BlackVue 12+

wouldn't recommend . App too expensive ?

Spending about £1000 on a twin camera and a battery pack . The camera does work , most the time I have no problem connecting . however it's very " power Hungary " when in parking mode . Live in the UK and we don't get that many hot days now the summer is here camera spends most of its time disconnected from the network this has nothing to do with the EE network this is because the camera is overheated in the car . Not much I could do about that unless I leave the car windows wide open during the day .
The camera is pretty useless during night time as it has no infrared so unless you live in a place where there is street lights it's a waste of time... finally I don't think but Pain £8 a month just for the app on its own is worth it .. especially now that everyone has had to change Sim cards to a different provider to as what it was a few months ago . on the brighter side of life I can confirm that the "
DR970X-2CH LTE (64 GB) UK Edition - 4G " does work perfectly well on the EE network . Much better than the Sim card which was originally provided with the camera and Vodafone which was a total nightmare .
Would I recommend this camera again . "Probably not " if I'm being honest .. the camera itself Is good , the thing that lets sit down is the LTE , THE CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET AND THE APP WHICH IS ALL PART OF THE PACKAGE ...

Improved but subscriptions fail

I actually have no problems with the app or device.
I do have a problem with the fact that something as simple as GPS tracking costs $8 a month. Seriously all these subs will be the failure of the company. Personally I am going to change because of this in the near future.
Deserves some extra stars. Seems to work a lot better than before.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the kind feedback !

Wow SO painful to use

Update July 2024: the latest firmware has caused the device to NO LONGER upload footage to cloud. This is a massive step backwards. Tech support have tried to suggest elaborate ways to reset the firmware which has not fixed the issue. They acknowledged a cloud issue in JUNE 2024 which caused the problem for users. APPALLING service for what should be great kit, let down by very poor software design.

Old review May 2022: I rely on this app to check occasional footage but it’s so clunky and unreliable I’m wasting a lot of time. There must be a smarter way to streamline the viewing of footage and importantly connect using BT to the BV’s own wifi. It tries, it fails, it suggested re-adding a camera, it still fails or it doesn’t find the camera etc. Whilst the kit is good the software lets it down totally to the point of wanting to simply throw it away. Come on Blackvue, user experience is what matters here too.

Hi, It sounds like you are having a fair amount of issues, I think it would be better if you contact UK tech support on 01555 709 729 and discuss with them the issues and lets get to the bottom of this.
