so i'm driving down an alley and this crosses my path!
With no owner in sight, my gf and I started knocking on doors nearby. Luckily, the first one we knocked on told us to try their neighbour because they knew that the neighbours owned a dog. low and behold, it was their dog! The owner's seemed clueless and not worried of what was happening. But then again, the dog wasn't soaking wet, so my gf and I may have found the dog soon after escaping from it's house. I didn't stay to chat with the owner. I received a couple "thank you"'s and left, but I'm assuming that it's not an outdoor dog because the blue jacket it was wearing was fleece....who wears fleece in the rain
on a side note, my dashcam thinks that's it's 4hrs earlier than real time. How do I fix that?
Pros:
- good video quality
- hides well behind the rearview mirror that I can’t even tell it’s there and I don’t get distracted by the flashing lights.
Cons:
- I find that sometimes I miss clips that I think should be recorded. Ie I’ll start a parking mode clip and there is a car parks in front of me with the driver already 10 steps away from the car. Unless he’s running, I’m missing at least 5 secs of clip.
- Gets very hot to touch, even the memory card feels hot when I take it out to review video
- When I first got it, my time stamp was right, but now it’s not. Blackvue’s software isn’t intuitive enough for me to figure it out.
- Can’t fit a card bigger than 32GB. 32GB just isn’t enough footage time for when I’m parked over a 9 hr shift. I start losing things that happen at the beginning. I even have the sensitivity turned way down, and I find the camera picks up a lot of cars driving perpendicular to mine about 20-30 feet away.
- I’ve had to open up the camera to clean it once after owning it for ~2 years.
Summary:
Would I buy another one if the opportunity came up? Probably not, I have a FineVu too and I like that much better for the fact that it doesn’t get so hot. I'm afraid that I might not get the clip I need if I ever hit n run'd but I'm sure it'll record any incidents when the car is in motion.
