Works well but broken in 6 months

published

Bought this to upgrade my old dash-cam. It works well, connects to the app well, no complaints. However six months in and the connection to the mount is broken (on the device end) - constantly pops off the mount. The warranty process is long and convoluted, plus loop holes galore where they make it clear they will not fix if it is deemed "customer broken" - which gives them quite a lot of discretion. Will look to different brands in the future.



Purchased in July 2021.

I bought Mivue 790 from Catch of the day only $100. It works perfectly, better than I thought, live view loading quick, easy to setup, high resolution video, sharp images. Mivue 790 works better Mivue 800 which I bought last year



Purchased in December 2021 at Catch for $100.00.

Good Dashcam, but what is it with JERKY LiveView?

Good Dashcam, but what is it with JERKY LiveView?
speed warnings=good
gps=good
quality of recording=good
setup=easy

Liveview on iphone with 2 to 5 seconds delay is practically useless

Does anyone have same problems with live view?

Doesn't do what I require

published

Quality of the videos is fine and easy to use . But the Dashcam is useless to me as I can't edit any vids with sound and in fact I only have sound when using Mivue manager and if I save a file to PC it has no sound.
As I have always edited the files to put on my YouTube page this is totally useless for the purpose.
I have called support and they tell me that that is the way it is and all Navman dashcams are the same.
Even not being able to save a file to PC and retain sound is a joke, this goes in the cupboard and I will find one that does the job as well as my previous $40 Ebay job. The picture wasn't as good but they did what was required, just seems like commonsense to me.

Questions

I recently purchased a Navman MiVue 790 with a SmartBox and had it professionally installed. The camera and Smart phone are correctly connected. Very happy with quality and operation but I have two questions:
1) I can transfer files from the camera to the phone however, when attempting to upload the latest Firmware it continually fails?

2) Although the camera should commence recording when starting the engine, at times I have to do a manual start.
I would appreciate your advice,

Thanks.

Good value dashcam

published

I was pretty happy with my mivue 388 which still works after more than 5 years so I looked at the mivue 790 when I decided to upgrade.
Like my older mivue this was easy to set up.
I'm happy with the functions and features and the ease of turning off those you don't need.
The camera takes good footage and the wifi makes it easy to download and save footages.
I just hope this would come with more clips to help with mounting the wiring more neatly.

I love it..!

published

After having several dash-cams over the years, I finally gave up on my crappy Navig8er and bought this Navman MiVUE790 (WiFi) on the weekend. From the moment I plugged it in it looked better. It has a clear easy to use touch screen, so no more annoying little buttons to press. The touch screen is easy to navigate around and adjust. It shows your GPS speed on the screen, when approaching a speed camera it tells you what the speed is and reminds you what speed you are doing. Having a smart phone app it can do system updates. And you can view the videos on your phone via the WiFi facility. This is what all dash cams should be like.

Questions & Answers

LLR

LLRasked

I received my MiVue790 today and set it all up.... it works, but it only recorded part of the journey, both going out and coming back home. Only a short journey, but on the way out it recorded one 3 min video and on the way home it recorded 2... which still wasn't the whole journey. 32 gb brand new (and formatted) Sandisk ultra.... camera was on, but the whole journey doesn't appear on the camera itself, or on MiVue Manager on the pc. Thoughts? Regards, Lisa.

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for posting your query.

Sorry for the troubles. The problem could be caused by your microsd card. Please use a microSD card that is designed to be used in dash cameras such as SanDisk Endurance series, and Kingston Endurance series. Faulty or incompatible microSD cards can cause your device to not function correctly, may arise problems with the recorded files, freeze, and even cause the device to intermittently turn off or even not power on.

You may refer to the link below to check our recommended memory cards:

Hope this helps. Otherwise, feel free to contact our support team on [email protected]

Kind Regards,

Thanks for your reply. I especially went out and got the SanDisk Ultra, as it's a Class 10, with the little 1 icon....? Anyway, second and third day in, all the appropriate files seem to be there and everything working well. If I have any more issues, I will try a different card. Cheers!!!

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for getting intouch.

Indeed try other card, please. If the microSD card is not an endurance type like, it is more subjectable to early memory failure due to less write cycles and stress with constant recording on memory cells.

Kind Regards,
The Navman Team

Hi Oscar,

We are sorry to hear that your video is in reversed.

For us to properly assist you, may we know if you are referring to the recording screen of your device or just the recorded videos?

For now, we recommend performing a hard reset on the device by poking the shutdown button beside the USB port (on the top of the device) to shut down the device. Leave the device off for 5 seconds then press and hold the Power button to turn it on.

Please also ensure that you are using a compatible memory card. Problem such as this could be caused by a faulty or incompatible memory. More information can be found here:
