25% off BlackVue DR900X-PLUS 4K dual camera dash cam
Front camera: 8 megapixels CMOS sensor recording in 4K Ultra High Definition (3840×2160) at 30FPS.
Rear camera: 2.1 megapixels Sony STARVIS™ recording in Full HD (1920×1080) at 30FPS.
Hardwire included and no need for PMP like the old S series. PMP can still be used if you want easier control of parking mode as you dont have to connect to the camera if you want to turn park mode on/off.
Post which one u have. I'm the market to move away from "moneyvue"
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32879744143.html?spm=a2g0o.p…
this is the one I have… Very happy with it. I bought mine several years ago.
Then I bought this one as a present https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32931282121.html?spm=a2g0o.p… this is more advanced.
4k https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001333431211.html?spm=a2g0o…
Can you recommend a model?
Is there something that competes with the 900X?
I have a Viofo A129 and it's been great and lasts in summer with capacitor instead of battery.
These pop up on sale here every now and then
The a129 pro, doesn't mention codec though.

Thanks man. How's the online / cloud UI?
Don't know, don't use it. Have no need for it. It's all recorded on SD card.
Maybe that’s your answer then , the BlackVue has more features ?
@Musiclover: Sure, you just said you don’t understand the BlackVue cameras. But they offer a whole bunch of things like wifi connection, mobile app, back camera, parking mode, 4K , gps, h265 encoding etc.
Might not be of value to you, but others value these features.
@davef: Xiaomi have wifi connection, mobile app, back camera, 4k, h264 encoding (what do you gain with h265? h264 is enough for the purpose). I just said I do not know about cloud (or parking mode) they might have those feautures but I do not need them. You mention of the feautures would be only valid if Xiaomi did not have them. Otherwise, you are listing the feautures Xiaomi have, why? This confuses people who are makeing the choice.
@Musiclover: I was just comparing to the one you linked. It described it was 1080p with a single camera but sorry if I’ve misunderstood.
@Musiclover: You said you owned this camera https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32879744143.html?spm=a2g0o.p…
Not sure why you’re being obtuse
@davef: Ah, you are "associated"? Trying to hawk those overpriced MoneyVue ones? The features are similar with Xiaomi, price is 4-8 times more. These are facts. You are right, I am obtuse. I do not understand what you are arguing with.
@Musiclover: What is H265 vs H264?
Back camera? You mean camera with in the car?
I agree with commenter below, the app is difficult. I have 750s-2ch and it either won't connect while sitting in garage at home or I first need to connect, then download, then move it to back up location.
Because videos are saved to app, not to an album
I thought maybe the Bluetooth version would mean a better connection or able to view the footage easier.
It's over complicated when it doesn't need to be
@Spending2Much: Not sure I understand the question. I think (not 100% sure) that Xiaomi uses h264 instead of h265. But for the end user it will not affect much. Not in case of a dash cam anyway.
H265 offers better compression, which is more relevant for streaming.
Ah makes sense then.
Can someone recommend me a good front and back dashcam that isnt going to break the bank?
viofo a139
Most popular on OzB is Viofo A129.
but it has parking mode issues so it depends on your actual needs.
I've got the A129 and it's been awesome.
Is this all time lowest price?
Yes, but it hasnt been out for that long. Might get a 30% off later but i havent seen one of those for a while.
Good timing. I’ve been waiting for price drop for a while and couldn’t be happier to purchase one. Thanks
I almost got one last time when it got sale. However the sales told me there are lot of issues with it. Most of them will be returned. Does anyone have any issues with it? like overheating issue (especially with 4k Model)?
I think these are largely to do with the SD card. Seems you need to have a Blackvue SD card and they aren't cheap
Don't overpay for a rebranded "blackvue card".
What you need is a "SanDisk High Endurance MicroSD" $50 for 256GB, been working fine for well over a year.
It seems to come with Blackvue 32gb card anyway
@89tnp: 32GB won't last at all, ideally you want the max storage so you can review older footage incase you notice a dent or something a few days later.
SanDisk High endurance didn't last long in my 750S. Has killed 2 in already and swapped back to samsung pro endurance without issues.
This camera is good, however the mobile App is a let down, I can't playback the videos without downloading it first from phone, there's an option to play directly but doesn't work well.
Mine streams fine from the device -> cloud -> mobile when using quick play
But my internet at home is slow uploads so only download original quality when needed to keep/view properly.
Same as connecting it directly to the camera over wifi through the app, need to be within range of course, direct connect works great. Fast…
Good when your in/near the car.
I hate that I have to pay $500+ to not deal with a clunky aesthetically disgusting POS dash cam. How hard is it to make something aesthetically pleasing and affordable ffs
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/254832377051 is $311 with eBay Plus or you can try https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/203083457486 for $189 with eBay Plus
Edit: the 1st link i gave seems like only one camera. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/274315584838 is for dual cameras and is $368
Roughly how much would it cost to get this installed?
$200+. Call the store as they vary due to who they outsource to or call around. There are some mobile guys who do it.
My local one quoted me $150 a couple of years back
Through Autobarn a few months ago for this model with the BlackVue Battery B124X as well it was $250 installed.
Oh That’s quite steep! I got the 900s model installed on my hatch along with power magic pro.
@Dreamboy: $200+ is standard these days. I got 4 quotes from autobarn, strathfield car radios and 2 mobile installers and all were over $200.
look at youtube videos and diy.
Just bought a 128gb Samsung endurance pro for $34
They don't make 256 unfortunately. What size do you have?
What cameras?
Samsung now make a 256gb Pro Endurance. The whole range has even refreshed
What's the impact to car battery?
Is this better value? Uniden Dashview30R?
https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Shop-our-Full-R…
Have been waiting for a deal for a while, and decided I definitely needed to get one after someone did a hit and run on my car recently.
Was tossing up between this and the 750x, ended up going with the 900. Cheers OP
Could never understand these dash cameras when you could get Xiaomi for fraction of the price. Xiaomi dash cameras are great in quality, never any problem for years.
