Anyone bought the Blackvue camera from the massbuy here a few months back.


Recommended Posts

Can share how is this camera so far? I nearly wanted to buy at motor show, but held back.

I am currently using my Garmin and mine comes with the on board camera, so far its been quite good as the Garmin and camera are all mounted on 1 suction mount which I like as it is cleaner and tidier.

But eventually will want to upgrade to something better, in fact, m considering a 360-degree camera for front, back and sides. Drivers these days are really shit, plus, with insurance cost sky-rocketing and with 50% NCD, better be safe than sorry.

the camera came in handy for me too.

Just last week, I realised that my side mirror was folded outward when I return from my breakfast. After that, I did a check on my car, and found a dink on my front right. After I checked the video footage, to my horror, that fellow (the BMW X3 parked on my right) actually opened his door forcefully on purpose. He checked the dink on my ride, opened his door to measure the point of impact and gave my car a 2nd knock deliberately before closing his door.

With the footage, I made a police report for vandalism. Gave the police a copy of the video footage. I also went to CnC @ Pandan Loop. CnC will do a claim against his insurance, and the CnC legal dept will take up the necessary legal action against him if his insurance rejects the claim.

Will be giving him nightmare for the next few weeks dealing with the insurance and police. :)

I also installed the blackvue from the gb recently. One quick question, how do I know that video is on when in parking mode? I did a silly thing. Before starting the car, I actually tried to activate the video by waving my hands in front of it, expecting to see the lights come on. But it didn't leh. So how we know ar?

Nope. only have it installed on the front. his car was parked head-in while i did a reverse. so when he was opening his rear door, my front camera captured him in full view ... even the police officer commented that the image was very clear.

Just a quick question,

Does the Blackvue camera capture the speed that you are going? And does it record 24/7? Does it have the option of being switched off and on whenver you like?

yes, but you can choose not to display speed like me . it has parking mode so yes it record 24/7 with motion detection to save power and most likely you need the power magic pro to save power.. yes . just plug out the power cable like me :D

p.s. i not promoter for BV hor

Yes, displaying speed isn't a good idea, but it's easy to turn that option on and off right? Does the camera turn close to 180degrees? I'm interested in getting one now! New car coming in this weekend, have to be extra careful with it now.

can post the video clip here? i am very interested to get a black box system for my car before it arrives. My current ride has been a victim of multiple vandalism which includes damaging and cutting off my radio antenna.

Hi, I am a bit slow at what you are saying. Please could you upload the clip on the forum for us to see?

I'll upload the video after I've settled it with the police. Have not heard from the police yet. Will give the investigating officer a call next week. If it is not going to implicate the case, I'll post the video up next week.

still interested to see the video clip if available.. :)

I've not heard from the Investigating Officer yet. No time to follow up with him. Will do that next week when I get a breather from work.

I'll just post the video up here so that bros and sis in this forum can keep a look out for this fellow and not park your ride next to his.
