Fantastic Quality & After service

published

Picture quality (crystal clear number plates) is the best I have seen. Best product in the market. I had a small issue with the memory card and they were quick to replace the card for me. Great to see they have a solid support team behind them. The Power Magic Box also works well and the camera stays on most of the time in park mode

I liked is so much I bought another

published

My wife and I both have S550 mustangs, a friend of mine has the S900 2 channel and recommend I consider them, I looked into it. I was interested in the quality, ability, how user friendly it was and ease to fit, it ticked every box, ease to fit could not have been easier, honestly and it looks like a factory fit, even cane with a clip tool. I bought them on eBay with the park mode box so we have peace of mind when we park up and leave the vehicle, video quality is excellent, sound on or off and the app support is simple to use.



I highly recommend this product, shop around and self install and its awesome value for money, YouTube to see how to DIY

Fantastic add on to my new Mazda 6

published

The internet connection to my mobile through the device is easy to set up.
Quality of the footage downloaded is tops.
All in all, worth the cost to provide the peace of mind.
An early connection problem to my vehicles power supply causing frequent camera shut downs was easily diagnosed and corrected.
Great back up service.

warranty.

I gave this a 5 star because of the warranty and amount of support you get after.
I had 2 faulty 900s, but BV happily sent me new ones, then the cable died, and they also sent me a new one.

cameras ok when it works

published

Purchased this camera in 2018 was a bit wary after i looked at some people reporting the unit shutdown after it got hot but this seems to have been fixed i've not had this happen to me but then again i don't park in the direct sun for hours if i can help it. I use this camera with a cell link battery and seems to be ok. The camera works fine for me most of the time however the support seems pretty poor for an expensive camera. I have an iphone and its on IOS 13. At the moment i can't control the camera with my phone as the firmware of the camera wont connect to my phone. some new security measure with IOS however blackvue are still yet to issue an update to fix this. Its disappointing for their flagship product.

Great camera.

published

After an eBay generic that failed less than 12 month, I got a mini 0806, which although was a lot better than the eBay generic ones, the GPS took time to lock and after 3 years has died. I stumbled upon autobahn sale and snatched a bargain. GPS locks in about 30 seconds and parking mode with the power magic pro is handy. Only down side I can think of is its size which is more than twice that of the mini 0806 and only has one card slot.

Easy to set up in both Wifi and Cloud, parking mode an excellent feature, picture quality on both cameras is great, remote tracking is a great feature, those at home can see where you are and the driving conditions takes the worry out of long trips alone.

Happy Customer

published

Hi, I had been thinking about installing a dash camera for sometime now. I had it installed by the company that I purchased the camera through. From what I have watched of some of the recorded footage has been very good.
So far I have not had any issues with the connectivity of the camera.
I was impressed with the the welcoming phone call from Blackvue

I'm am reaching my senior years so I wanted a product that would be easy to install and operate. The BlackVue ticked both those boxes and now it just operates in the background with just a small amount of maintenance each month.

Brilliant

published

Don’t waste your money buying cheaper brands as I did, the DR900S-1CH is simply the best. Day time video clarity is I believe second to none and the night time clarity would with out a doubt be the best I’ve seen. I self installed using the PMP by just following the install instructions & video, easy as.Everything else from mounting the dash cam to viewing the recorded video is a breeze, only taking a few trips to adjust the settings to my liking. I brought the 1ch model because of the dark tinting on the rear window on my 4X4, so the only criticism that I have is that a rear camera can’t be added later on if I require one, (maybe this could be looked at by BlackVue for future models). Overall this is a brilliant dash cam.

Good picture but terrible cloud connectivity

published

Recently purchased 4k BlackVue DR900S dash cam. The picture quality is excellent. However, I have had no end of trouble trying to connect remotely and use the cloud (which is what I wanted - rather than physically removing replacing a memory card). While the camera itself is ok - they have not got remote access or cloud capability right. I do not reccomend this product if remote access or upload to cloud is important.

Well - You Really Need To RTFM. Yes. Really carefully.

published

The two cameras took 2 hrs to install with the independent parking power supply. The WiFi setup is far from intuitive, and then setting up the Cloud connection is even more opaque.

But, now both cameras are working, I am amazed. They leave my dead Garmin camera for dead. The box has all you need; none of those 100cm long power cables which are useless. It even has spare adhesive pads & cable clips!

Blackvue Dashcam - Superior Product

published

Checked out multiple dashcams and in the end settled for the Blackvue 900s.

If you want superior video quality (day & night) with excellent features and user friendly this should be the camera of choice.

Was that impressed with the dashcam, I have booked in my second car to get the same camera.

Questions & Answers

Benjamin C.

Benjamin C.asked

The playback during parking mode is almost 1 hour long not the 3min setting that I set. And these's no audio. The playback is also in super fast forward speed like 16X or 32X. Why?

1 answer
BlackVue
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.

What is the darkest % of tint will the back camera work thru?

BlackVue Australia T.BlackVue

Hi Michael,

During day time recordings the rear camera will not have any issues, with the recording it will just provide a sunglasses effect to the video quality.
However at night it does limit the amount of light coming through which can create a poorer quality image.

Hi guys Im ver much considering buying the Blackvue DR900S
And I wanted to know how easy it is to show the footage on my laptop, and save the file.
Also I have a fully black car inside and out and it gets super hot here in Adelaide 45degree summers for days on end.
Will this be a worry if Im buying this dash cam ?

1 answer

BlackVue Australia T.BlackVue

Hi Elliot,
Thanks for your question.
There are 3 ways to extract the footage from the DR900S camera;
1. SD Card
Simply remove the card from the camera and connect to the PC > Open BlackVue PC Player and select the required file.
2. WiFi
Connect your smart phone to the camera network > Open the BlackVue App > Select WiFi connection > Download the required file to your smart phone.
3. BlackVue Cloud (Requires an internet connection)
PC Cloud Player or BlackVue Cloud in the App > Select your camera from the available cameras > Select the required file > Upload the file to your BlackVue Cloud account > Download to your smart phone or PC

The DR900S is rated to 85*C with the latest firm ware. If the camera reaches this temperature it will shut down to protect the internal components. For most users this doesn't present an issue but in extreme cases the camera can reach this temperature. Many factors are involved including camera settings and external environment so it isn't possible to provide a clear cut answer, however for most users this isn't an issue. The BlackVue cameras are often used on mining vehicles in extreme conditions without issue.

Hope this above information is usfull
