"Capacitor powered. That’s what makes them be able to handle hot and cold temps. I would never get a battery powered dashcam."
"Yeah they are specifically better in the heat than other cameras because they use a super capacitor instead of a battery to do the final writing to the SD card when the power gets cut by your car. ... Batteries tend to have issues in extreme heat/cold"
"been going strong for 6 years now in extreme heat and cold."

"I run Decos (AX3000) in my house which was built like a f***ing faraday cage. 2300 feet and I need 3 mesh units to get coverage throughout, plus another one just outside the back door (X50) to reach the backyard, otherwise the signal is gone after 15 feet."
"I had Deco. Spend hours trying to extend WiFi range with another node. Fail."

"and they also overheat. It could be that I'm in Australia, but I've mounted my Insta in my car to record random stupidity and then find it's off and recorded a minute or two before dying. ... Just Google Insta overheating, and it's an issue they are 100% trying to hide."
"GoPros aren’t really meant to be on for long periods of time (at least that generation, I’m not too familiar with the newer ones). ... The GoPro runs extremely hot to the point where with the battery it would overheat and shut off."
"Lol, mine overheats all the time. I have to keep it in the shade when using it if it is remotely hot out. ... I'd probably overheat any camera in my use on a tripod in the middle of a sunny concrete skatepark filming for long periods of time. ... I've had the 8 9 and now have the 12. They all overheat after five minutes if its too hot out. ... + 80° F outside with no shade, it WILL overheat on me and shut down. Every time."
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
r/Audi • Dashcams - Audi's or Aftermarket? ->I have had a Blackvue 900X in my 2022 ORP and love it. Rear view came in handy a few months ago. Check my post history in r/dashcams.
r/4Runner • Front and rear dash cam suggestions! ->A 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)
r/kereta • Best dashcam? ->Blackvue 900 works for me, front and rear. Minimalistic look.
r/Audi • Dash Cam Recommendations for 24’ SQ8 ->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
r/hondaridgeline • Updated list of the best dash cams ->Blackvue forward and back camera on mine 750 or 900 series are great!
r/f150 • Dash Cam recommendations ->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 ->I bought a used BlackVue off of eBay (so slightly more affordable, but still expensive) and it’s been doing great in the heat. Have been running it for 3 years. DR900X
r/phoenix • Affordable car dash cams that can survive the Phoenix heat? ->I live in South Louisiana and I've had a regular BlackVue (non-box model) for 7 years. Never had any issues with overheating. And my second one is the 900X which is prone to overheating.
r/dashcams • Is there a heat resistant dashcam? ->Viofo’s are a great value, but be cautious if you live in a high heat area. After 6 months of living in Phoenix (very hot summers, like 115 degrees), my A129 Pro Duo died. Replaced it under warranty and the second died within the next year because of over heating. Did thorough research and picked up a BlackVue 900X Plus and it’s been rock solid for the last 2 years.
