led turns off and no GPS reception.

Naturally there is no km/h unit displayed on the live video stream and on the recorded videos at replay on my pc there is no gps data and of course the map is useless without it.
Ive tried to re-configure the cam thru the android app trying a dzillion combination of settings...no luck.
I formatted the microSD card 2 times and copied back the latest ENG - FW also no luck - no GPS
The upgrade goues thru its procedures, the cam restarts and starts recording but the gps led just disappear and wont come back. Today I had a relatively long drive with the car (2 times ca 3 hours continuously - again NO GPS) I ran out of ideas.
Before I send it back to amazon.de for warranty procedures someone might bump into this issue here and has some short solution (that is what I am hoping now )
Thanx in advance for the ideas.

Sorry buddy i cant help you hopefully someone should be along soon to advise...

 

[alexsoll]

Here are solutions to the problem in the Russian language.
Take a translator and read:

i wonder if we can have a firmware update to maybe have an adjustable Mic sensitivity ?

not and will not

 

[ninja_geezer]

Why not Alexsoll if the mic seems to be a problem for a lot of people ?
Maybe pittasoft will sort it eventually .
i have seen people complaining about the same sound issues on the DR600 as well...

 

[alexsoll]

I don't need it, I don't use sound.
If you need it - please write in pittasoft

Thank you. Although I did not find any solution just yet on the site, but the translated web page is not really reliable lingustically i guess

Update: i did the firmware update ENG 1.003) thru mobile app (Android).After successful updgrade procedure the blue GPS led stays on although it does not recieve any signal (no speed display - stay 000 kmm/h in motion), after the time sync and restart the blue led disappears again. 1 more restart of the device and the blue is again okay but still no recieved signal.
I've just put the sd card on the PC now and there is no signal strength of the GPS at all on the records where the bloe led was on.

I am about to smash this piece of ****. Very disapponing that after 2-3 days use a 350 euro cam just not functioning properly.

Many thanks Alexsoll !!

Alexsoll im sure if you did a firmware tweak for the audio issue it would benefit you from all the donations you would receive for doing it ?
