- DR900s (50% Stolen!)
Hi All,
Long time no visit.
Unfortunately, my DR900s front camera was nicked last week - they smashed the passenger window and grabbed the camera, leaving the cables to the PowerMagic & Rear camera dangling.
It might have been recording - depending on the angle of approach - but there's no WiFi available - so they have the footage.
I've tried to raise a ticket with Blackvue to see if the camera has been/attempted to be re-registered - no response as yet.
Thinking about replacements - and the problem is that any hardwired camera is quite visible - and I was wondering if there are any units out there that have a separate recording module - so only the camera is on the windscreen - and the recording box could be secured elsewhere?
For now I have a PowerPro and a rear camera and no functionality - and a week to wait for Autoglass.
Oh, and shattered glass everywhere!
PS: Any suggestions (other than eBay) where to search for Front Cameras - I have my cloud ID - so can identify if my unit is for sale?
Cheers, Séan

Check out Street Guardian's "Dual Remote" cam. There's also several motorcycle cams with a remote 'head unit' but cable lengths might be an issue. The K2S is another dual-remote, but QC is variable so you may or may not get a good one. What all these may lack is the features the 900 has, and that might matter to you.
