so should I invest in a more expensive one or are they all kinda prone to heat issues after a year or two...capacitors or not?
I had a blackvue and I will not buy another one of their products.......reliability is questionable. There are cheaper cameras out there that has a better operating temp range.

How often are you having to clean the lenses?

My DR400-II is shit.
Battery is dead, lens is always hazed, too lazy to constantly pull and clean.
Since the batt is fukked the abrubt shutdowns are wrecking the sd cards as well.
Even when i see it running, lot of time there's no vid on the sd card.

Was that Taxi really backing up? I dont think that would be a good idea.. if something under the vehicle was to puncture the guy, wouldnt it cut him wide open??

If there was enough people, lifting it up and off the body and then pull him out...

Taxi was way late going through that intersection. Probably traveling to fast for conditions and couldn't stop in time so decided to go through. Light changed RED at point of impact. Poor decision on RSX driver too. Now innocent bystanders pay the price. Fuck.

Berz out.

Anyone else have issues with the rear cam on the DR650GW-2CH?

Mine will turn on if I reboot from the PMP, light comes on, then it will proceed to record maybe 1 or 2 clips then no longer work. Blackvue app will connect to rear cam but doesn't show a picture

The front still works fine I guess but kinda defeats the purpose of getting a 2ch.

sooooo reliable.....

When you say work 1 or 2 clip, you mean only the rear camera and the front will keep recording? How is you rear camera installed? Is the rear cable always flexing when you open the rear hatch? If so it is probably a bad cable.

Yup front will keep recording. No hatch, 4 dr sedan so camera doesnt move.

Its consistent; every time I reboot the system the rear will start recording with the front for like 2 clips then crap out. I haven't unplugged the rear cam ever.

No issues here. Unplug the cord for rear camera and check the wire, I've read that they are easily bent during installation.

If you look inside the cable there's a very thin pin. Make sure it's not bent on both ends, and make sure you didn't forcefully insert it (ha!).

There's supposed to be a little gold showing when it's fully plugged in. Warranty it if it persists. Mine's perfectly fine.

How's the quality? Was thinking of purchasing one or wait for the A119s model.
