The angle is a bit awkward but there is a rearview kit accessory for the DR650 that lets you output the rear camera signal to an RCA cable. Not sure if it works with DR750 though

They go on sale at Princess Auto once in a while. They even have the low profile mini type.

https://www.princessauto.com/en/deta...ap/A-p8311003e

I think I got the 10a one for $4.99 or was it $3.99.

Anyway

I'm sure more manufacturers will follow to cash in on this craze as an expensive OEM addon for dumbass buyers.

when i was at the toyota dealership to deal with my dad's rav4 a salesperson offhandedly said it was around $500-600 installed for that camera.

Started using a Blackvue 490. Despite it being replaced by BBMC (excellent customer support btw) it can't hold the time once the Power Magic cuts power.

Looks like a QC issue or design flaw in the unit. The suggested work around is to buy the separate GPS to pull the time from a sat. BBMC indicated they are waiting on a fix from BlackVue but no word when (or even if) it will be addressed.

Suggest going for one of the higher end models rather than this in the meantime.

Anyone know where one can buy a spare mount for Thinkware's dashcams, apart from Blackboxmycar? Locally, that is.

FOR those of you who don't want to fuck around with the powermagic pro and fuse box stuff, I have ordered this to try out. it was around $27cdn shipped from the USA.

I'll be testing it with the DR3500-FHD and older 380 series.

https://www.7daycam.com/accessories/...king-mode.html

Compatible with DR750S, DR650S, DR490, DR470, DR450 and DR430 BlackVue Models

NOT Compatible with DR490L & DR750LW BlackVue Models

Power Your Dashcam Easily with OBD II Connector

Two Modes: AAC or Parking Mode

AAC Starts the dashcam while the vehicle is on and powers off while vehicle is off

Parking Mode keeps the dashcam recording while using the car battery but will automatically shut off when the car battery falls below 12v

Easy Installation in less than 10 minutes
Protect your car battery and have the security of leaving your dash camera at all times

Compatible with DR650S and earlier models

Wire into an always "live" fuse, like interior light etc, not one linked to power on with the ignition.

This.

Correct me if I am wrong in this thinking.

If fault cannot be placed, both parties get hit with 50% blame.

If blame is greater than 25% for a given party, they have to pay their deductible and face a premium increase.

If a cam proves that one party is 75%+ (or typically 100%) to blame, then ICBC would only be able to:

1) claim one deductible?
2) raise the premium for one party?

Or am I incorrect in this assumption and ICBC would in fact hit the 75%+ blame party with both deducibles and premium increases?

I ask because I recall an article in a local news rag calling for reduced premiums for those who have dash cams. ICBCs response was very wishy washy, leading me to suspect the above. If blame can be clearly placed on one party by a cam - ICBC actually loses money? Financially it is in their best interest to have blame be 50/50?

So I'll admit I've been a bit overwhelmed with all the different models available - any recommendations for the best value dash cam with parking mode and good nighttime?

Was initially going for the G1W but that's a few years old now and doesn't do parking to my knowledge.

For the price, this one seems pretty good. https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product...10526801.aspx?

I use a F750 (with F770 fw) that I purchased last BF and it has worked well for me.

I think the TW is a little different than the BV. My TW has built-in voltage detection so I don't need a separate Power Magic Prov unit (or the one Acura604 uses), I just needed to get the separate hardwire cable. It was very easy to hardwire the unit.

If blame is greater than 25% for a given party, they have to pay their deductible and face a premium increase. YES. However, if found only 25% liable, just responsible for 25% of deductible but no premium increase

If a cam proves that one party is 75%+ (or typically 100%) to blame, then ICBC would only be able to:

1) claim one deductible? I don't really know what you mean by claim one deductible, but the at-fault party (100%) would be responsible for their own deductible while the other non-liable party does not have to pay their deductible.
2) raise the premium for one party? YES, for the responsible party

Or am I incorrect in this assumption and ICBC would in fact hit the 75%+ blame party with both deducibles and premium increases? if you are assessed +50% at fault, then your premiums increase. If you're +50% at fault AND you're repairing your OWN vehicle, you will be responsible for the deductible depending on your percentage of fault.

My sister bought my GF a dash cam for Xmas. I know I’ll be installing it so im doing my research.

Can you use a power magic pro with non BlackVue products? Is there an alternative? The reason I ask, is that the marketing all talks about your BlackVue dash cams... special power connection or am I completely overthinking this?

Edit: I think I found my answer looking at the photos. Cigarette lighter output. Can easily cut off and hardware. Is there alternative unit which have programmable voltage cut offs? 12v is a little low for my liking.

check to see if the cam itself has built in voltage cutoff. i think most decent cams now a days comes with such feature built in and does not require an external add on like the pmp.

Vico power plus, it's pricey but offers more cutoff options.
12.0V is definitely pretty low for the winter.

If the unit requires a direct hardwire kit (such as Thinkware dash cams) then you cannot use the kits with cigarette socket type outputs.

Anyone having issues with their Blackvue dr650s-2ch saving videos in random 5-20s intervals, some videos corrupted, and resetting randomly? Pretty sure its a microsd card error but it seems to be happening 1x a week despite the card. Happening so far with 3 cards, the blackvue 16gb, a lexar 633x, and lexar "high endurance". All 3 are ~1 year old so could that be the culprit.

Considering https://www.amazon.ca/SanDisk-Endura...high+endurance now but I read that Sandisks don't like dash cams
