As a long time Blackvue user of a DR750S in my own car, I would say both are worth it. There are not really better and much cheaper options than the newer Blackvue models that have the same quality or reliability. The DR770x plus is going to meet the needs unless you're willing to pay a premium to get a bit more video quality, and if that's the case the Thinkware U3000 is likely to be a more attractive option and a bit less money. You can buy Thinkware anywhere and get decent warranty/support, but BlackBoxMyCar is the only place I'd by current Blackvue (or if you believe others, Viofo) due to warranty and support challenges in Canada. Visions typically has black friday and boxing day sales on older models. There can be decent savings.

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 😊

Blackvue 770x or 970x both 2-channel. Use battery backup as well. Install was straightforward.

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.

Went with an a329 viofo, works perfectly and the number plates are a lot clearer, my prior 770 blackvue that kept blurring plates, got autobarn to install and it was seamless, brilliant dash cam

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

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 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.

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.
