"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."
"now its 4k"

"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."
"battery for parking mode"
"Blackvue 4k and get the battery pack so it runs even when the car is parked. ... it's much cheaper and more reliable just to get the externay dedicated battery pack."

"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 ’s still nice and clear after 8 years."

"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."
"very nice and sleek ... It hides well on the front and rear window"

"There’s no point of just getting the front as things do happen from behind as well."
"just make sure you have a dual cam, that is front and rear."
"it's has a better view of my surroundings than I do."

"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."

"I ended up installing 2 sets (yes.. two) of 2-channel Blackvue DR900 dash cams on her truck ... I’m not sure if there are dash cams out there that achieve the same thing without needing to purchase 2 sets of cameras, but just something to consider if you really want to cover all bases."
