^ Who said thats my house ? Who said I'm even a guy ? Should have posted one while I was on the road

I would you get you photos from the outside, but my phone died and I don't really have a decent camera. But you can't really see it, unless you're peering through the glass. For me, I could only see the suction cup.

^ I can't image that one being that hidden. Seeing as it is much bigger than the blackvue, and even the blackvue is easy to spot when mounted.



Also, hopefully the new f/w fixes the on going issue. Has anyone tried a new microSD card yet?

Also, the BV takes microSD cards.

The last firmware update 1.039 seemed rock stable. It took a little longer to fire up, but I didn't have anymore "please check the SD card" errors or powering down issues. The latest update hopefully seals the deal for perfect function! And yes, I've tried a new microSD card by ADATA that was a class 4 and it worked fine. I think the issue was software related and not the memory cards.

1.039e, I had problems with during the beginning. Then I formatted and re upgraded firmware and it was fine, until a couple days ago, then the problem started again.

I upgraded to the newest 1.040 today, I took it for a test drive. Got the problem again...sighh..

hmmm interesting... after your format your SD card, are you able to copy and paste stuff onto it? When I was having my issues, even after formatting there was some issue with the card, but I eventually got a proper format (double full overwrite formatted it) and so far so good *knock on wood*

In the owner's manual, it says "SD cards are an expendable item," maybe this unit tends to eat them up~

Dude, use the blackvue SD card formatter program off their website and do a full overwrite!

Turned off all the sounds eh? It's cool until you realize you weren't recording for whatever reason lol

So far mines been okay even with 1.039 *knock on wood* 1.040 is working good so far! After you use their SD card formatter, check to see if you're able to paste files into the SD card. My repeat SD card errors occurred when the formatting messed itself.

^No, that price isn't bad actually. It's the dvr-027, it does have hd recording at 720 with ok quality and it's around the same price on ebay.

Not necessary a deal breaker....but for all of you that bought the DR-400G, did you guys just use the adhesive tape? Sucks tthat they didn't include an optional suction cup mount.

But I guess without the suction cup, it create less cutter and more "hidden".

Anyone purchase the "Power Magic Pro" ? Or did you guys just all hardwire it directly?
