Anyone installed a dashcam?

I think you'll find it easier to mount it the correct way up. The button on the left is large and covers the whole end of the unit, so its easy to press sight unseen.
But whatever works for you.

The playback software does have a 'flip image' function.

I want the cables going in close as possible to the left pillar. So 'flip it' it will be. Plus those alternating colours around the button look mesmorising

PS - found a guy in Oz who has them around the same price so bought from him...

HILLBILLY;

Looks great - really small and tidy install.
It looks like you have another lense higher up in the centre - what's that for?

"Am at present using screenshots to fight a speeding ticket in a zone where the speed sign has been covered up."
I succesfully won a parking ticket arguement because I took an iPhone shot of a badly parked car next to me - cant beat photo/video evidence these days

I turned the flashing lights off as they are annoying As you see on mine its on the right side of the centre but cord is long enough to run across to the left.. No need to worry about flipping images then

Dont know why you would want to film inside the car they are for filming idiots outside.

You also have the choice of turning audio on or off.


Latest firmware updates are available here BlackVue - Full HD 1080p Dash Cameras with GPS

You can save the RECORD folder to your computer and view the contents later in either the blackvue software if you load it on the computer or in another video program.

It pays to format the SD card every couple of months using the SD formatter program to keep it working at its best.

Its on this page http://blackvue.com/en/contents/sub3...ch=&SearchStr=

Agree - duh - unless you got unruly step-kids you want to hand back or make award of the courts.

What swung me to BlackVue was the MkII improved performance, the iPhone App for control/image downloads, but mainly their web page is in english and well supported. The other Korean sites are all in Korean - which I must admit I skipped in school!!

Why would you want a dash cam you may ask?
in case something like this happens...

Road rage caught on cameral

Despite what has been captured on camera, a lot is if is probably inadmissable in a court. The OLD Police are seeking witnesses before they take it to court.

Done. Works a treat except cannot get the latest firmware to load.
The fitting took an hour - easy cable run, easy stick up and aim. Brilliant PC software with google maps GPS integration.
Anyone know how to update firmware?

Follow intructions to install It pays to format the card every couple of months.

If you want to retain the files Install Blackvue app on your computer Then copy the RECORD folder off the card onto your HDD and you will be able to play what the camera has taken. You will have to change the path to the folder on the right hand side of the App above where it shows the files.

Usually shows say G:\ blackvue change to D:\ record or wherever you put it

When I was in the USA I dropped contents onto computer every night and so have the whole 3500miles still to look at.

I'd be stuck on the "Speed of other vehicle" but the licence plate might be a bit tricky too
