Yeah I'd send it back before it's too late. It's clearly been sold as a faulty unit.
Buy new and from genuine sellers (avoid the likes of eBay like the plague for stuff like this!).
This is really strange. Do you have another Micro SD Card you could try?
Where did you buy the camera from? Does it have a serial number (I don't need to know it, just wondering if it has one). It should be located on the camera around the thin part which clips into the holder (if that makes...
That's strange. You're definitely using the correct firmware for your model camera?
Edit: Some more thoughts... What micro SD card are you using? The one that came with it or a different one?
The LED ring on the side... is it flashing slow or fast would you say?
Finally... holding down the...
Sorry I don't quite understand! So you've formatted the card and then loaded the firmware onto the card? And you've been presented with the following screen on your computer after it finished?...
Have you loaded the software onto the micro sd card? I assume it's not just a blank card?
When you load the latest firmware onto the card and first plug it in the BlackVue does an upgrade (it tells you it is upgrading etc).
I have my light turned off in the settings so can't remember what it means when it flashes (it's more hidden, especially at night and when using the Parking Mode when the LED ring is turned off).
It usually flashes (and cycles through different colours) when you first turn the camera on until...
Yeah the Power Magic Pro has the option to switch the system off. I've personally never used it though because I didn't want it on display so mine is currently mounted in the same place as this (not my pic)
I didn't want the PMP or any wires on display, so if I ever want to turn the...
It was surprisingly easy to be honest, it just needs a couple of screws undoing in order to drop the headlining enough to feed the wire in to. I'm not confident when it comes to pulling my car to pieces or even unscrewing a screw but I managed to do it just fine :)
FYI - A cheaper alternative...
Yeah that's what I meant but didn't know how to word it! It records the data but doesn't save the data unless triggered by an event.
You can either plug it into your 12v cigarette lighter with the supplied cable or, as myself and many other have opted to do, hard-wire it into your fuse panel...
The cameras have both G sensors and movement sensors. So in Park Mode they will 'buffer' record (if that's the correct term? Record but not physically save it to the memory card) - a bit like Sky+ where it buffer records so that you can rewind live TV, but it doesn't actually save the programme...
How much is your insurance excess though? It could just save you £150+
You would be gutted if you went down the cheap route and it didn't perform when you needed it to.
+1 for the DR380G-HD.
I believe it's being discontinued though so worth investing before stock disappears - you will...
You boys should definitely get one! Best investment I ever made - money well spent too at less than the cost of my excess. I don't feel right driving without one now.
They will record when you're driving (obviously) and with the accompanying software you can view your exact location on a map in...
