Second summer with hot days both in MA and NY. Inside the car, it gets like hell due to completely open parking places at the office. Thank God this camera is a very solid build. No issues. Meanwhile, 2 weeks ago someone while backing touched my tow hook licence place holder and the holder replaced. thanks, I had it on camera. She did not admit her bad at the beginning but after watching the video she bought a new holder.
Update 2/14/2020
It is the first winter with my dashcam and it works perfectly so far. We had freezing cold days here in the Boston- NYC area and never faced a single issue. Very satisfied as an almost one year customer. Attached a new video showing a irrespective driver! Please note that This video is downloaded from the cam to the phone via BT and uploaded here!
Update 12/29/2019
The hot days are over with no issues and now Will see how it will behave in the harsh Boston winter. Still a very happy owner. I also had the chance to get a free testing Hotspot device from one of the known carriers and got the 2gb/$10 plan. So happy to have an active warning system all the time I park my guy!
Update 07/21/2019
Had the chance to park the car close to my apartment (on-street parking). Put the router in front of the window and my speed test resulted in 5 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload inside the car. Did the cloud settings and Viola! The cloud connection is DONE. Straight forward. The instructions were clear. Now I have 7/24 recording (driving and parking) and receive a push notification. Don’t plan to subscribe to the cloud. 10 min daily lives, 100 downloads per month, and push notifications are free!
Just thinking about getting a hotspot (maybe the nighthawk, unlocking it, and use the 2gb/ $10 plan. Just for the push notification.
So far, it provides all features as described. I Will update after using it for a longer time!!
Update 07/19/2019:
Have it for a week or so and working perfectly. Yesterday hardwired it with the PMP. Waited for hardwiring till I received my jump starter for any bad scenario. The overnight recording went perfect (motion sensor) no heating issues. Cut down was at 12V. I guess it recorded the whole night the active traffic.
So far I am very satisfied.
Original review:
This is my second dashcam. I received the first one from a friend and just got used to dashcams. Once I got my new Subaru BRZ it was time to get something good on the market. Did my research and positive reviews balance more than the negatives? In addition, one of my friends is also using Blackvue DR900 and was is very happy. As seen in the picture it came with everything that was advertised. The dashcam box was sealed but the PMP was not. I guess it is just sold like that. Instructions were straight forward. I got the 16GB bundle but also purchased the popular 128 GB micro SD from another company. Wanted to give a try. Downloaded the Blackvue view on the pc, Formated (Fat32) the sad card (Blackvue Software automatically Formates in fat32). Then downloaded the app on the iPhone.
Next, I installed the front and back camera. I also bought the popular adapter for the Blackvue (as seen in the picture) and attached the camera to the rearview stem. Since the pairing between the cam and phone was very fast I used live view to properly attach and align both the front and rear cam. Recording started and I checked the quality. Very very nice. It was a shiny day so the quality was top.
Next, I took my card and downloaded the most recent firmware and installed the card again to the cam. Turned on the ignition and 1 minute later it was updated.
This is all that I did within the first hour of receiving the cam. I will definitely update my review. I will check for any rebooting, overheating, or night-view issues.
My first impression is very good. I hope it continues working like this. Thanks
