"The front 4K camera captures every detail even at night"
"The picture is phenomenal..."
"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."

"very reliable ... Been using mine for 2 years now and never had any issues (DR900X-2CH)"
"I had a Blackvue DR900X that took the heat from 21-24 when I sold it and it was still working. ... Parked every day in the sun in Corpus Christi. ... It doesn’t have a battery so it takes getting cooked a lot better."
"So far after five years I haven had any issues. ... Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, we get our temperature swings and will see a few days at -25C or lower during the winter and during the summer it will be +30C"

"It also allows her to receive live alerts from the truck whenever there was an impact, vibration, or motion detected in close proximity to the vehicle once parked, so that she can tap in right there and then and see what’s going on from her phone."
"Last month got rear ended by person on the phone. ... 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."
"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."

"And I installed it myself too, which is saying something. I'm not the best at DIY projects...."
"This one was perfectly behind the frame of the window almost the whole time for me..."
"because of the size of the plastic shroud behind the camera. My previous VIOFO camera would have blocked too much of the view."

"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 not very good and you have to use the app to point the camera as there is no screen on the camera itself (ie. always tied to the app unless you want to take out the memory card each time to verify where the camera is pointing."
"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."
