Load of Rubbish

published

I will be as objective as I can, It stopped working, dead as a door nail, took it back from where I bought it after only eleven months, no refund, no nothing, $232 down the drain, I was told that I did not have a qualified electrician install the dash cam so that void my warranty. ZERO STARS.



Purchased in February 2021 at JB Hifi Home for $232.00.

So disappointed

So disappointedSydney, NSW

BEWARE: Does not automatically record over old footage

published

Really disappointed to find out, after an accident that wasn't my fault, that my Navman MiVue 740 had stop recording over old footage four months earlier. So now I have no footage for the insurance company. I find it difficult to believe that they can't build a Dashcam that automatically records over old footage. This Dashcam is virtually useless. The quality of the footage is actually quite good. But this is all vitiated by the fact that it does not properly store the footage.

Purchased in January 2021.

Tech support lets this product down badly

published

Easy to install, but they sell the hard wire kit separately, setting up instructions are not that easy to read and if any problems and there overseas call centre tech support is useless and hard to understand, not too happy with the tech support but great footage.

Bit difficult to set up

published

I purchased this a few days ago, but find it difficult to set up, pushing buttons but getting nowhere, hope I haven't wasted my money, I got it on sale and thought it can't be this hard to set up...Yes I am reading the instructions but i still can't get it sorted, the instructions are showing icons that should be on the device but I haven't seen them, so maybe it only comes on when the car engine is running ? no matter how hard it is to set up I do love the NAVMAN range, they are the best quality around, I am just having set up difficulties with this particular item.

Purchased in July 2021 at Harvey Norman Retail Stores - Appliances for $138.00.

press event button lucky to get 2 seconds of needed video prior to pressing

published

Say you have an incident or close call you want to capture, if you do not press the event button within 2 seconds of it happening, you wont get the footage you need . you have to be lightning quick, unlike some other dash cams that will record further back from when you press the event button. Do a test your self if you have one, count to a stop watch, 1 second 2 second etc and when you get to nine press the event button, replay the footage you should get (as per instructions ) all 1-9, you might find you only get 8-9 before the event button was pushed. This is verified also by someone else On Whirlpool forum, To see it type in Navman 740 10 seconds and you will find it.

What more can I say? Super Clear Vision easy to use!

published

I purchased, Unboxed, inserted a 16GB Micro SD card (purchased separately), mounted it, plugged it in and away I went.
I decided to go with this camera after seeing the super clear footage from multiple users on Dash Cam Owners Australia.
It's the little things that make a product stand out. Whoever at Navman said "Hey why don't we put some adhesive clips in the pack so the cable is managed and looks good". Well Done, I have a little OCD like most people and this was a great Idea.

I was wanting to mount it up by the mirror off the screen and power it from 12v from the light source. From my experience the suctions break down with sunlight and they fall off the screen every few weeks.
Is there another lead available rather than the huge cigar lighter plug .. ?
Thank you

Owen Maughanasked

I have fitted a smart box to my 740. when the ignition is turned of how long does it record darkness there is 4 setting no time 12 hours 24 hours 36 hours. So if you record something do you have to save the files before locking your car because the camera stays on and records nothing. should it go to sleep and wake up if the car is suddenly moved and record what happens

Hi Owen,

Regarding the Parking mode, the dash camera will not record for 12 hours or for the time set on the Smartbox. It will only record once it detects motion or an impact.

The dash camera will start recording on Parking mode depending on the device settings such as the Auto Entry which sets the level for the G Sensor to activate the Parking Mode. This can be set by going to System Settings>Auto Entry. The parking mode will also start when the car stops moving for about 5 minutes.

Regarding the screen, you have the option to have it always on or to have it turn off automatically after recording starts. For the LCD settings, go to Settings>LCD Standby.

Kind Regards,
The Navman Team

Hi Sutho,

That’s a good question!

Actually, it depends on the size of your memory card. You may click the link below to check how many videos you can saved on your memory card.
