BlackVue DR590X-1CH Full HD WiFi Dash Cam 32GB

In short, don't waste your time and money on this dashcam. Where the design is very nice, and the dashcam can be easily mounted out of sight in the car due to its compact shape, the positive points stop there very quickly. At first glance, the image quality seems good. Only.. Number plates are unreadable. Even in broad daylight at 50 km/h it is impossible to read number plates of oncoming traffic, and often even those in front. That's the whole point of a dashcam. I had this built into my car, so the dashcam also records while parking. With a handy voice notification, the dashcam lets you know when a collision has been detected. But that's something that happens every time. Rather useless message. The BlackVue app crashes every now and then (Samsung Galaxy S20+) and is not the most user-friendly app. A range of settings can even only be set during firmware installation. Look for a brand closer to BlackVue. The whole joke cost me a total of €350+ (dashcam + garage fitted) and to be honest, this purchase is of no use to me. Hopefully the now built-in power supply fits on another model dashcam, because this one will be removed.

Supplied complete with 2 cables: 1x open end and 1x 12V cigarette lighter plug. Clear Dutch manual. If you want to use a larger or different µSD card, you have to format it via the (PC) software. Windows format (exFAT) is not understood by the camera. The 1 minute files are in MP4 and can therefore be played in practically any video player. Unfortunately, the GPS is optional but can be ordered for around € 30.00 extra. Please note that the connection of the GPS is micro-USB and not a 3½mm jack. There are 2 types at Blackvue.

In principle, the dashcam can be glued directly to the window and connected without any further work. The settings of the dashcam such as the date and time are easy to set in the BlackVue App. The dashcam sends out a WiFi signal to which you can connect your phone and then adjust settings and watch live with the dashcam. By viewing your dashcam live, you can easily run your dashcam to get a good picture of everything and, for example, leave your dashboard out of the picture. The dashcam also says a phrase when turning the power on and off. This can be turned off in the app, but it's also nice to hear that your dashcam is up and running. This can also be seen via the lights on the dashcam. The Dashcam stopped recording images after a few months and no spoken sentences could be heard when switching it on and off. There was also no WiFi signal from the dashcam, so the app could not connect to the dashcam. Even tried the dashcam in another car with different cables, but nothing worked. Finally sent the dashcam to Coolblue for repair and received a new dashcam a few days later. I was curious what exactly was going on with the broken dashcam, but the new dashcam works great. I'm happy with it!
