BlackVue DR900X-2CH With 256GB MicroSD Card 4K UHD Cloud Dashcam Built-In Wi-Fi, GPS, Parking Mode Voltage Monitor LTE Via Optional CM100 LTE Module Review

There is truth to the statement "you get what you pay for". This is my 3rd dash cam and it is the most simple and user friendly dash camera I've ever used, so far. What's even better is the fact that it works every single time I drive. I also love the fact that the camera connects to the Cloud when I drive via my phone's hotspot and then when I get home it automatically connects to my home's wifi instead. My previous 2 dashcams couldn't do that! The camera is pricey, but it's worth it, 100%!

I bought this in April of this year. I watched some YouTube videos about this camera. The only problem I ha e with this camera is overheating issues. When the BlackVue gets hot, it shuts off then turns back on. The LED lights sometime come on and off when they want . I cool the dashcam with the Air conditioner from the car. For the amount of money I spent I would expect better stability.

I got this cam last year in June. Apparently this was right around the time a lot of reviews were coming out about the firmware messing their cams up, so I never updated it. It worked for a while up until I lost two car batteries over it. That's mostly my fault for assuming turning parking mode off would mean it wouldn't draw power, but it did. I wasn't a fan of process of getting footage from the camera to the phone. It felt really laggy and was kind of annoying to scroll through many 1 minute

I bought the 900s version and installed 2 of them in my car and year or two back. One has failed, probably heat. It took me days and i had to pull apart all the paneling to run all the lines for the car. I got it done but it was a bunch of work. BlackVue suggests we hardwire it and i did. Now they created a newer version that handles heat better but changed the power cables. WTF, I really don't look forward to tearing through my car again to install this. I bought it so i'll do it, but if you…

Even if you hardwire the unit, its Parking Mode does not work if your car battery's voltage is/goes down below 11.8v because the unit's built-in power cut-off f

This camera is top quality. It should be because it costs top money. What's not top quality is how the app handles videos. You can't retrieve videos through the app. They really want you to buy the extra gear and get a wireless account to retrieve your pictures through the cloud. You can save files to your phone but they go into internal storage with no way to move them into your accessible file system.Also, the whole camera comes wrapped in plastic except for the lens for some reason Mine came

Pros;-Quality is excellent and I love the fact that it just starts recording automatically a few seconds after starting the car.-Also love having the front and rear caneras. I’ve already recorded and reported to the police an aggressive driver, sending them the video as evidence.Cons;-Expensive, but I think the higher cost is a result of making it better than other dash cams.-Front camera is 4k but the angle is so wide and covers so much area, the final resolution ends up looking more like…

My DR900S gave up after 4 years. Instead spending the $150-200 for repair I decided to get the new 900X-plus. My wife has one in her car and it’s working great. Super clear videos where you can read plates etc without any issues.Install was easy seamless just in 15 seconds. Easily did the firmware upgrade and started checking the specs.I realized that the front camera videos are blurry. You can easily see the pixelation. Cross checked with my wife’s cam videos nothing even close. Wine is like a

I like everything about this camera except the fact I cannot stop it from entering parking mode while it's actually on and not moving. I know some other models probably had the option called "Auto switching to parking mode" to do that, but there is no such option in my camera.An annoying work around is to disable parking mode. However, this results in a reboot. Then before turning the car off, I have to turn parking mode back on, which means another reboot.Maybe I'm just being really picky, but

The camera itself is prefect size to fit behind my rear view mirror out of my line of sight and capture traffic and other things as I drive. The biggest issue I have is that the blackvue app for this product is lacking, it feels sort of slow and clunky @ around a 500$ price point seems like a miss. I will say that the app is convenient for transferring videos directly to your mobile device by connecting to the WiFi created by the camera when it is on.Overall a 3* review because the camera is at

I'm a long time Blackvue customer. Their cameras keep getting better and better. This is best by far! I easily installed it myself and made it so it is powered all the time using the alternate Batt and ACC wiring harness. I love the setting options that are now provided such as battery level checking which will make the unit power off if the battery drops to a certain level. I also like the ability to set whether to overwrite old Event files if the SD card gets full. That is huge! I was always…

The camera is a solid and well built unit in deed. The ease of setting up is straightforward and easy to set up for a first time user as long as the directions are followed. I purchased this unit along with the 4G SIM card transmitter separately to get the most of this system’s ability. Unfortunately the front facing camera’s picture quality was not as described. This unit describes the front facing camera to be of the highest resolution between the two. but that proved to not be the case (in…

I purchased 4 of these cameras and all but one are working. The camera that was purchased from LECTRO (Battery Boy) was DOA so I was able to return immediately through Walmart. The replacement camera LECTRO sent worked for about 3 months before it started powering down and would not stay on. None of the other three cameras are having issues in the vehicle that this camera was installed. I contacted Blackvue and was informed that I had to work with the distributor in order to get a warranty…

Took this POS to a professional audio/tint place. Tech who installed it has the 700 series model. He advised me that the 128G storage card was missing. He also mentioned that of all of the installs that he as done with BlackVue dashcams, they never arrived in a brown box that was generic. He questioned if this was a refurbished unit. I paid them $125 to install a defective unit that cost over $500. So pissed right now. Thinking about cancelling my Walmart account.that pissed off!Update: Walmart

I bought the memory card with the camera back in the days before reading the comments that the maximum memory it can accept is 256 GB. So I thought to give it a shot with the 512 GB that I bought and viola ! it worked and booted.Doing the hard mode and passing the cables from the fuse box to the front camera and passing hiding the rear camera wire ended up being a very tedious work. But it was worth it as you don't have any wire hanging around. (2 stars lost for that)My major problem is…

I bought this dash cam to outfit it in my new car. The front camera is nice, slim, and concealable and the video quality is very good, at least for the front facing camera. The rear facing camera has issues only after 3 months of use and BlackVue’s support is awful. If you want a company that supports their products and backs their products, look elsewhere.In my previous vehicle, I used a basic 1080p Roav dash cam that work fine for all intents and purposes. After two years, the camera crapped…

I replaced an old dash cam with this one, and I couldn’t be happier. I love the design, and the installation was super simple.

The camera works well and was easy to install. I actually purchased two of these within 15 days of each other for my two cars, as I wanted to test the first one out before ordering a second one. It’s expensive but worth the investment in my view just given the risk of not having video if something goes wrong. I am glad I have it seeing how people drive in New York. App works well and is intuitive.

It doesn't have manual record button in case you want to record separately in an urgent event . You have to dial into your phone to do so.

I bought this dashcam based on some reviews I saw on youtube. The picture quality is really good. Installation is not bad at all. The app is barely OK but the cloud service is garbage. I may have got caught up in a transition to a major update to the firmware and the cloud, but I think I have spent more time on the phone with support then using the camera. Here are my points I would like to make public:1) The camera runs HOT, to the touch. I went to go try and fix an issue with it connecting to
