Look no further if you were looking for the best camera for your car or truck. This camera can do everything you need without compromising on design or stability.
About the windshield camera (4K)
BlackVue's windscreen camera is absolutely one of the best cameras for the car or truck we have tested. It is packed with cool features, such as GPS, WiFi hotspot, microphone, 3-axis accelerometer that can detect accidents and the G impact, rear window camera, Parking mode and much more, which you can see in the specifications further down the page. The recordings can either be played directly on the mobile over WiFi or by moving the SD card to your computer and using the program that comes with it. In the program you have the full overview, as you can see both the windscreen camera + rear window camera + location on google maps / road map at the same time as you can also see results on the various meters, so you can see how hard you brake, accelerate or swung in the vehicle. See a demonstration of these things in the video below.
The recordings are in 4K (8MP) and can be played directly from mobile/tablet/PC or automatically uploaded to a cloud. The cloud storage space is owned by BlackVu and there may be a fee associated with using it, but it is only necessary if you want automatic backup. The cloud is free for a single cam per user - read more about the cloud here
Parking condition is clearly something that should also be mentioned. The camera can also protect the car when it is parked. This means that if the vehicle is hit in unmanned mode, the camera records the incident and locks the file.
WiFi and microphone can be turned on and off separately. Wifi is turned off by pressing the button at the right end (seen from the driver's position) and the microphone is turned off by moving the hand near the left end of the camera by a sensor. Both parts are acknowledged by voice: "Wifi/audio-recording enabled (activated) or disabled (deactivated), but it is also possible to see a WiFi symbol on the camera.
Recordings are saved in 4K in the format H265 - So the large files 4K creates can be compressed as best as possible.
An LTE module can be purchased as an add-on so that the camera is always online and uploads the recordings to the cloud
Cool features that also deserve to be mentioned
-
Overwrite protection : The camera automatically records and also automatically overwrites the oldest files, so you don't have to change the card or do anything to maintain operation. BUT if an accident happens, it is very cool that the recordings are not overwritten. AND THEY DON'T, because the camera can even register an accident and "write-protects" the files leading up to the accident. You can also manually lock the files.
-
Detection of errors on the SD card : SD cards can wear down and fail, if an error occurs on the card so that the camera cannot record, a voice will say: "Please check SD card" voice alert.
About the rear window camera (FullHD)
The rear-view camera is mounted in the rear window (or, for example, the cabin in a taxi) and connected to the front-view camera. The front window camera detects the rear window camera itself. To fix it, you can have the APP open on your mobile while you rotate the camera in place. There is a small discrete diode in the rear window camera that makes it possible to check the status via the rear view mirror, so you are sure it is switched on.
The kit contains:
- Windscreen camera
- Rear window camera
- 6 meter cable for the connection between the front window camera and the rear window camera
- MicroSD card 32GB (BlackVue)
- Power cable for permanent installation (installation in the car wiring harness)
- Power cable for temporary assembly (cigarette lighter)
- microSD card reader (for use in a PC without a card reader/USB)
- Cable clip
- Double-sided tape for the mounting bracket
- Strip tool (easily store cables behind strips)
- Quick start guide
About the Installation:
It doesn't take long to install the camera. There are two ways to connect it to power.
- With the included cigarette lighter plug
- Directly in the car's wiring harness (If you need to know which wires you need, contact your local mechanic, they know all about that. They can often also do the installation.)
The installation includes the following phases:
- Insert SD card.
- Place the windscreen camera in the desired location (Double-sided tape)
- Put the rear window camera in the desired location (Double-sided tape)
- Pull the cable from the rear to the windscreen camera (the cable can almost always be hidden in moldings - see our videos)
- Connect power
- Download the app and set up the camera as you wish.
