Thank you for the upload my man...this item has been sitting in my Amazon Cart for awhile now until I could watch a competent video about the unit. Seems the way to go as far as features are concerned.

Again, thank you!

Have the 550 for over three years. Absolutely flawless camera.

Does the 2nd camera require a seperate mount aswell ?
And can you operate it as is, without having to use a phone app ?

Out of the hundreds of reviews I have looked at :( I really like your review. I like how you showed the iPhone app in real time. This is the one I will most likely buy, the negative reviews I have read is holding me back. I'm hoping in a short time they will improve it when I'm ready to purchase. Is there another 2 ch you like better? I love the iPhone app and I don't thin anyone comes close to it.

hi, i know that it has wi-fi broadcast, but what is the buffering speed to the mobile device for 1, 2, 3 min Full HD videos from DR? or how long does it takes to copy a Full HD video file from DR to mobile device through wi-fi? thanx for your answer

i have a Toyota Camry SE with no glass windows on the back rear of the car...so it's good not to get the two channels but just single camera only right? or i still can buy it and use it somehow? where would i install the second camera it if i get the DR650GW-2CH??

[MrJessDancing]

How has the durability/reliability been for you personally as well as what you have learned from customers via the store? I want to install this but have read some issues regarding durability.

 I am rather disappointed with the DR500GW-HD. Support never replies. Today I drove for 90 minutes and only 2 clips, the last 4 minutes were found. Sometimes the playback video jump and freeze. I have tried to playback and sometime being told the file is corrupted.
There has been no firmware upgrade since June 2014. Now I hear this cam is discontinued. Will that mean there will be no more firmware upgrades? Support does not reply to this.

Can this dash cam be used for road trips of more than 3 hours for continual recording?

Good review, very well done. Thank you.

We go over both elements to this dashboard video camera in detail, discussing the functionality and highlighting the best features. We show you how to use the BlackVue app for your smartphone, including a live video demonstration from both front and rear lens elements. Also shown in the video are the accessories and a preview of the user manual.

Then in the video we talk about the Power Magic Pro, what it does, how it works, and setting it up. We cover how the Power Magic Pro differs from the normal Power Magic. Enjoy!
