[WAREHOUSE DEAL] BlackSys CH-200 2-CH WiFi Dash Cam

Have installed half dozen or so dash cams in all my and my kids cars, trucks and parents vehicles. Have had only minor issues which were quickly addressed by BlackboxMyCar. I've never felt abandoned by their support team. Made sure I was completely satisfied. I'd buy my next cam there again.

I did some research and watched a bunch of videos. None of the options at Blackboxmycar were 100% perfect. I chose the CH-200 because I wanted 2-channel and it offers the best price and supposed feature (I absolutely do not want my videos on some cloud so I’m not paying for that). I installed it myself in 2017 Honda Pilot. Wife was a big a help in routing the rear camera through the rear tailgate. Otherwise, I really do like the mount for the front is detachable, so you can slide out the unit if you are using it in a rental car.

Like anything, there are trade-offs. I’m using firmware 3.1.9. In actual use, the picture quality is a little grainy and you aren’t getting plates off of a car unless it’s right in front (during the day), right behind you, or it’s not moving. At night, reading license plates from the front camera is impossible due to glare from headlights unless you’re close enough your headlights are above or below the plate. If you pay attention, all of the dash cams have this problem and it’s masked by blackbox only posting videos taken with the headlight not actually shinning on the rear plates (because the vehicles lights have a really low cut-off), or the plates are white on black where as US plates are highly reflective.

The ADAS system is kind of useless except for the Forward Motion. Lane Departure Warning tells you AFTER you’re already in the next lane (which means it’s too late) and the Forward Collision is not accurate and even on the lowest sensitivity, it triggers a LOT of false positives.

The phone app works reliably., you just have to tell your phone not to switch off of low power wifi in the phone settings. Unfortunately, not all the settings are available through your phone and you have to use a lap top to get to things like Night Vision (which I don’t think actually does anything based on visual comparisons).

Parking mode is problematic. The motion detection is super sensitive and despite being able to set the ...

I decided to purchase the blacksys ch-200 after reviewing other cameras.The install process was easy with the included kit.I like the app so you can view it in real time on your phone.I will be ordering another one for my other vehicle
