BlackVue - DR650GW-2CH

I went for A229 Plus Duo (2k front and back). These Viofo cameras with the second generation Sony STARVIS sensors seem to work well. It's a huge upgrade from the Blackvue GW650 I've been using since 2016. I just hope the VIOFO is as well made, once you have a good one it's not worth upgrading all the time!

Do they make dual camera dashcam (front & back)? I may need to replace my almost decade old Blackvue DR650GW-2CH as it seem to struggle with the back camera now and try to fix it by auto-rebooting (I already have the high wired cigare plug in place for the parking mode). EDIT : they even have 3 channel apparently, nice.

What I wonder if there's some software check with their "hard wire" tool or not because I'm looking to something I can hook in my current hard-wired setup (hard-wired to the battery and the plug is the cigare plug). My current BlackVue worked like that: 10 minutes with no movement: goes to parking mode and the dedicated parking box has a ON/OFF switch I can use if I don't want to activate the parking mode (when I'm parked at home in my garage for example).

We have the Blackvue 2 channel ( front and rear ) .

Bought a blackvue dual front & back camera with parking mode. Watched YouTube videos of day and night performance and readability of license plates. Video clips are corded in 60 second increments with overlap start and finish. Last month got rear ended by person on the phone. They didn’t know I had a camera and they called the cops. I downloaded the event clip from the mobile app and was able to show the video to the police on the spot. The other driver got a ticket for using the phone.

I have BlackVue front and rears on mine with incident recording and remote access. I would recommend!

I have a BlackVue front and rear on my 2025 Outback. I’m not a car guy and I installed it all myself; was pretty easy. Only thing was I forgot to untuck some slack for the wire attached to the rear camera, and when I Opened the trunk it ripped the wire out of the cam and damaged it so I had to order a new one. But both work great and I would 100% get front and rear.

I run the BlackVue two channel and have it hardwired to the fuse box. Run all the cords through the head liner and side pillars. It’s pretty hidden almost to the point I forget it’s there. The rear camera is visible but very small and cords are running through the headliner so you only see it when it’s coming out direct to the camera (an inch or two of exposed cord).

Currently using a Blackvue two-channel model on our 2021 XV. Never had any issues. Dashcam is married to a Blackvue B112 battery that keeps the dashcam independent of the car battery and can run the dashcam for up to 12 hours whilst parked. https://preview.redd.it/tr3bu7gr8gbf1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29a03356c531767120add2fceb922c5efee4258a

Same dashcam on our Outback but a B124X battery that runs the dashcam for up to 24 hours whilst parked. https://preview.redd.it/lpnq0dn19gbf1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e6f04f3824f7604357bc26b041e0bdffad368c5

We use Blackvue in both our cars - two channel models for front and rear cam. My car's dashcam is married to Blackvue B124X battery to allow the dashcam to run whilst parked for up to 24 hours, and my other half's car runs the same dashcam but on a B112 battery which is the same technology, but smaller, only allowing the dashcam to operate for up to 12 hours whilst parked.

I have a Blackvue front/rear. Solid units and they stand up to the nasty summer heat here.

I have a BlackVue 2 channel system in my 2017 [*trim level redacted so Shamy Shamerson doesn’t call me out, too*].
