My BlackVue DR400G-HD DashCam Review

[kpatz]

That thing needs to be matte black! Though that probably doesn't help with overheating...

Hmmm... we need to invent a black dashcam koozie.

Or we should cover it in Mossy Oak duct tape.

Good call. How about a black sock with a hole in it?

I'm buying one next week. I'm not waiting until something happens and wish I had one then go buy it. The CM videos and rediculous drivers caught on tape is just a plus.

Just installed my DR400G-HD tonight. The software works surprisingly well. The video is pretty dark at night (I won't get daylight shots until tomorrow). Did you guys adjust the brightness settings at all, or just leave them at default?

I have all of the LEDs and voices disabled, and removed the GPS speed overlay on the video for now. It's hard-wired to switched power, so it stops recording when the car is turned off (no parking mode).

Just bought it as well, should be here next week.

I want to use parking mode. Do I have to hardwire to a constant power source when no key is in the ignition? Will it drain my battery after 24 hrs?

Has to be hardwired to a constant source and no it won't drain until maybe 72 hours or more.

I leave a battery pak jumper in my car because of all the crap i have installed. Never know - i want to hardwire mine as well though.
