Any1 knw how to dismentle 380G-HD?

 

Cant find any screws.. Wana chg e battery for power off and date/time

 

TIA

 

I do not have the 380G-HD. But if it is similar to the 400, then it is simple. Locate the four tiny rubber cover. Prise it out and the screws are below.

Initially I was thinking to buy from Qxx as well. But after much consideration, actually buying locally still ok although price on Qxx still cheaper (but by not much). $500, sometimes if you are unlucky, you will still be tax for GST. The inconvenience to claim warranty (looking at the messages in Qxx makes me worry) and no installation. Unless you are good at DIY

 

Anyway, it is my personal view

You probably never search properly.

There's one selling at around S$300, make it S$350 if you add in installation fee (got mine done at $40).

 

That's easily $200 difference. But of course there is no warranty. So that is for individual to decide whether to risk or not. The seller do provide warranty but you will have to ship it back to them which will takes time.

I use the Blackvue 650 front and rear video camera, I notice when the video records from the front and switches to the rear recording a few seconds of recording will go missing. I.e if you watch the front camera and the next front camera footage a few seconds will disappear in between. Anyone face this issue?

I'm also using the same camera. Not sure there is such an issue. Later I go and check.

 

So you are saying only front camera footage a few seconds missing between each file? Or just the part when it boots up?

Its throughout the recording i.e usually the recording is like

 

1. XXXX1F

1.XXXX1R

2.XXXX2F

3.XXXX2R

 

Between the 1 & 2 there will be a few seconds no footage captured. Don't mind can help me check and see if this is the case on yours? Best use the PC to view, more zhun.

U shu use UHS-1 enabled if possible.

Also what player u using on pc to watch?

[Mercury1]

Nah using a sandisk sdcard supposedly high speed for video's, player I am using the blackvuew one. But I used VLC and the results were the same. What us UHS1? Is this a BV setting on the sdcard?

Em if u r using sandisk ultra shu b already uhs-1 enabled. It means it can capture videos 2x faster than normal sdcard.

How about try format again?

U know if u long press the wifi button it does a complete format of your sd card?

I haven't notice the lag yet, will try it when got time.

I know previous model the subsequent files r recorded 1-2seconds earlier so there wil b overlaps.

[Mercury1]

Haha ah okay thanks for clarifying.

 

Later I try to format it clean and maybe update the firmware and see if it improves things.

Did u buy imported set?

I read if u buy imported set n its not international version u might face strange prbs like the one u mentioned.

Cos they merely forcing the korean firmware to operate like english.

If u go qoo10, some dealers r pointing at certain ones saying they selling fake international (korean) version.

If you are as unlucky as me, the front camera did not work after first night. I got a new set installed the next day.

 

Warranty will be cumbersome if this happens on an unlucky day.

Agree that there is some risk involved in buying from oversea.

 

However, camera fails to work on an unlucky day will applies to local, oversea or used sets. Warranty set doesn't mean it will never fails during the period.

 

It is never to compare (and compete) to see which is better, is just to provide feedback and opinion on the options available for everyone.

[Mercury1]

Hi,

 

Yep mine is an imported set, but I have imported in others before no probs. Also the seller sells international sets to alot of overseas customers and so far no complaints. I will try to update the firmware and see what happens.

 

Just to add I buy from ebay

Anyone can help me out on my newly installed bv650?

The unit was installed with magic power for parked recording. In less than a month, the front camera got hanged. It works a while after reset but hangs indefinitely with no lights on during park.

 

At next engine start, it remains hanged.

 

Is it due to heat induced?

Since it's not a normal behaviour and it's new,I reckon you should take it back to the shop for verification??

Went back to installer. They claim my micro SD 64gb from Bangkok (Kingston and they format with firmware) is the root cause. Plucked in the original bv card and appears fine. Will monitor and share.

 

AD says bv650 does not have overheating issue as the fix is done.
