The Smartbox is a hardwire kit, which is designed to cut off power at your selected voltage, so having a battery pack in your case will…

@justanick Your quote seems reasonable, I’d probably charge a similar amount, depending on the car you have. It looks like they used the…

If you have a Blackvue B-130X, or the B-124 battery with the 3-wire hardwire cable for power, they’re both compatible with any dashcam…

The Blackvue dashcams are definitely overrated, but their support has always been good from my experience. It's also better to mention that…

Terrible dashcam

Curious why privacy is an issue? Theres no cloud/remote access capabilities on Viofo dashcams

Recording quality wise, they're pretty much on par. Blackvue has better cloud capabilities (but this means buying an ongoing data sim, and…

Agreed, no one else cares about barrel designs as much as aussies do - which is why Blackvue is the only brand that does so well in Aus,…

I've installed several Uniden's, including this model and they haven't really improved with this "2024 model". I would say Viofo A229 Plus…

If you need 4CH and/or not caring too much about parking mode - then Vantrue is a good option. If you don’t need 4CH, then I’d…

What car do you have? You should take it back, they might’ve used the wrong fuse, sounds like a fuse that switches off after a certain…

Don’t be confused with last year’s model, the non-plus one, with an older sensor. Blackvue DR970X PLUS is the one that came out a few…

I’m quite certain ANZ has your money, I’ve been in the same situation before. Lodge a case with AFCA.

I’d look at the Viofo range, but you’ll be looking at the a front only camera for your budget, like the a119 MINI 2. If you want…

Most dashcams with parking mode *should* capture the incident, especially if it’s by a large truck (bigger impact). You are right, it…

If you’re after a dashcam with the basic features, such as driving recording, parking mode, app connectivity - then no extra benefits.…

LTE is to keep the dashcam online via a data sim to use their cloud functionality. Wi-fi is used to connect to your phone via the Blackvue…

I agree, don't do it!

Update - Technician said it was a faulty PCB, so AO/Bosch has agreed to replace the unit. It was a good customer experience from both…

Same model? Mine doesn't start the cycle at all, despite trying to open/close the door multiple times.

Bought this unit two weeks ago…was fine until yesterday, and now it won’t start the wash (door lock error) have to wait until tomorrow…

In addition to the above, better app UI & connectivity, motion & impact parking mode, more options in settings (such as adjusting…

What do you mean? Plus, not all cars have a rear wiper.

Now that you mention it - I always see very limited stock or simply out of stock/backorder on their website, regardless of having a sale.…

What car do you have?

The N5 Dual uses a cheaper GalaxyCore GC8613. It is true 4K 8MP sensor but, won't be as good as Starvis 2.

The A139 Pro 3ch is on sale, as per this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/852180

Having to use different fuse sizes is a euro car thing - almost all Asian cars will only need one type of fuse size. Either way, finding…

I know some brands are particular with the hardwire kit you use, so I just avoid issues by recommending my customers to get a hardwire kit…
