ELITE 8 2CH

What is your budget? Blackvue make the best (they service the professional and consumer markets) and they just announced a new Elite 10 model with front and rear 4K cameras which can run in parking mode for months without draining the car battery. They also have the Elite 8 (2K/2K) and 9 (4K/2k) with the same low power draw in parking mode. Not cheap, but they are quality items.

Just picked up the Elite 8 and it’s been ok so far, not the clearest image and I felt my DR750S-2CH front camera was clearer at reading license plates. So far I’d recommend and take advantage of hardwiring for the low current parking mode which I haven’t completed yet.

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

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.

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

Same dashcam on our Outback but a B124X battery that runs the dashcam for up to 24 hours whilst parked. https://preview.redd.it/lpnq0dn19gbf1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e6f04f3824f7604357bc26b041e0bdffad368c5

looking to buy a dashcam for my boyfriend as a gift. id like to stay around 200 but im willing to consider something more pricey. I currently have a blackvue with front and rear cameras and although I loved it at first, my rear camera went out last year and I dont love that it only saves videos in 60 second increments. I have been doing a lot of research on forums and saw a lot of people recommend viofo, blackvue and Garmin. but when I go on tiktok or Instagram a brand called red tiger is EVERYWHERE. is that brand reputable? is it a common thing to have videos save 60 seconds at a time? I have also read that having the front camera in 4k is important and the rear cam can be less?? idk im trying to make sense of things im not too familiar with. overall I just want something nice, not too bulky and reliable. any advice is appreciated thank you!

I have a Blackvue front/rear. Solid units and they stand up to the nasty summer heat here.

I have a Blackvue 2-channel dashcam. Installed by Vancouver Dashcam. They came to my place for the install. Took about an hour and they went over the settings and operations with me.

Had my BlackVue 2-CH (front and back) installed at Autotrend Car Accessories (at Toa Payoh). Wire was neatly tucked and workmanship was solid! Also has parking mode function enabled as requested. Was about $450 all in.

Main cost was the BlackVue front and rear cameras themselves at $380+. Installation was $60 iirc. Could you send me the link to the 4k front and rear cameras for $100? I’ll check it out next year when I switch cars
