BlackVue - DR900X-1CH Plus

BlackVue 100%, they are fantastic and look clean. Saved me with insurance when I was rear ended in my MK8 R-Line and I’ve now installed the same ones into my R, I would not recommend anything else.

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.

Jeep Grand Cherokee here and I use a Blackvue DR900X with a Blendmount, which mounts the camera on the rear view mirror and doesn’t touch the windshield. Really happy with the setup. Blackvues are pricy but I know there’s blendmounts for other camera models as well.

I have a Blackvue DR900X Plus. Does ok as sometimes plate numbers are hard to read, and the "Plus" brings a rear facing cam as well. I have had it for a few years and it was installed in the Wrangler I had before.

Currently using Blackvue. 4K front, 2K rear. Both cars.

We have a Blackvue DR900X Plus two channel dashcams on both our Outback and XV. They are both married to a Blackvue B124X and B112 battery respectively, allowing the dashcam to run up to 24 and 12 hours each whilst parked.

I have the BlackVue DR900x plus. There are newer models 970x. I have the came paired with 3 battery packs hardwired to the interior fuse box for rapid charging. They keep the cam powered for 55+ hours when parked (most important part for me). Also got an old t-mobile portable hotspot (cool pad) added 2G/$10/per month plan. More than enough when going out for work shopping etc. At home the can connect home WiFi and records until battery dies. Happy so far.

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.

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)

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

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.

I just did this one. Really happy with it so far. Got it on sale at $570 Canadian? Takes a bit to find good fuse circuits to tap into without affecting critical components. I ordered “add a circuit” fuse jumpers off amazon.

No parking mode though. https://preview.redd.it/sjjgmc11k4ae1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13df1b9800ce133f184fb659ca620bdd0be861a0
