Kevin613 1st Gear April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 bought mine from Q10 and installed it myself, cost less than half the amount from buying retail and having the shop install for you.. Pardon me if repeated post, but I am tempted to buy from Q10. Price is half of workshop. Any advice? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyngps 5th Gear April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 bought mine from Q10 and installed it myself, cost less than half the amount from buying retail and having the shop install for you.. Swee. So far how is the resolution etc? Looking at the HD with wifi capability. Just worried as sometimes not all Q10 stuff are genuine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin613 1st Gear April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 clear enough for me, i didnt download any of the videos onto my laptop, just viewing them via straming using the Blackvue app from google play. if it works with the Blackvue app, i think it's safe to assume it's the real deal.. just make sure to check seller rating and buy from seller with good reviews..

Thanks bro!!! So far I assume it does not run the battery dry and it has auto off function despite tapping in with wifi? Does your model comes with motion sensor?.

Kevin613 1st Gear April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 There's 1 wire that needs to tap ACC+(for when engine is running), 1 Wire to battery 12V(for when engine is not running), and 1 wire for Ground, which all can be found in your fusebox. It won't drain the battery when it's wired properly as i can set it to cut off when my battery hit a certain preset voltage. I kept my wifi off unless i need to connect it to my phone. What motion sensor do you mean? when car is moved/knocked in parking mode? Thanks bro!!! So far I assume it does not run the battery dry and it has auto off function despite tapping in with wifi?

Is there such a function as I saw it in some other cameras. Puzzling though on how does it conserves battery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin613 1st Gear April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 it's not really "off" when the engine is off, it's just simply discarding the recordings that aren't important, and keep the sections that has "Events", and mark the video as recorded in event mode, thats why these videos can always record up to 5-10 seconds before the events to show you what really happened.IIRC, the DR750LW-2CH can work in that mode up to 36 hours(configurable), or up till your battery has drain to preset level, whichever comes first.

Wolfverine Twincharged May 2, 2015 Share May 2, 2015 Heard that having LCD in Singapore context is not very appropriate as it will heat up even faster. Nevertheless, the wi-fi feature is sufficient for me as I don't need to have a view of it constantly. The 650 is currently on offer locally at $568.

Kevin613 1st Gear May 2, 2015 Share May 2, 2015 only if you leave the LCD on constantly.. i have the screen off all the time unless i interact with it, find it annoying if the screen is on when i drive at night..

Kevin613 1st Gear May 2, 2015 Share May 2, 2015 (edited) nope, DR750LW-2CH dont need power magic pro, it already has the voltage detect and power cut function built into the unit. Note that you need proper installation(which is DIY-able) for this to work, you will not be able to use this if you use the cigarette plug to power the unit. look at the specs in the link below http://www.blackvue.com/en/contents/sub1.asp?idx=25 btw, i successfully updated my unit to 1.012 using the FOTA method. It failed when i tried to update it for the first time, and the unit is stucked in "Downloading Firmware" screen. Without restarting the unit, i tried to connect my phone and upgrade the firmware again, and it went through without any issues. The whole uploading and upgrading process took about 15 minutes, and it will wipe all the settings, so be sure to reconfigure all your settings. also, not sure if it's placebo effect, the new firmware does feel more snappy, and the touch screen feels more responsive. The issue associated with my 128GB card where i have to power-cycle the unit after settings changed also seems to went away. Shall monitor if it has any other issues. Certain preset voltage?

VincentQuek Clutched May 3, 2015 Share May 3, 2015 Can someone do me a favour? As I mentioned above, my unit couldn't boot becos my firmware update failed.
