Only works with 4G SIM Cards

This camera only works with 4G SIM cards. T-Mobile has 5G SIM cards which will not work with this camera. I followed the cloud connection steps in the BV App, which told me that my setup was complete. However, if the cloud icon does not turn blue in the BV app next to the camera name, then your camera is not connected to the cloud. My only option was to use the BlackVue Sim card and connect to the BlackVue cloud. The front camera is larger than I expected. Installation is pretty straightforward. I opted to install the BlackVue battery pack under the drivers seat. Search YouTube for installation guides for your specific vehicle. You may need to remove the vehicle camera shroud behind the rearview mirror in order to fish the wires behind the front headliner. The cameras work very well. I had to adjust the settings in order to obtain optimal performance. BBMC stands behind their products. Troubleshoot with them first if you have a problem. Warranty returns are pretty easy. Be sure to ask for a return label if shipping to Canada. You will have to pay for the return label which includes customs forms. This may have changed recently, so be sure to check with BBMC before you return anything.

Really good at times others kinda fuzzy image

Great cam but when reviewing some footage to get a license plate for whatever reason the image was almost fuzzy very light grey like contrast was off. It was pretty bright out maybe that’s why but for the price kinda expecting better.

Best Dash Cam with Cloud Features

Installation was a breeze. I also picked up the LTE module and battery, and everything works together seamlessly. Now, I can remotely view the live feed and receive instant notifications whenever an impact is detected.

Great

Transitioning from the Thinkware U1000 to the Blackvue, I have found the application and cloud features to be significantly more advanced. Blackvue’s capabilities surpass those of Thinkware, allowing for remote 4K video downloads even when the camera is in parking mode. The push notifications and video previews triggered by impact detection are particularly impressive. The video quality is commendable, with no apparent focus issues that have been reported with other models.

However, I encountered a problem with a SanDisk High Endurance 512GB card, which may have been due to its not being formatted to FAT32. This issue caused the camera to repeatedly disconnect and reconnect from the cloud. Replacing the card with a 256GB High Endurance model resolved the connectivity problems.

While the camera performs exceptionally well in most conditions, it does struggle in extremely dark situations. Additionally, I purchased a CPL Filter for the LTE model and made a minor modification by removing the rubber gasket from the inter-lens, which was too tight. I secured the lens with VHB tape, resulting in a seamless installation. This is a straightforward modification for anyone interested in adding a CPL filter.

I did pair the camera with BBMC Power cell 8+. More for the fact that it allows for additional expansion batteries. The only disadvantage is that the battery doesn’t communicate with Blackvue’s application to show battery percentage via cloud. Something I was not aware of until after purchasing and watching multiple reviews of Blaclvue’s b130x battery.
