BlackVue - DR750X-3CH-DMS-PLUS

Finances is fair -- the market for dashcams is massive now. There are some new ones for less than $50 out there. The used market is massive with endless deals less than $100. For example, I'm about to list my Blackvue 750x Plus 3ch for $100 (MSRP is between $400-$500).. We spent about $100 on our first one and it saved us $500 within the first year with our deductible.

I’ve got a BlackVue 750X Plus, wouldn’t recommend. Video quality is pretty average. The focus on this model seems to become short sighted and makes the videos pretty useless. They also say you can only use their brand of SD card in the camera or you’ll have issues. Their cards are way over priced when compared to SanDisk or Samsung. Think this model has been discontinued now, probably for the best.

I wouldn't say "out of sight" for mine either but Blackvue(at least the older ones) have been relatively good for me. I have the 750x model but I plan to upgrade. 1080p sony camera, dual channel and a night mode. The app isn't great, and you may need to change the sim card to a name brand instead but it's almost lasted me 8 years, and 3 car upgrades. Went from 2016 WRX, to 2012 350, to finally ISF. Currently using add-a-fuse method for power. Simple as sticking your cameras on, plugging in power, and then figuring out which fuse is constant and accessories in the fuse box with lowest interference then tucking in the wires.

I bought my Blackvue 750 in 2019. It failed after about three years and they fixed it for about $100.00. it still seems to be doing fine. I live in Arizona and while I use a garage and don't have to park in the sun all the time, it still gets really hot in the car. 

Blackvue forward and back camera on mine 750 or 900 series are great!

For clarification: Are you looking for a camera to check your surroundings? Or a dash cam to record the crazy drivers who cut you off or run into you? I can't recommend a back up camera, but for a dash cam I have always used blackvues. Owned a 750 and a 970 for different cars and they're both great. You can creep on my post history to see some of my footage.

I really like my BlackVue. I have an older 750 and a newer 950, not sure what models they have now. I don't mess with the cloud storage or the batteries, I run off the car battery. They record 24/7 to the front and I added my own storage, were easy enough to install myself if you know how to watch some youtube.

Eventually the capacitors and RTC battery will fail. Blackvue and Thinkware tend to see that start occurring after the 5 year mark. The camera will often still run, but will shutdown immediately losing the current video segment. I have a pair of old Blackvue 750s still going strong, but their days are numbered. There's a fair number of things to go wrong with dash cams. Garmin consumer cams rarely make it beyond two years, with capacitors rarely being the cause.

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

For fleet we often do blackvue DR-series with a tamperproof case. That way, it can not be unplugged. Some options for LTE models for remote viewing capabilities. Pricing will vary depending on where you are.

Plus one for the Black Vue. I've had mine for 3 years in Texas heat.

I got mine from Black Vue after reading up on them. I paid about $249. Promptly got rear ended a month later and it paid for itself. I knew nothing about dash cams but their site was informative
