Reviews of BLACKVUE dash cam

I just bought a new Rav 4 and paid $4500 for the protection package, tinting and dash cam. The BlackVue 800 Gold, front and rear cameras, fitted by Pacific Toyota in Cairns was $1500.

Blackvue hardwired front and rear was $800 total installed by pro audio shop + $140 for a Blendmount. Best $940 I’ve ever spent.

I am running the BlackVue and so far I am happy with my purchase.

Blackvue will also be grand, and fits a bit better in my ND with it tucked behind the rearview mirror so I dont take up any valuable windshield space.

I have a Blackvue front/rear. Solid units and they stand up to the nasty summer heat here.

I've got a Blackvue DR970x-2ch. The newer version of it is the DR979x-2ch Plus II. This has the Sony Starvis 2 sensor like recommended in other posts. They're very reliable cameras since they don't have batteries in them. Dash Cams with batteries stand a higher chance of exploding in the heat of a parked car. Make sure you use a high endurance micro sd card since the camera deletes the oldest videos as time goes by. The card will have a ton of reads and writes so the basic cards won't cut it. You set the cameras up with your phone and the images from the cameras will show on the screen. This is how you'll align the cameras to make sure they get the best view. Check the videos on the card or the live feed from the cameras from time to time to make sure everything is still working.

Blackvue DR770X LTE

Expensive and has a pay monthly sim but its great.

Good picture quality day and night, front and rear, hardwired, impact and motion recording.

It automatically records during journeys and condenses it into 1 or 2 min chunks.

They get uploaded to an app you can watch and download.

I’m using a BlackVue 900. I had it professionally installed in 2018 and it’s still working flawlessly. Apart from the sound it makes when it starts it’s unnoticeable when in the car. Only regret I have is where the battery unit (optional extra) is mounted underneath the passenger glove box. It makes a bit of noise due to the trim not being up to holding the weight.

I use BlackVue dashcams in all my cars, 7 years on the oldest one. The front and back cameras on the newer models are upto 4k or upto 120 fps. They can be hardwired in so they function automatically with a parking mode and battery monitor so it won't drain battery. They have gps, and you can set them up with cloud and lte subscription so that you can remotely access/track/view from anywhere.

I have a BlackVue 750 in my ‘19 installed right after I got it and its quality is great and I highly recommend it but it is pricey.
