"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."


"it was a bit slow and clunky."

"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."

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 a Blackvue two-channel model on our 2021 XV. Never had any issues. Dashcam is married to a Blackvue B112 battery that keeps the dashcam independent of the car battery and can run the dashcam for up to 12 hours whilst parked. https://preview.redd.it/tr3bu7gr8gbf1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29a03356c531767120add2fceb922c5efee4258a

We use Blackvue in both our cars - two channel models for front and rear cam. My car's dashcam is married to Blackvue B124X battery to allow the dashcam to run whilst parked for up to 24 hours, and my other half's car runs the same dashcam but on a B112 battery which is the same technology, but smaller, only allowing the dashcam to operate for up to 12 hours whilst parked.

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've been using a Blackvue DR900X-2CH 4K dashcam for the past 4 years. It was a backup to the Tesla dashcam (known to be glitchy and miss recording early on), and I moved it to my Polestar 3 after selling the Tesla. I run it off the Blackvue Power Magic Ultra Battery B-124X for parking mode and battery drain protection. I plug the 12v adapter into the car's 12v socket to power the battery and set it to B-124X battery (not car battery) only mode when parked. The camera is plugged intot he B-124X and switches to parking mode after motion is not detected for about 1 minute. During driving, no drain at all. If you don't have a battery backup, then I'd set the camera to shut off w/ the car is parked instead of using parking mode.

I've had a Blackvue DR900X 2-channel (front and rear) for years. Had it hardwired into my M235i, pulled it out when I traded that in for my i4, and have been using it in the i4 for almost 3 years. I haven't hardwired it in to the i4 because I've been super lazy so I've only been using the front camera, and the 12v outlet. Whatever I get when this lease ends in May next year will get it hardwired in front and rear again. The picture quality is great, and although I used to really hate the app, they have made improvements recently that have made it better. I've also heard great things about Viofo dashcams, but have never used one.

I’m running the BlackVue 900X 2 channel running on a external battery so that it will continue to record while it’s parked. 4k front video & 1080p rear

I have it wire to an external battery. The external battery only pulls power from the car when I drive. When in park mode the dash cam will run & pull power off the external battery. Once the external battery dies the dash cam will just stop recording. My memory chip is 125 so the camera will rewrite over the older footage after about 11 hours

I upgraded from an older BlackVue to the DR900X 2CH and it’s been rock solid. The front 4K camera captures every detail even at night and the rear 2K unit makes reading license plates a breeze.

I went with the Blackvue dual dash cam 900x with cloud feature and battery for parking mode. It’s a game changer!

I have a BlackVue DR900X 2 channel. I also have an external battery for parking mode. Not cheap but very effective. I bought a 3rd party mount that hid the camera behind the mirror. Originally purchased for a 2019 Sport and transferred to a 2025 Sport.
