Blackvue BV-DR900S-2CH-16 Dash Cam, Safety

Good quality picture, front and back. GPS works very well, and the viewer allows you to see exactly where the recording was as well as speed.Easy to connect through a phone, and then set up a connection with your house WiFi to upload files when you get home. (Although you'd need a Power Magic, or similar, to keep the upload going once the car is turned off.)If you've got plenty of data on your phone it will upload any "event", which you can adjust the sensitivity of detecting, immediately your phone has connection.The supplied power lead, with a 12V plug attached, is easily long enough to reach the boot of even a big estate. This allows you to use a socket in the boot and tuck the wires away neatly.

Great dash cam! I have been using it for a few months now. The picture/video quality is really good even at night for both cameras. The speaker volume isn't obnoxious and loud. Setting it up in my car was a bit tricky, but got the job done. Note that it's for my specific car that the setup wasn't super easy. The car has a big sensor box in the middle of the windshield, so the placement of the camera was a bit awkward. All the functions/features work well and so far has not succumbed to 100+ degrees of heat. The camera records sounds quite well too.The smartphone app is also decent. Though just note that changing the camera settings will reboot the camera, which can make reconnecting to the camera's wifi a time-consuming process. One more thing to note, be careful taking out the SD card. It may get stuck sometimes due to the design of the slot. So to prevent that in the first place, just gently push the card to pop it out.

good overall

Great camera. I wish the back was also 4k. Night vision is not that great though. My much cheaper dashcam has better night clarity.Though, the most annoying gripe I have is the mounts. Especially the front one. At a $500 price point, I'd expect an easily ajustable mount to change camera angles AND left/right rotation. The mount allows you to change the vertical angle but not left/right, which makes precise mounting way more crucial and a pain than it needs to be. My cheaper dashcams (over half the cost)came with easy to install/remove and adjust mounts. Although I took great care to make this Blackvue mount center and balanced as possible, I installed it ever so slightly at an angle and now my dash cam video looks slightly aimed to the right. I can't do anything about it (other than remove and reinstall) because this mount uses sticky adhesive that can't be easily moved and can't tilt left/right as already stated. Such a petty misalignment causing so much annoyance. The mount should be much more flexible and better engineered at this price point.As for the cloud feature, it is awesome. I purchased a hotspot device that stays in my car. It has a built in battery so it stays powered even when the car is off. I got mine at a big box store and am using a prepaid sim card to enable the 4GLTE service. Connected that to my Blackvue cam via wifi. Blackvue cam is connected to a Blackvue battery so it stays on even after the car is off. So I have car surveillance 24/7 from my phone or computer using Blackview's apps. Parking modes come in motion/collision detect, continuous 1 frame per second time lapse, and I believe parking mode can be disabled all together for nonstop normal recording. Both front and back cams can be on during parking mode. Free cloud plan is limited but can't bring myself to spend 10 bucks a month to look at my dashcam footage past the free 10 mins/day.

I was given a non functioning product that had the wrong power cord. I knew it was non functional because I was trying to replace my existing one which has good power. Very dissatisfied….. buyer beware.
