BlackVue DR900X-2CH PLUS

This camera is glitchy, the app is lagging and the wifi cuts off all else. I’ve had this camera for the last three years, spent a fortune getting them installed on my brand new car at the time, and I’ve always had trouble getting this to work. Sometimes it greets and other times it says nothing, and you don’t know if it’s on or off if you can’t… Read more

see the tiny lights ( unfortunately mine is installed I front of the rear view mirror, so I can’t see the camera ), sometimes it says audio recording off while you’re driving and does all sorts of weird things. When trying to download any footage, then the real pain starts, the app is very slow and laggy, sometimes it just doesn’t load the app despite me restarting the phone. I’m disappointed that I spent so much money for so little gain.

Brisbane Dashcam – At Brisbane Dashcam, we’ve installed hundreds of Blackvue and other dashcams, and they continue to impress us with their reliability and sleek design. They are among the best and neatest dashcams on the market, offering top-tier performance and seamless integration into any vehicle. Highly recommended for those who value footage, quality, cloud features and good looking products. Show details

LOOKING TO CHANGE UNFORTUNATELY – Upgraded from an older 900 2ch dashcam to the 970x plus 2ch, the app had a great user interface and the ability to add multiple access points was extremely good. Along with, from what I can see, a huge difference in quality of video. - The quality is worse, can't see a number plate clearly that is approx 4mtrs away, with camera recording set to… Read more

its max quality. - Weird combination of settings need to be either activated or deactivated for your backup batteries to be utilised fully and properly. - App allows only 1 internet access point, where i had the option, and utilised, 3 different access points - proximity sensor on the side is only for manual recording, instead of both manual recording and turn on/off voice recording.

At a cost of around $950 for the 2ch 970x plus its quite disappointing to have something many downsides, looking at changing over to the thinkware U3000 considering ive already spent the amount.

When needed, not working – So, we needed to download a copy of an incident and well, nothing. For the past 30+ minutes the app is still Loading. We updated the firmware, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, unplugged and rebooted the DashCam, and we got NOTHING! So much for having evidence to send to your insurance as proof that the other vehicle was at fault. We tried to… Read more

use the BlackView Chatbot but it just pointed to large amounts of reading, none of which appeared to have anything to say about the app and camera not connecting, or the app just loading, loading, loading. Another few grand wasted on a product that does not deliver!

I looked up reviews online but only found sponsored reviews that had the BlackView. Should have checked Product Review!

The worsest dash cam ever – Spent close to $2000 with installation of 2 ch dash cam, magic battery, blackvue cloud after purchasing my new car for a pice of mined but it was more of disaster with 1 year of ownership used the dashcam around 3 months out of the whole year and the rest of the time was trying to get it going eather trough customer service or some blackvue sites… Read more

on how to fix the issue didn't help, twice my new car got hit by a trolley in the shopping centre and guss what dash cam did not work car got damaged, so do you self faver by a $150 dash cam and you want have any issues jump in the car everything starts automatically records front and rear in 4K quality no issues so ever. Don't waste money on this useless dash cam.

DO NOT BUY. USELESS WITH NEW APP – What was once the best on the market is now completely useless with the new app updates. You will not stay logged in and will be prompted with ads and upgrades that are stuck behind a paywall. Just another company that got greedy and tries to take more from their loyal customers Show details

Recent SW upgrade a total disaster – Got the camera for less than a year and worked perfectly until the recent SW update. Now the camera is no longer accessible by the Cloud, shutting down even with backup battery. I only can access it by Wifi in the car. Support and software development are very unprofessional lack of customer focus to address customer concerns. Today I regret… Read more

buying it, its not the camera which would perform excellent its the hastily untested releasing of new SW which screwed up the camera.

Interesting BlackVue feedback "Inaccurate/irrelevant content" ignoring a problem doesnt make it go away.

Must read before buying dash cams – Hi. I have had a blackview DR900X (2 camera set up) for over a year now. Thought Id share some things with you. Quality: The footage is good. At night the number plates of other cars cannot be read but overall its ‘ok’ footage. But no dashcam is perfect. The sensors are too small. Eg I had a motorcycle pass me during a clear overcast day - no… Read more

shadows. I was stationary and he was going about 30kph tops. I reviewed the rear camera to try and read its plate but it pixelated.

Updates and WIFI: Horrible. So when I use wifi in the car, it stops my phone from receiving texts and emails or anything for some reason. Its locks it up. SO i had to take the software off the phone and disconnect wifi. But the camera only updates over wifi. I live in a unit so dont get my home wifi reaching the car so its a pain to update. So im turning off half of the marketing that made me buy this thing in the first place. Waste.

Software and unit. The unit is constantly very hot. It is often telling me “parking mode on - parking mode off” while driving. I have reset it - formatted it - done everything. No luck. I contacted the company some months ago and no luck. BUT… (as an update to this article). I did get a reply after posting this review from Blackview with a fix for the camera (it was the install of the cable that causes the above issue). After changing the hardwired cable (thanks to Blackview for sending me a free one) I have not had this issue since. Thank goodness.

Re the footage. You cannot simply drag it into Adobe or Davinci video editing to enhance, zoom in, or fix it up - the software does not accept its files. If you try to send the footage to anyone over messenger - dont bother - it wont send. I dont know how apple messenger works but I dont like the chances.

Good camera but I wouldn’t recommend it – Let me start by saying the customer support by the guys at Blackvue in Perth is excellent. But the camera is disappointing. The videos are excellent but my gripe is with the time it takes to connect to GPS. The first camera took 15 minutes to make the first connection of the day, thereafter it was generally much quicker. Blackvue sent me a… Read more

replacement and this one is better but still takes about 3-4 minutes to connect. Meanwhile my much cheaper NavMan MiVue connects almost instantaneously. Had I known beforehand of this problem I would have bought another brand. When I upgrade to my next car a Blackvue camera will definitely not be on my shopping list.
