Video Description

The DR650GW is nearly four years old and no longer recommended. We suggest you look at our 2018 Top Premium Cameras video for our latest recommendations. https://youtu.be/_KqLAJa8ZGM For our full recommendations see our "Best Dash Cams for 2018 Article" on our website: https://www.carcamcentral.com/guide/best-dash-cams-car-dvrs-black-boxes-of-2018 - - - The DR650GW is a top camera delivering on functionality and ease of use. It's a top choice for many luxury vehicles because of it's sleek style. While the video quality isn't amazing, that's common among dual channel cameras because of the added complexity. It makes up for it with an easier installation and great parking features. - - - UPDATE: Nov 24th, 2016 The Thinkware F770 is a better camera for most users over the Blackvue DR650GW. It has better functionality and video quality. See our review here: https://youtu.be/yjEPJtQ5PdA Blackvue has improved the footage since this review as new firmware was released. That update increased the bitrate which improves details in complex environments. DR650S Model Since this camera was reviewed Blackvue launched the "S" model but from our research and Blackvue's own statement, little has improved. The video quality is nearly the same.

Since Jan 2017 we have purchased all dash cameras we review and we do not have paid relationships with manufacturers. We only recommend products after hours of research, hands-on testing and analysis. - - - GET IT USA // CANADA Our recommended retailer for the DR650GW because they have extensive experience in hardwiring luxury vehicles. For example some BMWs will spit out an error message if you tap the wrong circuit. I'm happy to admit where I'm not an expert, go ask them for hardwiring advice. Check out their Instagram to see some of the vehicles they've worked on: https://www.instagram.com/blackboxmycar For the best service purchase through their online store.
