Cheaper option to get your Blackvue
Ever since hubby old in car dvvr had been down, he did not purchase it until reently.
He purchased the same old brand - Blackvue by Pittasoft.
Knowing the cons, due to it's heat issue, he did preferred this brand because of its high quality video footage.
Hubby had the old model, DR400, exchanged twice, but both still give a bad vignetting result. So he decided to drop one model down - DR380, with the advise from the seller.
With the help from his friend, he decided to strip the entire casing, leaving it bare totally. It works well until the day when washing car, someone had accidentally broke the chip board. (found with a thread attached)
Anyway, leaving it with no in car DVR on road can be risky. So hubby decided to purchased it again, but not locally.
Since he had the power cable and power magic pro installed previously, he can save on the installation charges.
Anyway, you still have to pay for the installation for the entire set, it is not expensive at all.
Easy, if you do not mind not having any local warrany, feel free go to Qoo10! This is the place you can get it a lot cheaper.
This is what hubby did.
- Purchase during sale timing.
- Use the Qoo10 coupon if you have.
- Use free shipping
All in all, hubby paid $299 with the neo grabber.
Response from seller is fast.
Order on Wednesday, (Thursday is the holiday for Korea), Friday packed and ship out.
Delivery by Fedex on Saturday morning!
Wow! Fast and efficient!
Without further waiting, hubby had all the things installed.
Confirmation:
Firmware and program are all in English.
Audio talk back from DR500 is also in English.
Checking of DR500 using wifi (range is very limited, works fine in the car) is fast and a lot easier. You can check the device lens is working well using this method.
Click the Live and you get the viewing from the DR500.
It is very simple and easy.
Should you worry for the heat issue, you can always take out the casing, so far it works for DR380 and DR400 (hubby's friend dvr).
All setting for the camera can be adjust using your phone too, so there's no need for you to bring back and forth the memory card.
So far... PASSED with a flying color!

Usage after a month
So far, after using for a month, everything is still fine. Having the holes on the casing literally works, at least no hot air been trapped in there. But do take note if you are parking under the hot sun, it is advisable for you to check the video using your hand phone.All setting for the camera can be adjust using your phone too, so there's no need for you to bring back and forth the memory card.
So far... PASSED with a flying color!
