"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 bunk."

"the footage only lasts for 24hrs so if I don’t download it that day it’s gone forever"
"it records in minute increments, which makes viewing footage a pain. ... There are an enormous number of files associated with a day of driving."
FluffehCorgi 1.0I’ve had a good experience with the BlackVue DR900S-2CH because the front camera is sharp and the app is straightforward.
PhtmBolt 1.0I’ve been using the Blackvue DR900S-2CH for a while now and it’s been solid for my needs. The video quality is crisp, and the hard-wiring setup to my battery was pretty straightforward.
Rob_Swanson 1.0I've been using Blackvue for a while, and my go-to model has been the DR900S-2CH. The picture quality, even in low light, really impresses me, and hardwiring it to my battery was a smooth process.
YouLogical1070 1.0This was my 3rd Blackvue and my 900S Dual Channel from 2020 just kicked the bucket. Same as OP my rear camera will no longer be seen my Dashcam. I think I am saying "Adios" to Blackvue and going to look for something better or at least more reliable.
bradleycjw 0.7A little out of your price range but 70mai A810 is really good. I have it on most of my cars. I have a couple of A800s, which are pretty good (and closer to your budget) and a BlackVue 900s and 900x. BlackVue cameras are good quality but the app is so bad. I’m considering replacing both my BlackVue with the upcoming 70mai T800 camera (they are having a Kickstarter now - launches in August 2025)
Kaptoz 0.7Been using my BlackVue 900S since 2018. Back from when I was driving a 2017 Toyota 86. I've since have transferred it over two cars until this one
marvinthmartian 0.7I have personally used the Blackvue 900S (died after 6 years) and now the Viofo A329S (3 channel) which I'm also very happy with. Both have excellent parking modes. Both were hardwired to provide recording while parked. The third channel (fisheye) allows for angles on the side that your front and rear camera won't catch. I opted for the A329 because it allows you to plug in a SSD drive. My micro SD card is 128 gig, the SSD is 2 terabytes. If you're concerned about battery drain, look into getting an external battery pack. I know these things are expensive but once you're involved in an accident, you'll be happy you spent the money.
Pogichinoy 0.7RedTiger from Amazon Doesn’t have the blackvue price tag and runs fine so far after 8 months on the missus’ car. Mind you my blackvue 900S on my car is still working great after 4 years.
xtZN6 0.3This is pretty much what I did. But I have the dedicated battery in the glove box and it’s being charged using the hidden cigarette lighter. Wires are tucked in the A pillar and the roof to the back camera. I have BlackVue dr900 2ch with the B-124X battery. This setup lasted overnight easily. Estimated 16 hours in the app but probably less. It required about 30 mins of driving to recharge from 0. The Viofo cameras are a great option too.
Connect_Climate9639 0.2Blackvue 900 works for me, front and rear. Minimalistic look.
