    Mine is a barrel shape and sits in a spline in the holder so I click it to where it should be and it wont shift without a reasonable effort to do so

      It looks like you have rear camera at the front of your car. Why?

        Whaaaat The pic of the front camera is a DR400G HD which is the old one that I have replaced with a DR500 GW HD which looks the same but is black. I have a FRONT CAMERA in the BACK actually because the normal 2 ch setups only have a 720p quality rear camera, Because the 500 is an HD I just bought another camera and mounted it in the rear A lot less mucking around with wiring and far better quality videos.

        You obviously dont know much about Blackvue cameras

          Front camera on your photos has one cable connection and rear two cables. That's why I was wonder and thank you for answer.


          PS don't, not dont. doesn't not doesnt. haven't not havent. But _obviously_ you know about that, because you live in English-speaking country and using English as main language

            Forum doesn't have a spellchecker sadly. To be correct your sentence above should read "that's why I was wondering and thank you for your answer." Pot calling Kettle black eh!!!!!! You may think you know your grammar but we are not here to have an English lesson and while we are on about correctness it is helpful if you put your location in your heading as sometime you are going to ask about a model that we may not have in Australia.
            Next time Google the article before making an uninformed comment. The answers are on the Blackvue site and the models are in my signature.
            The reason the front camera has one cable is that it has inbuilt GPS The 450 in the rear is cheaper but equal in video quality, but has optional GPS which is why it has a second cable to the GPS.

              a picture is worth a thousand words they could say you backed into them , but the camera never lies ,

                Again, thank you for your answer And of course, It's not an English lessson - especially, when it's not even my second language and I'm not using it good. But I'm always a big fan of people who rather than just answer question, trying to put someone in position "you don't know nothing, I'm a specialist".


                Your main answer was enough, so why do not finish at first paragraph? What a purpose was hidden in your additional sentence? Maybe as non-native English speaker I was reading it wrong?

                PS my country location is provided from my first day here.

                PS2 I'm sorry to others, it's my last off-topic post in this thread

                  Haha, this gives me an idea, however i should ask before i change mine. I had someone installed Thinkware F770 2 channel on my tig, on the other side, there is another Blackvue 650 2 channel available in the box sitting around for more than 8 months, can i use front Blackvue to replace the back camera of Thinkware? Is it possible?

                    For me idea to replace back camera with better quality model is awesome. I wasn't happy when ordering my 650-2CH model, but I wanted to have one recording from two sides on one device - I know there are two files, but in one place and time-synced.

                      Dont see a location and we dont have a list of flags to refer to.

                      Maybe English is not my first language either. How would anyone know.

                        Yes you just need a power cable I ran mine from the fuse box in the dash under the door trims and up through the body to what you can see in the pics. Sorry. I had better say pictures to satisfy the purist.

                          As i knew, with current thinkware system, the front and back cable connect to the battery Bell C or something sorry i cant remember, and from the battery to fusebox. I thought as if i can keep the installed cable for back camera to plug in the main front blackvue then it would be good, otherwise this will be a test that i could never be done due to my bad machanic knowledge and practice ...hehe

                            I wouldnt be plugging cameras of two different makes together ever as they probably wont talk to each other. Far better to run a power cable only from power source NOT FRONT CAMERA and run them as two independant units. Less chance of ruining them that way.

                            Your way would be like trying to hook an Apple Iphone to an Android one and expecting it to work
