Lucky I saved the difference in price with the woolworths gift cards I got today :)
I've marked my deal as expired and put a link to this one
I want to upgrade the SD card to 64/128GB. What brand are they?
Hi the SD cards Pittasoft cards which are supplied by the manufacturer.
Excellent!
And is the IR worth the extra cost (DR650GW-2CH-IR)?
Isnt the IR for interior recording replacing the rear view cam. Would depend if you wish to view interior or rear view.
I've put a Sandisk U1 into my blackvue and I've had no problems with it. You can probably find a better deal for a microsd card.
additionally, I'm not sure how much utility you would get out of a 128GB card in a blackvue. Since it overwrites itself it doesn't matter how large it is. If there is footage you need to retrieve you do it there and then, rather than leaving it till later, but that's just me.
The larger the card, the less overwriting so the memory card should last longer
I've gone and ordered one of the Sandisk memory cards made specifically for dash cams.
The only downside is the maximum capacity is only 64GB at the moment - https://www.sandisk.com/home/memory-cards/microsd-cards/high…
Futu Online on Ebay are part of the 20% off tech sale ATM and you can purchase a 64gb card from them for only $23.20 delivered when using the code CLICKMORE - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/360709852484?_trksid=p2057872.m27…
Good choice, I've been running this chip for 2 weeks, faultless so far and with some warm days.
Previously used samsung evo with regular problems and eventual failure.
I ordered it after reading this is the only memory card in a capacity >32GB that the 'Authorised' BlackVue dealers guarantee will work without any issues other than the Pittasoft cards. I can't find/remember the site which had it though.
Ignore that second link to a mem card on Ebay - it isn't the same card as the first link
I bought mine from Amazon just the other week and went back to their website on the weekend to buy another one, however they no longer post to Australia. I ended up buying from this seller - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/172142906134?_trksid=p2057872.m27…
Disagree, I have the blackvue and a 64gb chip with full motion detection when parked records about 14 hours of footage with highest resolution setting.
As 128gb would give double this.
Regardless of whether or not the camera is set to record constantly or only on motion, there are going to be less writes on a larger capacity memory card when compared to a smaller capacity memory card.
Really want to upgrade my 2011 purchased DR400G-HD but struggling to justify the cost as I only paid $180 back then. I can't see why the price has doubled in that time.
Pittasoft shut down all the cheap Korean E-Bay sellers, and the prices went through the roof.
I'm in the same boat as you. Will likely end up with something other than a Blackvue
How do these compare to Lukas dash cams?
Great deal, ordered one. Been looking at this model for quite some time, excellent reviews (it was hard to resist the 805s and G1Ws).
And the support from automotive superstore is excellent, got John on livechat right now :-)
Thanks!
Thanks ordered a second blackvue 650 2CH for my 2nd car
Yeah I just ordered one of these for my train, which I can also afford.
Sorry mate, we're a 2 car household, I drive 1 car to work, my other half drives our baby and herself around… not sure that makes me rich?
I've had an unprovoked ice addict attack my car at traffic lights on central coast NSW, I've had car hit a few times whilst parked and people driving off leaving me with insurance excess to pay.
Not clear on what point you're trying to make. I wish I didn't need to spend this sort of money on a dashcam.
Sorry not having a go at you - just reminded me a lot of a Simpsons quote :)
Good price, and a decent camera. Mine unfortunately died 11 months in, but was replaced under warranty without hassles. I'm tempted to get another for the wife's car, but I'm waiting to see what Vicovation comes out with. Day vision IQ is decent, but night vision (whilst good compared with most competitors) isn't great. You'd really struggle to pick out number plates etc from the rear camera at night, and both are really bad when it's raining for picking out details. The rear camera has a lower frame rate as well as lower resolution. I guess they are the compromises to get a dual camera set up.
Also, my car's got a panoramic sunroof, and in summer, the Blackvue doesn't cope with the heat on 30+ days.
There seems to be limited experience with 128gb cards that are not Pittasoft, so they may not work properly.
Some people are saying the Power Magic Pro shuts off at too low a voltage, so it may kill your battery in the long run if you use it in parking mode for extended periods repeatedly. After using it this way for a year, I now have to replace my car battery, but it's a 5 year old car, so it was probably due for a change anyway. It has certainly protected the battery enough to never have any troubles starting the car.
Anyway, the above are small caveats (no camera is perfect), so despite this, it is a very solid choice, and a good price to boot.
Just a side note if you want to run the camera for long periods when the car is off the best solution is something like this https://automotivesuperstore.com.au/cellink-b-cellink-b-s2-1… granted they are a bit expensive though.
Fair point and interesting device. Does it have a switch so that you can turn it off (eg so you don't record in your own garage)? I might consider it at a later stage.
i've been looking at the koonlung k1s plus a cellink b. waiting for another sitewide ebay deal or might just use a voucher i earned via reaching a sales target… the k1s has a higher resolution rear camera and, in turn, higher frame rates. it's more compact, too. no capacitor, though, unfortunately. the important thing to keep in mind is how well a unit can perform in differing conditions and this blackvue model (rear unit, in particular), though pretty, just isn't up to the task. the power magic is handy but only for very short time frames. half an hour, i think, so practically useless. no offense to the rep, just saying.
H Rep,
Keen on buying but the Power Magic Pro isn't really recommended for my car (Bmw F30) are you able to bundle the multi safer instead?
If it's of any help, I've got a powermagic pro in my F20, when parked for prolonged periods just get an alarm that something was using battery, but no hiccups 10 months of use later
I was wondering if I connect this to a 10000mAh portable battery while the car is in idle, how long can it last?
Just ordered one, will it be shipped today by chance I'm also in Sydney.
Darn just got the the 2ch for $470 last week! Oh wells, all good. Great camera though.
Been spending hours trying to work out which SD cards the Blackvue will not have problems with.
Any recommendations on what to get in 64Gb or 12GB capacity?
Also with the 2CH model, do you need a memory card for each cam or is it a single card that records both?
Single card taht records both.
Rep,
For the 2CH - DR650GW-2CH
Option: Polorising Filter ($98rrp) +$80.00
Does this come with FRONT ONLY or is it F+R?
Thanks.
Hi the Filter is only for the front camera.
:D
If only for front camera, why the Blackvue Dash Cam 1-CH shows Polarising FIlter ($49rrp) + $40.00 and Blackvue Dash Cam 2-CH shows Polorising Filter ($98rrp) +$80.00?
Thanks
