Review on πŸ“· BlackVue DR590X-1CH Full HD Wi-Fi Dashcam with Parking Mode Support and 32GB microSD Card by Mark Estrada

Revainrating 2 out of 5

No manual recording and no battery drain

Phenomenal product as a DVR. Handles the Texan heat exceptionally well, is invisible from the outside of the car and looks like a factory option. The BlackVue 590X is said to have a built-in battery monitor that largely eliminates the need for an additional costly hard-wired battery pack. camera on the vehicle. HOWEVER, I have had serious battery drain issues since installing this unit despite setting the voltage control to 12v and setting the timer to 6 hours. The next morning the camera drained the battery so much that the car stalled when starting. My car battery is less than 3 years old when I write this. The only reason I bought the X version was the battery off timer. Disappointed in this aspect. There is also no option to record manually. This is a major disadvantage as the built-in collision or event detection does not cover all obstacles encountered while driving.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
