Let your BlackVue watch over your car, informing you immediately of incidents such as impacts, via Push Notifications to your Apple or Android phone. The reviewer took a different route from regular video reviews and shot his opinion using only the device he was actually reviewing – the DR750S-2CH. It sometimes gets triggered by mistake if you open and close your trunk or get in your car and shut the door, but you don’t drive away immediately. The front unit is supplied power via a pure power adapter (not USB) that plugs into the cigarette lighter/auxiliary power socket,4 while the rear draws power via said coax cable from the front camera. Touching the proximity sensor turns on/off audio recording or triggers manual recording depending on the firmware settings.

I ran the DR650S as my primary dashcam for about a year and upgraded to the the DR750S a little over 2 months ago. You also can go in and configure all the dashcam’s settings on your computer too if you don’t want to use your phone. Only the recording LED indicator facing the interior of the vehicle will blink when motion or an impact is detected.

Make sure to use the latest versions of the BlackVue Viewer and App for full compatibility when installing a new firmware version. Through the cloud you can access your videos in your camera remotely, plus your dashcam can send you notifications should anything happen. Security case accessory blocks physical access to the microSD card slot and prevents unplugging the power and coaxial cables (highly reducing risks of data tampering).

I don’t have a WiFi hotspot in my car and I’m usually not parked close enough to home for it to work so it’s not too useful for me personally. I like the parking mode capabilities of the DR750s but I am concerned about the functionality during extreme heat. For this reason, if you only select regions on the left and right sides, we recommend using a sensitivity value of 4 or higher. The DR750S also has a night vision mode to help you see in the dark, boosting the camera’s sensitivity at night, and quite honestly it’s kind of amazing. Add a BlackVue Power Magic Pro to your setup and its power management circuitry will ensure that your camera will never deplete your vehicle’s battery when operating overnight, switching-off should the car’s battery level drop below a pre-set level.

DR750X Plus Series can be hardwired to your vehicle’s fuse panel for Parking Mode, without requiring optional accessories.

Since the DR750S Series retains settings upon upgrade, you may want to readjust the Brightness on your dashcam after upgrading (previous firmware version's default Brightness was 1). Viewer also allows you to connect to your DR750-2CH LTE over the Cloud, accessing Live View, Real Time Tracking etc. When a Normal, Parking Mode or Manual Event occurs, a thumbnail is now displayed alongside the Push Notification sent. If you try to connect to the dashcam in direct Wi-Fi while another device is already connected, the following voice alert will play: “Direct Wi-Fi connection already in use”.That said, we always recommend parking in the shade, using a sun shade, or removing the cameras if you’re going to be parked for any length of time in the baking sun. With Full HD 1080p resolution, smooth 60 frames per second footage (rear camera at 30fps), ultra-wide lens with a 139° viewing angle, and SONY’S remarkable industry-leading STARVIS image sensor, the DR750-2CH LTE provides class-leading protection for your vehicle, in any lighting conditions. I find that motion detection generally gives a fair number of false alerts from cars driving by, especially if you’re parked in the city. BlackVue Cloud is a suite of innovative ‘connected’ features that take the BlackVue user experience to new levels, unlocking the true power of your dash cam and remotely connecting you with your vehicle. Adaptive Format-Free File Management: developed by BlackVue, this file system improves recording stability and reduces the need for microSD card formatting, while giving you the flexibility to change recording time unit (1/2/3 minutes) and quality settings.

They’re not particularly delicate, but it will pay to be careful with them if you connect/disconnect the wires often. You’ll also see it with cameras that shoot at higher bitrates such as the Vicovation Opia1 (20 Mb/s on the Opia1 vs. The DR750S has WiFi to change settings, help you aim the dashcams during setup, and view and download videos directly through your phone.BlackVue is the global leader and innovator in the field of in-vehicle dashcam technology for cars and commercial vehicles.
