Blackvue 2 Channel dash camera
I keep on coming back to Blackvue to purchase their latest cameras. Just bought my third 2 channel camera, this time to take advantage of the 'over the cloud' option. The second camera I bought had an improved resolution. The first Blackvue camera I bought suited my needs perfectly. All purchases were made online using the dealer locator from Auto BlackBox. Their service and after sales assistance is first rate. Don't mess about, go buy a Blackvue camera. I didn't regret it, I am sure you wont either.

Fantastic, Friendly, Helpful, Unbeatable Price, Experienced, Top Product and Service!
Thank God for Google and John from Automotive Superstore.
If I didnt google for the BlackVue Dash Cam I would have ended up paying $1350 for a similar dashcam from a Car Dealer.
Secondly... having chatted with John from Automotive Superstore my shopping experience was an absolute breeze and his advice/customer service was splendid. I hadnt received such honest advice for a while now and it was absolutely refreshing to find a person who knew what he was talking about.

Just as they advetised, it performs as per their specifications...
Out of the box, easy for a novice to install. Software to review the footage performs really well with great definition and frame rate. Quality of footage is awesome and would really be an advantage in an insurance situation. It will be your defence if somebody tries to claim you were at fault. A picture tells a thousand words.
Well done BlackVue on a product that more than matches the advertised data.

Excellent
Very pleased with the unit. Recording quality is exceptional - even at night. App (iOS) and Desktop software are easy to use also. In summary once installed it's pretty much set and forget, silently recording away until you need it - at which time I'm confident I'll have clear footage of any incident.

The right choice Dash Cam From Blackvue
After doing plenty of research on Dashcams, I decided to go with the BlackVue DR650S-2CH and I cannot be happier. I got it hard wired with the Power Magic Pro by Strathfield Vehicle Solutions who did the install at my house. The camera not only blends in with the car but it is very easy to use and it has a really good picture. I also love the parking function that records movement around the car while it is parked.

Perfect.
Flawless unit
Records and keeps me safe on the road
Already reported 12 incidents via the ease of downloading video clips and had two people fined for illegal parking blocking me in
Excellent support
Firmware updates keep the product running well
Handles Australian conditions
Not cheap but you get what you pay for
My only gripe is 720p rear camera but I can live with it as it's clear enough.

DR650S: The proper dash cam.
Supreme dash cam system. Installation is easy. Really no bad frills and the application is also helpful. I had a miVue but just didn't live up to the performance and reliability that I expected. I am very glad that it doesn't get bad in the extreme heat. Happy to stay with this product!!

Excellent product!
I've had it for a little while now, and its had no issues what so ever. The video is crisp, it has front AND back cameras, and the cord is long enough to connect it to the front and back without getting in the way.
The app took a few minutes to get used too, but I figured it out quick and given that this is a set and forget type of camera, I haven't really used the app since my first test run.
Its got decent storage and can rollover prerecorded footage if your like me and don't want to start stacking storage cards!
Easily the best and most easy to use camera I have purchased.

Quality Camera, Great Features and Handles The Perth Heat.
I bought a Mini 0806 for my car and a DR-650S 2CH for my partner's. The Mini's case melted on the first warm day (33 Celsius) and I assume the battery got toasted as well, as I had to wire it permanent positive and turn it off manually. It still flipped out once every week and I have to reset it. Unfortunately it was not working when someone backed into my car at Bunnings... fortunately the paintless dent guy managed to sort it out for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, his fee was more than the price difference between the Mini and a DR-650S 2...Read more
CH... ...so... ... the moral of the story is to spend right the first time around. While I'm pulling over to restart the Mini, my partner has been able to enjoy blissful ignorance she even has a camera. The DR-650S just works day in and day out, capturing all with excellent clarity. After paying the paintless guy for the Mini 0806's unscheduled holiday, I pulled the plastic out and bought another DR-650S 2CH for me. Cars are too expensive to leave unprotected... or is it that people have no morals? I don't know... it's probably both. I also bought a Cellink B6. The box contents had me contact AutoBlackBox.com.au with a support question, and I was extremely satisfied with their response. Friendly, personable and quick to sort things out. I'm very happy with the DR-650S 2CH . Anyone want a slightly used Mini 0806??? ;-)1 comment

Wildly expensive and not worth the drama
The Wi-Fi wont maintain a connection for more than perhaps 2 minutes which makes it near impossible to actually download a file. Playback isn't compatible with their own software, its Jerky play back makes the files it generates useless in any proceedings, the controls are somewhat clunky. Months of running back to the installer has met with a nil result, dozens of emails to the manufacturer adjusting settings has met with a nil result, sent the cameras away to the Australian importer and another couple of dozen emails to them finally was sent...Read more
replacement cameras. New cameras are the same as the original. Owning them is an embarrassment having them fitted to my 2016 high end vehicle is even worse. In my opinion they are expensive junk that create drama and don't do what the advertising says they will. Simply, you think you're buying the best but only end up with disappointment. I'm particular with my car and if you are too save lots of money and buy something else.1 comment

Good camera(s), support has improved a bit, phone app still needs work
I already have one of the GW versions of this so was happy to buy the newer S version - there are minimal differences and the firmware in the S cannot be downgraded to the legacy version if desired. I was disappointed to find that, despite both coming with free cloud access, I couldn't put them both on the same account without paying a second camera fee - stupid idea which makes no sense to me.
We were originally looking to buy the truck version which has the weatherproofed rear camera as this is for a convertible - after getting the physic...Read more
al dimensions from BlackVue support we decided against as it would be too visible. I was disappointed not to get a reply from support about getting a shorter lead to link the front and rear cameras - I needed a 30cm instead of the 5m+ lead included - but managed to get one bespoke made from a local communications company. The phone app still has a very quirky interface, BlackVue clearly need to invest some time into good UI design but, once you are familiar with it, most things can be found fairly easily. I suspect the firmware in the S model is younger since it is not as stable as the GW, particularly with the WiFi connectivity. However, as I usually copy the files from the SD card to my computer directly and don't use the cloud yet, this isn't too much of an issue. There are plenty of options for setting up the various features of the cameras, LEDs, sounds, modes and etc., all accessed by the phone app, but they are mostly set-and-forget of nature. The image quality on both cameras is good, though the GPS seems to take about a minute to lock on at startup to provide speed readings. I have not used park mode yet but will once I have a battery protector to provide constant power.4 comments

Great camera
This is the second Blackview camera i recently purchased for my wife's new car. Already have a DR550-2ch in my car which paid for itself after someone sideswiped me and then said it was my fault, retracted their statement after they were sent the video by police.
The 650 model is much better than the 550, they are not the cheapest cameras out there but the image quality is superb.

Initial setup is not user friendly. Keeps crashing when setting up from mobile app. After several attempts, has to take the ss card out and use the of software to setup. Which finally worked. Still not too happy with how difficult it is to setup. Hopefully future updates will fix this.

Questions & Answers
Benjamin C.asked
While reviewing playback from the SDCard for my Blackvue DR900S-2CH, I noticed in parking mode the playback is almost an hour not 3min which I set. And the playback is in 16X or 32X fast forward speed with no audio. Why?
1 answer
BlackVue Australia T.BlackVue
Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for getting in touch with your query.
It sounds like your units parking mode has been set to Time Lapse recording instead of Motion & Impact detection.
This will make the camera record 1 frame per second for the duration of the parking time and then plays the files back at 30 frames per second so a 30 minute recording period is played back in a 1 minute file.
To change settings access the firmware settings and under the basic then recording tabs change the parking mode recordings.
If you require further assistance please get in touch on the number below.

After upgrade firmware, my blackvue DR650S-2CH can't connect to wifi, it says "wifi unavailable"
Can you help me about this problem ?

BlackVue Australia T.BlackVue
Hi Yorinaldi, Thanks for sending your query through. Typically for this error message disabling mobile data on Android based devices will resolve the issue. However if you are using a apple device then a network reset maybe required to get it back up and running. Can you confirm if this error message is occurring in your devices WiFi network list or when trying to connect through the app?

Casey R.asked
Hi since installing the device my car battery has been draining, is it connected to the car battery?
1 answer
BlackVue Australia T.BlackVue
Hi Casey,
Whether the unit is drawing from your vehicles battery is determined by how it has been installed.
If the unit was installed with the hard wiring Power Magic Pro kit, then the camera will draw from the vehicles battery.
However the Power Magic Pro has inbuilt voltage and timer cut off to ensure that the camera does not run the vehicles battery flat.
The voltage cut off setting can be adjusted on the Power Magic Pro itself to either 12V or 12.5V cut off.
If you require any assistance with how the devices work or would like to run something by our support team they can be contacted on the details below.
