I purchased a BlackVue DR900S-2CH and installed it today into a 2020 Mercedes-Benz E-450. I updated it to the latest firmware. I have not had any issues connecting to it using the BlackVue Cloud (iOS) v2.98 software and WiFi. After getting both cameras mounted and working, I completed a few test drives during the day and into the evening. I noticed a few things and am looking for any suggestions to help resolve these issues:
1. The camera does not switch between normal and parking mode very quickly. Right now, I am just plugging both cameras into the cigarette lighter outlet in the car. I will ask the dealer to install the BlackVue Power Magic Pro next week. Maybe this will resolve that issue? I am just surprised at how slowly it detects a vehicle being parked and then moving again.
2. I am getting a lot of reflection from the inside of the car onto the windows (front and back) which the camera is certainly recording. Any way to tamp that down a little bit to gain a better picture quality?
3. I purchased a 64GB BlackVue SD card with the cameras. I want to use a 256GB Lexar 633x A1 U3 XC1 V30 card to extend the recording time before entries start being overwritten. Any problems with this? The camera would not format the car, I had to do it from my laptop using the BlackVue Viewer (Mac) software.
4. The video I am getting does not look as wide as some of the video I have seen on the Internet.
I left the default settings and have not changed anything.
