"Super easy. ... Took about 20-30 minutes"
"It plugs right into the power source for the lane assist and hides inside the housing for it so I can basically just forget it’s there until I need to grab a clip."
"Dream to fit as it connects to existing "safety eye camera" around rear vision mirror. ... Took 5 minutes. Could do it in one minute next time."

"the 8:7 aspect ratio and 5.3k. That gives me much more freedom when reframing shots."
"Nice crisp clear 4K especially if you keep your streams and upload them to YT later."

"Yes my crash was at night and rear camera which is only 2K had what I consider perfect night vision. I could clearly see her facial expressions as she plowed into the back of my car."
"I have U3000 and night vision is great. ... I was rear ended 3 days after install at night and footage shows every expression on the ladies face as she slammed into me."
"the parking surveillance feature has unbelievable sensitivity."

"Saved me $10k when I got sideswiped by a UHaul."
"If you can spend money get a Viofo and enjoy high quality videos ... So practically I have 8mp IMX678 sensor on front camera and 5mp IMX675 sensor on back camera which is all other brands put on front cameras (Rove, Xiaomi etc.) even it is Starvis 2 new sensor it ’s still a 5mp. So back camera performance on Viofo is similar to top brands new dashcams front camera ... Top of the line sensor with 8mp and Stravis IMX 678 sensor - image quality is perfect. ... because I want not just dash cam for the sake of having dash cam, but also best image quality therefore I spend more. ... For now I ’m happy with video quality"
"Viofo always alerts when the recording is not working for whatever reason, FitcamX stays silent so you can easily miss recording on accident."

"Last month got rear ended by person on the phone. ... 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."
"automatically connect to your phone"
"I have no issues with the app personally. ... They have made some large strides with it in the last couple of years. ... The main issue I had with it previously was it was a bit slow and clunky. That has since improved considerably. ... You can get straight into your camera and do the business of reviewing and downloading footage quickly and ignore the rest of the app if you want."

"that also drives up your cost not insignificantly (another $100 from what I recall)"
"it was not cheap ... basically the installation cost was equal to the cost of the hardware"
"they’re expensive"

"The app for accessing and retrieving the videos off the device remotely is a pile of crap!"
"The app. It's a complete pain in the ass to view any footage ... it won't update the firmware because the dashcam connects to my phone via wifi and if it's connected via wifi, there's not any actual Internet access from the cellular signal so it can never update 🤣 what a joke."
"Red tiger has the same issue. You can be connected to one WiFi connection at a time and since CarPlay connects Bluetooth and WiFi, if you connect to the camera, you disconnect from CarPlay. Then the Bluetooth kicks you back onto CarPlay again, booting you out of the camera. Basically you can only access the camera data by disabling Bluetooth and then disconnecting CarPlay to connect to the camera."

"But, there is one thing that you should know about parking mode, which almost nobody is talking about. The cam may drain your battery. Whether the hardwire kit has discharge protection or not, there is always a chance. ... Also, even if the harwire kit is working properly and cutting off power if the battery is discharged to some level--it puts a strain on it. Which means it wears out quicker. ... Gotcha. Be careful with setting it so low, as it not only puts a strain on the battery going through so many cycles of charging/discharging every time, but discharging it to such a low state can lead to not being able to start the car on a colder/hotter day at 11.4V ... good to hear because I had some clients who reported batteries died on them over time after they tried using parking mode. Despite it had voltage protection"
"I am strongly considering upgrading to a constant power cable though."
"The A229 Pro supports a maximum 512GB microSD card, which limits storage capacity. ... I strongly recommend connecting it to a hard drive; otherwise, it’s only useful while driving, not when parked."

"But I must say, you won't really be able to read the plates on other cars unless you have perfect weather conditions."
"I wish it was a bit clearer because I got a hit and run overnight and I couldn't read the plate (it was also raining)"
"kept blurring plates"

"the footage only lasts for 24hrs so if I don’t download it that day it’s gone forever"
"The app. It's a complete pain in the ass to view any footage ... it won't update the firmware because the dashcam connects to my phone via wifi and if it's connected via wifi, there's not any actual Internet access from the cellular signal so it can never update 🤣 what a joke."
"it records in minute increments, which makes viewing footage a pain. ... There are an enormous number of files associated with a day of driving."
I’ve installed Blackvue cams (2Ch) in all of my cars. All were easily hidden behind the rearview except the 2024 model Toyota that has a lot more features that fit in the space behind the mirror. For that car, the camera sits a little below the mirror and is not completely tucked out of view.
r/Dashcam • Best discreet dash cam w/o a screen ->I have a Blackvue front/rear. Solid units and they stand up to the nasty summer heat here.
r/Miata • Dashcam for ND Miatas question.... ->Blackboxmycar.com and Vortex Radar on YouTube do amazing reviews and comparisons. I have a Blackvue 2 channel in my wagon and just put a Viofo A329s 3 channel in my new daily. Dual mode hybrid parking recording and lots of nice features on the viofo. Though I prefer the form factor of the blackvue.
r/askcarguys • Best dash cams in 2025? Need recommendations for my first one ->I have a BlackVue 2 channel system in my 2017 [*trim level redacted so Shamy Shamerson doesn’t call me out, too*].
r/hondaridgeline • Updated list of the best dash cams ->I've had a lot of success with the Blackvue Range. The DR770X is a great model. If a little on the pricey side. The DR970X has 4k resolution. Feel free to contact me if you need any help 😊
r/dashcams • Best dash cam? ->Depends on your budget and preference of tech. Mines unnecessarily expensive to buy upfront and has a monthly charge, there's cheaper but I like it Blackvue DR770X LTE. It's hardwired, with an auto off to not kill battery, it has impact, manual, motion sensor and auto recording. Its always on ans trims footage into 1 minute clips. Footage is then streamed to an app on your phone you can download share etc. For this it has a sim card that costs me 9.99 a month. But much easier for me than battery or storage card options. Pretty good quality too.
r/drivingUK • Dash cam recommendations ->Depends on budget and preference of tech. I have Blackvue DR770X LTE Front and rear. Its hardwired, has auto cut out for low battery ans is always record except auto cut out. It condsenses clips into 1/2 minites when driving and has motion and impact. It uses a SIM card you have to pay monthly for to send clips direct to an app you have and you can view and save direct to phone You can also do live view if you want to wake it up. Its pricey but good
r/drivingUK • Dashcam recommendations ->Blackvue DR770X LTE Expensive and has a pay monthly sim but its great. Good picture quality day and night, front and rear, hardwired, impact and motion recording. It automatically records during journeys and condenses it into 1 or 2 min chunks. They get uploaded to an app you can watch and download. Just wish the app didnt have such a short time frame to do it from, I.e videos from the morning may get overwritten by evening
r/CarTalkUK • How did you decide which dashcam to get? ->What's your budget? I have a BlackVue DR770X LTE Front and rear It's pricey, hardwired and saves/loads clips via an app so you need a cheap sim card for the camera to upload it from via data/WiFi But its bloody good
r/drivingUK • Dashcams recommendation ->You'd get better advice from the nerds in the dashcam subreddits. But I have a blackvur and it's great. Typically Viofo is the one to get though.
r/gmcsierra • Dash cam recommendations ->Blackvue lte dashcam or a cloud connected dashcam that can connect to a hotspot will give you remote access and notifications
r/dashcams • Dash Cam reccomendation that I can access from my phone while car is off? ->Blackvue 770x or 970x both 2-channel. Use battery backup as well. Install was straightforward.
r/Subaru_Outback • Recommendation on Dash cams 2025 outback ->You're not going to get much better quality than BlackVue 700 models.
r/Dashcam • Can I use 2 separate dash cameras in my car? One system with LTE and the other without? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
