I still don't understand if it has a warranty, or if the camera only operates in Korean.

Do you really need a pic for this? Hard wire will be tapping in a 12v wire inside the dash, such as the lighter or aux power source. You can run the wires to the pillars up to the roof line and down to your dash cam. For the lighter install, you're just plugging it in (taking up the plug) and you can hide the wires the same way or have them hanging around.

what's the difference between this and the ones sold on ebay? besides the fact that the ebay one's original language is Korean and flashed to English firmware and also only $180ish US??

The products we got are English version with English manual,firmeware and voice speaking.

I don't have any experience with Ebay Dr400g hd. You can get answer from someone who ordered from EBAY.
But remember this important notice from Blackvue.

I am sorry English is not my first language. I will try my best to improve that.

Interested, the bad drivers thread has me convinced of the importance of a dash cam. I'm debating between which shop to order from, or to just go through ebay, need to see if the GB hits 30.

I'd like to know where the install is done, and by who, and by that I mean, what are the qualifications of the installers?

For cigarette adaptor installation, it is easy. For hardwiring, I will use add-a-circuit to get it done from fuse box. I don't have any qualification but I have been done a lot of cars. If you don't trust my work, you can do it yourself or I can send you to some mechanic shops to get it done. Thanks.

If you guys would like to hardwire power magic by yourself, that's good. I encourage for DIY. If you need help, I can send you to a local ICBC bodyshop to get it done. Thanks.

Hang on, the first group buy is closed? It's July 17th today... When I checked it last week, you said if the group buy hit 30+ people by July 20th, you would drop the price to like $230 for the DR400G, and like $190 for the DR380. That implies a minimum of 30 people, with no set limit on how many units get sold. Did we get to 30+ people? Was there some sort of limit on the number of units you were selling? Are we still being offered that price? And why have you taken the prices and number of people sign up off the first post?

Don't get me wrong, this is probably the cheapest you can find these cameras in the area, but you seem to have a few funny business practices going on... You make a limited time offer, then cut it short without notice (or reason). You offer a price, then take it down so people have to PM you (I saw this happen on the VIC forum). I would've been happy to pay the $250 or so for a DR380 plus the Power Magic, but if this is how you treat people before they buy, then I'm a little concerned what's going to happen once you get their money.

You mean the first post, that you edited at 10:11 AM on Tuesday, July 17th, which is about twenty minutes ago? When I checked an hour ago, there were no prices listed. I appreciate the fact that you put them back up, but that still doesn't change the fact that you told people that the group buy was closed and took down the prices (apparently a couple days ago, given the dates on the previous couple posts), which implies that you're not selling anymore. There was even one person that asked when the second group buy was.

And yes, I know you're from VIC... That's how I found out about this group buy, and I appreciate that. I remember there were a few of us trying to get a group buy going a couple months ago, unsuccessfully, and you've made it happen. And like I said, this is probably the cheapest you can find these in-town, so kudos to you for making that happen. However, the reason I brought up VIC is because you made a For Sale thread in the "Private Classifieds" (I'm surprised you're not a vendor yet), listing the prices for both the DR400G and DR380, then removed the prices for both within the same day, at which point about four people posted in the thread requesting a price. It even says in the Classified Forum rules (on VIC) that you have to put a price in.

Yes, I do only have two posts on RS (three now, actually). And yes, one of them was specifically in response to this thread. But, I started my RS account in order to find out more about meets, cruises, and group buys. Whether or not I post a lot shouldn't matter. However, I did feel the need to reply to this thread because I disagree with how you're running things, and wanted to voice my concern (for my benefit and others). I didn't feel the need to post this on the VIC site because that's not where this is happening, but I can bring it up there, if you prefer.

Perhaps it's inexperience in sales, perhaps it's miscommunication (due to poor English skills or otherwise), or perhaps it's something else altogether, but you're not being very straight with the people who want to be your customers. Editing your posts and pretending it never happened isn't going to change that.

pope face,

While OP's post can be more concise, bottom-line is you can get a BlackVue at the GB price, now:

What in the world does post count have to do with anything? This man is a potential customer of yours. I concur with pope face, that was kind of a shady business practice man..good that you put it back up though.

I pmed all the groupbuy customer for Dr400 $230 and Dr380 $190 already yesterday even though it didn't hit 30 people. This morning it's already over 30 people sign up. Unfortunately, my english is poor or I might express somthing wrong. I don't ask for any deposits for the groupbuy. If you really think I am not straight forward or whatever, that's ok. Also, I do sell on VIC private classified thread because ASR's website will be done soon. I try to reduce some cost on advertisement. The profit margin of dash camera is pretty small. I tried to help some club members to get better deal. Price on revscene or vic are same.

The reason I don't post price is simple because I am thinking about my retailers. They are doing the retail. The price must be higher than me. I pm all the members on revscene and vic for $230 for dr400. And even when I just open ASR I even gave lower price than $230 for the grand opening promotion.I just want to show my sincerity to all the customers. If I post the price, how could these retail store make money?They are also my customers. I am a fair and honest guy on Revscene. Some revscene members already picked up the dash cameras from ASR such as Belaud, Ko7. Starting from today till 30 of Auguest, I made an offer for free hardwiring installation. If some customer worry about my hardwiring job, our business partner Fastrack Autobody can do the hardwiring for you, but it's not free.
In order to avoid futher more misunderstood, ASR website will be clear for price.
