Another great thing about the Opia is that it comes with a swivel mount. Useful for capturing police encounters, road rage etc.
It doesn’t actually swivel around enough to aim towards a side window though
Vortex Radar my mount does. Perhaps your mount is a different one? Mine can spin around, chord is the only issue with preventing full 360 turns.
Oh wow that’s good to know!
I just looked back through my test footage and you're right. It's not perfect and the footage will be crooked, but it can do the job to capture what happened.
Thanks for mentioning this. Sounds like what I may need. How it's audio on the Opia?
I have to say, thanks to both of you *_Vortex Radar_* and *_BlackboxMyCar_* for your thorough reviews you did in your own TH-cam channels. Those reviews were truly helpful for me to decide which dashcam was suitable for me.
Therefore I bought the _Blackvue dr750s-2ch_ , a _Cellink B Power Bank_ to power the dashcam and a _Lexar High-Performance MicroSDXC, 633x, 128 GB, UHS-I_ . 👍
Thank you!! So great to hear we were able to help out with your decision :)
How do you like the microsd card? Was trying to find articles on good MLC cards. The samsung Endurance looks good but expensive.
How much all together?
Bought two Transcend 220's two years ago for each car. Flawless operation, fire n forget. Recommended.
I bought the Thinkware from them and it’s a pretty good camera. No complains aside from the WiFi app is buggy when trying to watch back recorded videos...
I use the Garmin 55 Dash Cam, one of the best I have used. 3.7 Megapixel 1440p Camera with a 122 degree lens, Voice Control with GPS, Forward collision and lane departure warnings.... plus alerts for nearby red light cameras and speed cameras. Voice control allows you to start/stop audio recording, take a still picture or start/stop the Travelaps video capture feature, WiFi, and much More. I have used 4 others before this one, and at this moment, the Garmin is the best.
Good video. I would have liked to know a couple more things about each of these (yes, I know it was an "over-view" of them, not in depth) like: 1.) how do each attach? Suction? Sticky tape? Window only mount? 2.) Power supply? TY
I have the A119. I'm pretty sure it does 1440p also. Like mine a lot. Only complaint was the mount was a bit loose and rattled just a bit. I tightened it up with a couple pieces of zip ties stuck in between the mount and the camera.
Has great useful features for making sure it IS ACTUALLY recording. It beeps at you if something has gone wrong and it's bit recording.
My first dashcam was the Blackvue dr400g season 2 in 2012. It was brand new at the time it came out and I still use it to this day. So far its showing its age and I often question "I hope it got that video!" In my 5.25 years of ownership I take the camera inside every night. The cable stays inside the car overnight. I get a new memory card every year vs recycling old cards. Pros with the blackvue, durability as its fallen off of my windshield more times than i can count hitting my dash. It has turned on working everytime without me having to question if it turned on or not. Cons the computer software/app is wonky and makes no sense. No more app updates for my older unit. The gps stopped working less than 3 years. The power cable had to be replaced after 2.5 years. When formatting the memory card and putting it back into the dash cam it won't work. The dash cam speaks Korean to me so I'm unsure what its saying. Overall it might seems like I hate the Blackvue but I honestly recommend it. Caught this cash on my blackvue th-cam.com/video/pvRDYLZEfb4/w-d-xo.html
I bought my wife's Thinkware F770 from BlackboxMyCar. It's working noticeably better than my F750 that I got from BestBuy. Looks very cold wherever you are.
haha yeah, it was frozen that morning. The table we were on was actually iced over so I laid down a tarp (actually my tent's footprint) and covered that with a red blanket to prevent everything from getting wet and frozen. ;)
Thank you for the support!
BlackboxMyCar is the best place to purchase any type of Dash Cam and accessories. I have purchased two DCs' from them including a Cellink Battery and they sent me the hard wiring kits for these units.
Whenever i feel like i want to shoot Video of both the Front doors these cameras have Option to Shoot outside at any time like a Vlogger and do not want to shoot video of (Front and inside the Rear Room) , then the SKYBLUESEA B2W & CAMSONIC ULTRA Z 2 & 3 Dash Cam Benefits if a person want to shoot a video outside the front doors sides Left & Right. Option like Rear View Mirror , would be easy to change the direction to record Multiple Angles of both the Cams accordingly , option to Rotate , as they Rotates 180 degrees , like Rear view Mirror Angle . I love those Dash Cams .
Sean adds reliable tech and hands on info. Thanks.
The Yi dash cam is also pretty good at $50. It's got wifi, and video quality 95% of the A119. You should do a review of it.
I own it and its been great.
Which particular one do you have? There are many versions of the Yi dash cam.
www.amazon.com/dp/B01C89GCHU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_heg-AbQFMVCNP
I've had it for 6 months and I haven't had any issues.
What about auto focus? Many reviews complain that the video gets blurry
Are these easy to install, especially the 2 channels, and don't need professional installation? I wish you have "preferred installers" list in each state.
since I'm poor I want to put a sticker or 2 that says under surveillance, or smile for the camera. would this work? to atleast deter door dingers?
Can't wait for blackvue 950 s... 4K video with steaming to the cloud.
Why didn't you include the DR900s in this comparative lineup. I enjoyed your overview video of it and am looking forward to the follow up video. I'm on the verge of buying it. Some of the features that are most attractive to me are the size and the built-in GPS compared to the other BlackVue models where you need extra items mounted to your windshield. I'd love to hear your comments or follow up on it the 900.
Thanks!
haha easy, because that camera didn't exist at the time the video was shot. :D It's a great camera and I love it now. It's my favorite dashcam, and it's basically a DR750S that shoots in 4K and isn't quite as sensitive in low light. I shot an updated version of this video a few weeks ago and plan on working on it soon and it features the DR900S.
@@VortexRadar haha... Yes I saw the date discrepancy after I sent my initial note. Thanks for the reply. So if money isn't really a factor, that's the cam you'd recommend? It will be going into a new Ford Explorer Platinum and I would do a direct wire install from the fuse box and I'll likely get a Uni R3 and direct wire that from the rear view mirror. I was going to get the 360 until I saw your video. So glad I found your channel. I just assumed the most expensive was the best.
Can you please tell me what dash camera is the best option? I have a suv so I am looking for front and rear..easy installation and quality. Kind regards
So which one is the best one?
Can you guys plz tell if they do well in very hot climates and have a good image during night time?
I have the A119 and it stays on when my vehicle is parked and turned off. I do not have it hardwired into my vehicle power system. It's plugged into a cigarette lighter power adapter.
If the front and rear cameras miss the sides of the vehicle, how will it help to know someone crashed into your door? Are there FOUR channel auto cameras?
I so needed this thanks I’ve been lost in product for weeks, helped me zero.
Any advice on what cam is best for a technologically challenged person? something just plug and go, where nothing can go wrong?
Something like an A119 or Opia2 would be great. Just stick it onto your windshield, plug it into your cig. lighter, done.
kinda curious about why Dod products are never mentioned? My Dod 460W is FANTASTIC and has actually been upgraded from there.
I’m looking for a camera mostly for security when parking, specifically the ability to see sideways out the door windows. I have the Waylens 360 4G but am disappointed with clarity and connection issues. Is there any other cameras that offer more than a front and cabin view or possibly a wider cabin angle?
Hi, i would like a 2 ch dash cam for my convertible but I'm not sure if the rear cam would do the job adequately enough mounted on the front windscreen. Have you guys ever fitted a 2 ch this way before, or is there an alternative i'm not aware of? Many thanks
Martin
I need your help agin.. I bought a new phone and can't get my DR900 to connect to the wifi with the password.And yes, i had the wifi turned on in my phone. Nothings been changed . Help plz. ''
Y'all never talked about the memory cap with the SD cards, and only one video of night time video, it would have been nice all the cameras with night time. As well as how are they all hooked up in the car to power them.
This is a short summary of all the cameras, not an in depth comparison review of every detail for every camera. I've got more in depth reviews on my channel if you're looking for those. Any dashcam can be powered into your cig. lighter or hardwired into your fuse box. Some offer voltage monitors for parking mode or dedicated battery packs. You'll find info about these on my channel as well.
I thank you for the reply, and I will be sure to have a look see.
I currently run the Thinkware F750, is it worth upgrading to the F800pro?
Thanks good review. Now that more cars are coming equipped with cameras I am wondering if manufactures are thinking about integrating those with a recording\playback device. Having the wires hanging around are a bit of a put off as is hardwiring done by someone not familiar with your car make.
There are some cars that are starting to come with dashcams built in. The Corvette has one for track usage, but the quality doesn’t look very good. Having one that you. Can upgrade down the line is helpful too. Trade-offs I suppose. :)
So would you dedicate a smart phone to the device and tether?
how do u get video of interior? do u need to install another 2 channel system specifically for interior? or do those cameras rotate to record a video on parking mode? im really trying to look for an answer.
i am looking for a dual cam front and back but can also get a video from the inside to have a view of both sides of the car for vandalism protection purposes.
So funny enough, there's no all-in-one 3 channel solutions like you're describing. Usually what people do is get a rideshare setup that has a normal front facing dashcam and a second interior dashcam with IR LED's to light up the cabin at night. Then you get a standalone third regular dashcam to mount on the rear and now you have your 3-channel setup. Here's a couple examples: www.blackboxmycar.com/collections/rideshare-bundles?aff=18
Thanks for the video, great info!! What would you recommend for a camera that you can use between different cars, I.e. rental cars or going away and using a loaner ?
Most anything with a suction cup works fine.
Ahh perfect. My father's and my DR-650s-2ch both died recently after 10 months of ownership. (Texas heat I assume killed them.) So we are both in the market for new dual channel set-ups.
Any recommendations for standing up to particularly hot climates?
Yesterday the Blacksys CH-200 was $299 on BlackboxMyCar and today it is $319 :(
We definitely recommend the Thinkware F800 Pro or BlackSys CH-200 - these two have the highest heat tolerance by far. Excellent build quality!
BlackboxMyCar Thanks!
Hi guys. If I buy off your website what is freight going to be to Australia?
great which one is best Yi or Rexing V1P Pro Dual 1080p?
question....
i want a dash cam but i also want to be able to record video for the day. I drive for a living and want a dash cam for safety/security and all...but i also want to be able to record my drive for the day and use that video for youtube or sharing with family/friends. All the cams ive seen say they record in 1-5 min loops. Which of course isnt a whole day recording...or recording till the sd card is full.
Any thoughts??
Thanks for any responses.
They actually record indefinitely. They 1-5 min loops are just to help keep file sizes small. This way one video clip is maybe 100 megabytes instead of several gigabytes. If you need to combine multiple clips into one longer video, you can easily do so in any video editor.
Once the memory card is full, it starts deleting old footage, 1-5 minutes at a time, way better than deleting a video file that could be hours long. It's much easier to have lots of little clips instead of a few big ones.
ty
I'm very late to dash cams. I'm wondering if these cameras can be used with tinted windows. Bought a used car with the windows already tinted.
Yep! Mine came with them too and they work great. The cameras compensate as needed. :)
Hi, what about high heat tolerance for the Thinkware F800? How much sun heat can it take? Mine seems to have died after I’ve been using it for just over a day and I suspect it’s the Johannesburg sun that killed it.
which brand did you use? thanks
The thinkware Fwhat what what can you say that a little faster , I can't catch that model number
I have used a Blackvue 650S two channel and on hot days the rear channel would fail , totally stopped working now even though the power light is on, never did well with the disconnect you must do to get the front camera out of the base when you want to pull the SD card out to copy a recording. I have no faith that the recording will be there when the chips are down . The main camera will sometimes complain about the SD card not being present even though its in the slot .
I want to buy the best dash cam
My question is when do the new dash cams come out for 2019...?
Want the news and best ...
Right now, BlackVue DR900S-2CH. bit.ly/2JroaiW
With Florida heat during the day,what camera would be the best in dealing with the heat?
The iroad x9 has good heat tolerance. bit.ly/2wbzF8j
Are all these cameras better than any of the Vantrue products ?
I like them better than my Vantrue cameras
One thing to keep in mind that they did not touch upon is reliability. Many dash cams are built for a sprint and not a marathon. The most reliable dashcam is the OPIA 1 AND 2. They are built to last.
Thanks for the feedback! Korean dashcams are definitely the most reliable dashcams (the best right now is Thinkware) - after all, Korean manufacturers were the first to enter the dashcam market with over 10+ years of usage.
OK so i bought the DR900S-2 ch. My question is,How do i set the time lapse in parking mode ?
Make sure you have the latest firmware. Check the settings in the app or the computer program.
I’m confused with the blackvue. Does the cam itself need to find a “hotspot”? Or does it have an “lte” type thing where it’s always broadcasting live? If it needs to find one, how does it? Do you do it manually?
It can either connect to an existing hotspot to go out to the internet or it can provide its own wifi hotspot for your phone to connect to to change settings or view videos on your memory card.
The BlackVue has the regular Wifi feature (think of it more as Bluetooth) where the unit emits Wifi that your phone can then connect to via the app. There is a range that limits this connection to about 25-30 feet away from the dashcam. The BlackVue also has a Cloud feature, which allows you to connect via the app but from anywhere and at anytime - this requires you to provide the dashcam with an Internet connection (via the form of a hotspot device). Hope this helps!
What do you think about the VAVA?
CAN THE BLACKSYS RECORD BOTH CAMERAS AT THE SAME TIME? IF NOT, ARE THERE ANY DUAL DASH CAMS THAT CAN DO IT???
Yep, dual dashcams are all designed to record with both cams at the same time. :)
Any chance you would have a recommendation between either of these 2 single channel models vs the OwlCam? I’m very interested in the OwlCam for its full time power mode and dual view. Just wondering how it compares to the Opia II. Thanks!
Yeah, I'm waiting for OwlCam to get some sample units available. They only have prototypes right now so we're all waiting for test units to be made available.
I have a 2002 Ford E-150 Conversion Van.
So i'm looking for a 3 channel das cam.
front, rear, inside of cab night vision,
And some type of HDMI or vid output. So i can cannect to a plasma TV thats in the back of the the vehicle. If that's even possible. Any suggestions?
Usually you'd be looking at a front/rear dashcam up front like the VanTrue N2 Pro amzn.to/2kClHHD and then you can toss in a simple dashcam like the A119 on the rear window. amzn.to/2ritPyg
Many cams have an HDMI or Video out port. Just take a close look at the sides of the cameras where the ports are.
T.y.
Thanks for the video! As far as the Thinkware F800 Pro, I remember from your comparison with the DR750S that the F800 Pro has a delay when switching from Parking mode to Driving mode and you could of miss an accident when you pulled out from a parking lot. So, which one is better? F800 Pro or the DR750S? Thanks!
I prefer the DR750S between those two. See this video for more detailed info:
Blackvue DR750S-2CH vs. Thinkware F800 Pro vs. DOD RC500S: Best High End Dashcam? th-cam.com/video/1TOJ7arEV_A/w-d-xo.html
Can anyone tell me how the picture quality for both day and night time is affected with dark window tint on the rear wind
In Dubai we are living in extreme hot weather +45°
In direct sunlight it's +60°
I don't know what to do and what to buy 👎
Thank again, Ariel! Love the video :)
I believe I am looking for a 360 camera. Because none of them allow you to see yourself or any exchanges if stopped by the police. I would want something that shows your side front windows also.
J G Google waylens 360 Camera. It's pretty new, seems interesting, has 360 coverage, and one version is said to have 4G.
So how does it see out the rear? #it cant
The Blackvue has a 2nd channel cam you can mount anywhere. I have it mounted under my rear view mirror and see everything inside the car for driving Uber.
Cool Thanks
Unfortunately, no single dashcam will get you a 360 degree field of view. You would be looking at a 4-channel setup found here: www.blackboxmycar.com/collections/4-channel-dash-cams
I like the first two. The idea of "access it from your phone" is just getting old for me. I'm at the point where when I don't need to use my phone, I turn it off and into my pocket in my desk.
Same here. There's already too much junk on mine. Plus it can be a distraction from my messaging when driving 😏
OMG @ 1:49 he's driving right around Redmond, WA right next to Redmond Town center. I've been watching your channel for a while and never knew you lived in the Seattle area hahaha
haha yes sir! Howdy neighbor! Good eye. ;)
I just want one that will reliably stick to my (clean!) windshield without falling down, is that too much to ask?
Usually the ones with the double stick tape (which is all of the dashcams listed here) is the way to go. Suction cups usually don't stick as well.
Mount it low so it's not a big deal when it does.
Anyone have a video of the blackvu rear with a tint on it day/night?
Is there a dash cam that doesnt use the car battery??
You can use a dedicated battery like the Blackvue B-124 or Cellink Neo.
Can someone tell me how to playback dash cam videos on a iPad ? A link to the product would be great! I don’t have a computer thanks guys 👍
You'll want a dashcam with WiFi. You connect to the dashcam using the app, download the video file over WiFi, and then play it on your iPad.
Vortex Radar thank you !! So attentive to your subscribers!
Love vortex channel!!
if you park beside somebody and you have a cameras facing in front and behind, will it detect and will you see a car door being opened beside you? Also in the park mode, if your using it to record stuff while you're away from your vehicle, isn't it possible that now your camera will being easily seen by people walking by and possibly stolen now? thanks
Front and rear cameras only see front and rear, not the sides. As for parked recording, sure it may be seen, but many times not. Plus some newer dashcams can automatically upload parked events now for this exact reason. ;) The Thinkware F800 Pro and BlackVue DR750S and DR900S have been updated to add this ability.
upload parked events? what does that exactly mean. If somebody breaks in say from the side, reaches in and takes the cam off the dashboard, what exactly will it record? Sorry if my question sounds stupid
When the camera senses an event while parked such as an impact detected, if you’re parked near a WiFi hotspot it can connect to, it can automatically upload that video clip to the cloud. That way you have the video saved immediately, plus you have it in case the dashcams themselves are stolen. It’s an extra layer of protection.
You guys are great. Thank you for the review.
I would like to see one that does the front the back and both sides and then the interior
119 my favorite cam so far !!!!!
Any recommendation on a 360 camera in park mode? and an installer in Portland?
You would want two 2-channel dashcams (so 4 cameras in total). We have some bundles made specifically for this here: www.blackboxmycar.com/collections/4-channel-dash-cams
What about Vantrue X3, is it a good camera?
There’s lots of great cameras. :)
*That's* where my table went.
lol
hey love your videos what will be the best cam and i need one for when i take my car to the shop to get work done on it to make show they not drive my car fast cause i have a fast car the last guy that fix one of my car been racing it and try to charge me to fix it i just need a real good cam to make sure this dont happens no more thanks
Anything with GPS. A front only cam like the A119 will be perfect for capturing just the driving. If you want it recording when you’re in the shop, get a cam and power solution like the BlackVue that’s great with parked recording.
Vortex Radar so the blackvue come with everything i need and would it run down my battery
Make sure you order it with the Power Magic Pro or a battery of your choice like the B-112 or a Cellink
Vortex Radar thanks
Great video, very informative.
Which is best for Uber or Lyft?
Something like the A119 or BlackSys is great for recording your surroundings while you drive. If you want to record inside the car, you can use the rear camera on the windshield but flipped around to capture inside the car. The Vantrue N2 Pro is a popular option as well because it has an integrated rear-facing camera in the windshield dashcam so it's designed for this option. It's a specialty camera that we didn't cover here. amzn.to/2kClHHD
We have a specific category for these dashcams found right here! www.blackboxmycar.com/collections/rideshare-bundles
Thanks to this video I'm going to buy the Thinkware F800 Pro for my car.
Cool. Let me know how you like it!
Please contact us for all your Thinkware needs! :) www.blackboxmycar.com/collections/thinkware/products/thinkware-f800-pro-dash-cam
Okay
Yeah, Internet accessibility is awesome! One can evaluate the driving and keep an eye on the wife or kids while they are out driving - one can point one’s camera in any direction for instant surveillance etc...
Nice video gentlemen. Will the thinkware work with an android phone vs. the iPhone?
Yep! There’s apps for both. 👍
VIOFO A19 2:31 bad, i have one already.
After 2 days got issue on GPS. The GPS mount was broken, the GPS mount was on but the wire must be connected direct to the camera. So this is not the only me, many others has same issue on that GPS mount.
After 1 year the quality on video was bad...Using Transcend High endurance 32GB (10) formatting the card every month. but still bad... i will not recommend
r u guys in nashville, the gulch?
Awesome video keep up the great videos
I'm looking for a 2ch cam for my motorcycle
Vortex Radar could you please review Anker Roav dashcam?
I've tested the C1 Pro and it was okay, but I'm not a fan of the touch screen or how hard it is to remove the memory card so I prefer the A119 series cameras instead.
@@VortexRadar Thanks!
You really should enable english subtitles for non english speakers, it would help a Lot
Does dr 750s interfere DAB radio?how to solve it?
Nope
I want my cam to hide on the front of the rear view mirror, and I want it to loop the video, and I want rear view. I also want it to turn on and off automatically.
You mean something like this? amzn.to/2GvY6QQ
Well done Ariel thanks man.
Not a product review but a overview of what the company sells.
Great collaboration video!
I am going for thinkware pro 800
Great video very informative Thanks!
Vortex can you do a video of Opia 1 vs Opia 2?
You bet. :) I need to get more nighttime video comparisons to see the real benefit of the 1, but feature-wise, I definitely prefer the 2.
Pay little, get nothing. Pay alot and get features you don't need. How about these companies make a middle of the road dash cam that has the good sensors without all the fluff. I want 1080p 60fps, gps logging and good night vision. I don't need the cloud, parking mode.
Sooooo, the A119s? amzn.to/2J3E0Q3 You described it to a t.
Well I just looked at this on amazon and out of 353 reviews, it got 3 stars. So it doesn't seem to fit the bill.
I have purchased my dash cam from them. Love I!
Thank you for the support!!
Street Guardian?
They should provide a discount code
Check the video description. ;)
Great video review, I am thinking about getting the Thinkware F800 Pro
South Korea has the best dashcams on the market..
i like your channel .
Black vue dr 750 the best
where the hell is the Yi they are top notch
and the proof?
ok, someone smashed the windows to my Porsche, I want to set up a camera to monitor my side windows along with front and rear camera. Just front and rear will not be enough if someone breaks into your car and you want evidence you can show to police.
Can't understand a lot of what your saying regarding brands. Slow down!
