"I’m not a car guy and I installed it all myself; was pretty easy."
"I was able to stealth-mount the BlackVue in a manner where it’s hidden out of my view behind the rear view mirror."

"The front 4K camera captures every detail even at night"
"I used the BlackVue in one accident and the insurance company said it was the highest quality video they ever saw. ... 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 picture is phenomenal..."

"means carrying two devices, which kills the portability of speakers for travel. ... if the bass isn’t strong, it kind of defeats the purpose for me"
"it lacks a lot of the power of the Polk mainly because it has no woofer. ... If you want sound with power and punch, go with the Polk."
"Must pry off (using exacts or thin bladed knife )glued on panel near right rear of unit looking from back. Mini plug there, rca on jbl subwoofer."

"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."

"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."

"If I record for more than 14 minutes it will freeze and battery is already almost dead. This is at night night by the way so temperature isn't high."
"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."
"My hero 12 is unusable in Thailand due to overheating issues. ... I’m just sitting here thinking really one decade later they haven’t fixed this thing from overheating?"
ive my my Blackvue DR900X Dual Channel (front and rear) for almost 3 years now its great, has a great picture, plus its small and doesn't stick out much hindering your view, but they are pricey, i got mine for 200 off the price with end of year sales
r/australia • Best dashcam available in AU that isn't super expensive ->I’ve installed Blackvue cams (2Ch) in all of my cars. All were easily hidden behind the rearview except the 2024 model Toyota that has a lot more features that fit in the space behind the mirror. For that car, the camera sits a little below the mirror and is not completely tucked out of view.
r/Dashcam • Best discreet dash cam w/o a screen ->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 a Blackvue front/rear. Solid units and they stand up to the nasty summer heat here.
r/Miata • Dashcam for ND Miatas question.... ->I’ve been running a BlackVue DR900X‑2CH for over a year and it’s been rock solid. The front 4K sensor picks up plates at night and the rear 1080p lens covers everything behind me.
r/dashcams • Best Dashcam? ->Blackboxmycar.com and Vortex Radar on YouTube do amazing reviews and comparisons. I have a Blackvue 2 channel in my wagon and just put a Viofo A329s 3 channel in my new daily. Dual mode hybrid parking recording and lots of nice features on the viofo. Though I prefer the form factor of the blackvue.
r/askcarguys • Best dash cams in 2025? Need recommendations for my first one ->Blackvue dashcam front and back, hardwired. Cost less than 1K. I’d say a g owner it’d be a chumchange to your peace of mind.
r/AMG • Do any of you all use dash cams to help protect your car while parked? ->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! ->I have a BlackVue 2 channel system in my 2017 [*trim level redacted so Shamy Shamerson doesn’t call me out, too*].
r/hondaridgeline • Updated list of the best dash cams ->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? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
