I have tested many dashcams (Thinkware, Nextbase, Garmin, Nexar, Viofo) and I settled for BlackVue only for the 1 reason that is cloud. This purchase was my 4th BlackVue dashcam and 1 of the biggest reason that is form factor. Well it does that best and that is pretty much it. When it comes to other features of this dashcam, it’s not ready for the market yet. In my opinion it’s just a testing phase for BlackVue as it’s cheaper version of testing and not wasting money for company and it comes out of consumer’s pocket.
Camera have many issues like Wifi connectivity, audio issues and biggest one is Video quality.
Wifi- It only lets you connect to 1 network only where previous dashcams I was able to connect to up to 3 networks. Work, home and hotspot for on the go.
Audio quality- it has this weird noise in recordings like a static and it’s really annoying when you download a video and all you can hear is static.
Video Quality- only gets you the best results during the day time. As soon as it gets darker outside, it produces horizontal lines and it looks like the video coming out of some 70s camera. My previous dashcam (DR750X Plus) produces better quality videos during night time than this dashcam.
Although BlackBoxMyCar did replaced my unit, second one have same issues. I am going to wait a couple of weeks to see if there is any software update to resolve the issue and if there is not, I’ll be returning it.
