Dual Camera DR650GW-2CH

Hi there, I have my 650-2ch for three years on three different vehicles. It worked perfectly on my Jeep SRT and Porsche Cayenne but not on my 2018 ford raptor. The problem is I have the power magic pro on, the camera is off right after the engine is off. I tried on and 6 hrs to infinity, none works. My aim is to let the parking mode on, and have this magic pro in case I’m leaving more than a week and I could switch to only record for 72 hrs. Now I removed the magic pro and keep the cam on 24/7. I dunno if you have any solutions based on my need?

Hi Ken,
It sounds to me that the wiring is not correct - make sure the RED wire is to IGNITION and the YELLOW wire it to CONSTANT.
If they are wired back to front, then you will receive the error that you are currently having.
Double check and let us know.
Thanks,
Tom.

Dual Camera DR650GW-2CH

Hi sir, when I inserted a new formatted sd card into my DR650, there is a message “sd card is initializing, please don’t don’t turn off the power”.

This message kept repeating for every 15 seconds, non stop till my patience wore off. I tried a few new sd cards, all same message.

Kindly advise.

Hi Ron,
Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your camera.
Please ensure you are using a genuine BlackVue SD card as some 3rd party SD cards are not compatible and will prevent the camera from operating correctly. These are available for purchase from any authorised BlackVue dealer and come with a 12 month warranty.
If the issue still persists you are welcome to return the camera for assessment using the link below.

Yes. You can get them from .www.autoblackbox.com.au/accessories/coaxial-cable/
- Note: although they advertise 0.5M / 6M / 10M / 15M Options, the shortest one available is actually 1.5 metres.

Do I get notified when my son unplugs the camera?

1 answer
BlackVue
BlackVue Australia T.BlackVue

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your question. The camera will not be able to send a notification once the power has been removed. However there is a tamper proof bracket available to prevent access to the cables and SD card.

Hi Ernest,
Sorry to hear about your BlackVue DR650GW.
If all the lights are off, it sounds like a power issue. Please check the connection for both the CIG plug and camera connection to ensure this is not the cause. Please feel free to contact our office for troubleshooting and options to resolve your issue.
Look forward to hearing from you,

Dual Camera DR650GW-2CH

Hello,
I bought a unit from one of the approved suppliers, all was fine upon installation. But it seems that after 2 shut downs it will not restart for at least 8 hours. I've installed this to only come on with the ignition, to which it works fine. Until say for example I drive to say the shops, park up and return after 15-20 minutes, it then does not turn on.

I've tried reformatting the Blackvue SD card that came with it, and disconnecting the power cable, but it will not reboot back up until the next morning.

This is not my first blackvue product and I'm now concerned about it's reliability, also as part of my insurance I need to make sure this works everytime.

Any suggestions? I've tired contacting the supplier and all they have offered is a refund (which will mean I have to re-install this through the car - around an hours work), I've requested just the units to be replaced but they will not offer this.

Dual Camera DR650GW-2CH

Hi,
I have just installed a BlackVue DR650GW-2CH truck connected to the R-100.
I cannot see the rear camera through the iphone app. nor will it record. I get a message stating to check the camera connection.
I can see the rear camera view through a monitor I have connected to the R-100.

If I connect the rear camera directly to the front camera, bypassing the R-100, everything is fine.

I have reinstalled firmware 1.011 and 2.007. This did not help.
I have also replaced the coax cable from the front camera to the R-100. Again this did not help.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Dual Camera DR650GW-2CH

My blackvue camera has suddenly stopped recording. Only the blue light for GPS is on. No more sound or voice. Disappointing as I had already sent it in to repair when the voice went shaky and incomprehendable. I have not done anything to it. One day I just realised i didnt hear the voice any more and saw it wasn't recording. What could cause this and is it repairable?

1 answer
BlackVue
BlackVue Australia T.BlackVue

Hi Natasha,
Sorry to hear your camera has stopped working. This could be an issue with the SD card. If the camera powers up without the SD card you should hear the prompt "No SD card, please insert the SD card" If the camera does not power up correctly, it will need to be returned for repair.

Hi there, glad I saw this post as exactly the same issue for me with my DR-650GW-2CH.
Worked fine for two years, then started rebooting/restarting, replaced the SD card and now just a blue GPS Light.
Did usual power down for a few hours and retried.
I too have bought new SD cards, reformatted using Blackvue tool. Didn’t work.

[directed at Blackvue] - How do I get this fixed? I am aware the 650gw is no longer produced, are there spare/replacement head units?

I have not heard of this before. Did the installer not check this as part of their task? There is no credible reason why it shoukd not work as I presume the onecthat came with it is a Pittasoft brand? If not, order 1 from an online blackvue stockist. I have only ever used blackvue-made sd cards. Good luck.

BlackVue
BlackVue Australia T.BlackVue

Hi ozkiwi,
I think it may be the SD card you are using. I can confirm genuine BlackVue cameras DO NOT ship with 4GB SD cards. Please make sure you are using a genuine BlackVue camera and genuine BlackVue (Pittasoft) Sd card.
Thank you,
Tom.

Dual Camera DR650GW-2CH

I bought my blackvue DR 650GW-2CH in November 2015 after a recommendation from my daughter and her boyfriend as they both bought one for their cars. All three have stopped working. Mine said the card was full. When we emptied the card it then wouldnt recognise it. We tried another card and had the same problem. I rang the company who installed the cameras for us, but was informed they no longer sell this brand as they have had exactly the same problems as we have had. They now sell the Thinkwear cameras. Is there anything I can do to fix the problem without having to buy another camera? Or do you know of anybody on the Central Coast who can fix it for me? Virginia

Hi Virginia,
We have 3 of the same camera in the family and have not had that problem. My wife's camera recently had a speaker issue and it was still under warranty. We sent it to Auto Black box Pty Ltd in WA and they fixed it. If yours is still under warranty get in touch with them. Otherwise ring them on 08 62675167 and ask for their advice. They were fantastic to deal with.
Hope this helps.

Can the BlackVue camera be detached easily? I got break into at underground parking (home) and last BlackVue dash cam got stolen. I wonder if the BlackVue front view cam can be detached easily every night when I come home and reattach it the next day when I drive.

Hi Joyce,
You can easily remove the BlackVue from it's bracket by pressing the lock button on the bracket. Just make sure you carefully unplug the power and coax cable from the camera.
Thank you,

Hi Joyce,
Tom has answered your question. I might just add that the unlock button if you don't know is up under the mounting bracket ring that holds the camera in place. If you have a rear camera then you need to disconnect the single cable and just firmly slide it out of its mount bracket.
Hope this helps.

Pete

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your question. If the power cable has checked out OK, it may be an internal fault with the camera itself.
I'd suggest sending the camera back to us for inspection.

When I pull the power cable from the camera I no longer get the shutting down voice notification. Also the date and time regularly fall behind, especially after a couple of days sitting. I have the power magic pro and it has been installed for about 18 months without these problems previously. Any idea why these are happening? and are they related?
