A lot of people own dash cams, how many have had to use theirs in a major collision that resulted in a multi million dollar lawsuit as I am dealing with now. Without that DC I would be screwed."

"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."


"The app is not very good and you have to use the app to point the camera as there is no screen on the camera itself (ie. always tied to the app unless you want to take out the memory card each time to verify where the camera is pointing."

A BlackVue LTE model. You're also going to have to pay for a data plan for the camera and probably a BlackVue cloud plan. You may also have to purchase a backup battery depending on your car. It offers all of the functionality you want plus you can actually two way communicate with her. There's other features too like getting a push notification if there's an impact. https://blackvue.com/cloud/ I should warn you though, if your daughter is truly one of those people who just goes along with other kids who misbehave, it might work. If she's not, she's just going to find some way to disable the camera. They do sell a cover you can put on it to where she couldn't unplug it or disconnect the data connection, but she could always block the view or straight cut the wires (or she knows enough about cars pull the fuse.)

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 😊

I had a BlackVue DR770X two channels professionally installed on my 2023 it was not cheap basically the installation cost was equal to the cost of the hardware. Some people said I should have gone for three channels which would record inside the car as well to prove your not driving recklessly or distracted and I know Uber and Lyft drivers usually opt for 3 channels. There are YouTube videos on installing and running the wires if you are DIY. Otherwise you can call car stereo stores or Best Buy and get an idea of what products they have and the cost.

Blackvue 770X or 970X both are great. No large LCD and pretty unobstrusive. I have 1 in each of my cars.

Depends on what your budget is. When I got my '23 Santa Fe Limited a year ago, I immediately bought a Blackvue (https://blackvue.com/dashcams/4k-lte/) and installed it myself (pretty easy if you're even a little bit tinker-y). Never looked back! Always got it recording. Got a hotspot for the car so that I can access the cam 24/7. No regrets, and no issues with it so far!

I have BlackVue in 3 of my vehicles and expect to add another when my Land Cruiser comes in the ned of this month. I used the BlackVue in one accident and the insurance company said it was the highest quality video they ever saw.

BlackVue comes out with new models annually. So mine is now discontinued, they have even better ones now. Right now, I would buy this one in 2 Channel with a 128 GB card. [https://blackvue.com/dashcams/4k-cloud/](https://blackvue.com/dashcams/4k-cloud/) I also did a Billet aluminum mount to hold the camera and allows for quick tooless detach, instead of glueing the included mount to the windshield. Then when you want to switch it to another vehicle it is easy, quick and no tools. A lot of people own dash cams, how many have had to use theirs in a major collision that resulted in a multi million dollar lawsuit as I am dealing with now. Without that DC I would be screwed.

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 got Audi dashcam from CPO it was terrible. 1080p quality, who use 1080p anymore its unusable during night time, and the process to save the video was also terrible. Then i move to blackvue something, now its 4k, automatically connect to your phone, and easier to save the file

I like how you had to add Black Edition like it matters with the dash cam lol I got a 4K BlackVue with front and rear. The app is bunk. But I also don’t have the cellular add on. And the footage only lasts for 24hrs so if I don’t download it that day it’s gone forever

For the dashcam I would do the VIOFO A229. I have the blackview 4k and I dont care for it. The app is not very good and you have to use the app to point the camera as there is no screen on the camera itself (ie. always tied to the app unless you want to take out the memory card each time to verify where the camera is pointing.

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 picked up a dual channel blackvue. It records front and back. I used a fuse tap to power it both during driving and while parked. I've had it for ~9 months. Love it.

I had one failure of my 12v about 3 months after install. I'm unsure if it was related to the dashcam, but I haven't had an issue since...and nothing noticeable on battery life. The picture is phenomenal... And I installed it myself too, which is saying something. I'm not the best at DIY projects.... But couldnt stomach a $600-$800 install cost I was finding.

Blackvue 2 chanel camera. Get it with WiFi but no need for cellular connection as that is for people who operate fleets like taxis. Can get them with 1080 front and rear or 4k front with 1080 rear. It's a camera that you fit and forget until you need it then you just use the app on your phone to download the videos immediately.

I used a BlackVue 2 channel camera in our Bolt LT2 because of the size of the plastic shroud behind the camera. My previous VIOFO camera would have blocked too much of the view. I also hard wired it for parking protection. The BlackVue has some nice cloud features like viewing footage. When I get home, it connects to my wifi and uploads all of its captured data to their cloud service.

There's an Audi dashcam? Hmm.. I have a blackvue 2 channel camera which is very nice and sleek. It hides well on the front and rear window. My only gripes are: 1) The app. It's a complete pain in the ass to view any footage and 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. There are other ways to update the firmware, but I can't be bothered lol And 2) it records in minute increments, which makes viewing footage a pain. There are an enormous number of files associated with a day of driving. Other than those 2 points, it's a great dashcam and overall, I do recommend it.

I got the best one at the time, which was around $1000 for the dashcam and $300 for the battery pack. But Black Vue sell all sorts, just make sure you have a dual cam, that is front and rear.

r/melbourne • Given the general level of sketchiness of Melbourne drivers, I don't think a dash cam is optional any more. ->
