Review on Blackvue DR590W 2CH 16GB Dual Full HD Wi-Fi Dashcam: Keeping You Safe on the Road by Sadik Pinger

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works very well for me

Bought this a while ago (about a month?) and wanted to give my opinion. I installed it on a Pajero SUV and it was pretty easy to get everything working. . Lots of cable for the rear window and maybe more than enough for the front. I reinitialize the memory card about every week and haven't had any problems with it. The included SD card might provide a few hours of recording time before it starts overwriting the oldest files. Video files are divided into one-minute clips, and there are separate clips for each camera, front and back. I added a video from the front camera. The cameras are wide-angle, so you can see a lot on the sides. The downside is other cars have to be damn close to get license details. To watch the video you need to use an additional mobile device (I used an old cell phone) and connect to Blackview via Wi-Fi and the Blackview app. The problem is that if you use a Wi-Fi connection, you can't access the internet via Wi-Fi (standard practice in my Middle East country where I work). It takes about 5 minutes to start the phone and Blackview, connect and start the video after I start my car. Watching the video on the mobile phone is not required and Blackview records whether the mobile phone is connected via WiFi or not. It's pretty easy to transfer video files using a Wi-Fi connection and an application on a mobile phone to transfer the file to a computing device or video editing device. Requires a little trial and error, but is fairly intuitive. I saw a review that commented on the heat and haven't been in a hot environment to give my opinion. I'm in a region with very hot summers and I'm sure I'll be doing some extreme testing soon. Overall, I'm happy with the performance so far.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Reliability
