Sharp 4K footage and solid reliability when it works, but many call it overpriced versus rivals like Viofo, and complaints recur over audio static, weak night/rear image, and GPS dropouts.

I like the form factor of the BlackVue better, so based on this new review I will replace the U1000 with the DR900X Plus

I gave mine a good enema with the power supply shut power completely off for 24 hours the camera is now working a lot better

Still think these Blackvue cams are overpriced for what they are.

One thing I noticed is that the front camera tends to operate HOT? Even when parked overnight.

I just had this cam installed and my footage is clearer and my audio is crystal clear.

I can't even read some of the plates. This seems over priced.

With its high reliability, combined with excellent cloud and parking mode features, the BlackVue DR900X-2CH Plus is one of our favorite high-end dash cams of the year 2022.

Your night shots looks like your windshield needs a clean . Mines are much clearer .

i also have static on my recordings, sounds very similar to the one on this video, also started doing it a couple hours later when given the voice prompts , does not sound clear some static

I'm in my second summer (Australia) with my DR900X Plus 2CH now and so far no issues other than the double sided tape failing, but it stuck back on without an issue.

Not the best 4K out there.For the price it should be a lot better

r/Dashcam▲ recommend

The BlackvueDR900X 2ch plus is a few years old but still a dependable cam with decent video quality and important features such as low voltage shutdown.

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

I complained to Blackvue about the audio recordings on my 750x Plus compared to my 650GW, the explanation I got is very disappointing

r/MachE▼ don’t recommend

I have a hardwired BlackVue DR900X-2CH Plus that refuses to connect to GPS when the camera is anywhere near the dashboard.

r/Dashcam▲ recommend

I've had my camera for about 4 months now and live in the hot Florida sun. I've been impressed so far. I have the same camera, as well.

Motorverso▲ recommend

It's a pretty solid contender, even among the highest end of 4K dashcams, which is somewhat surprising given how small it is.

I've had this dashcam for over a year now and I agree everything you said about the bad camera quality

Don't waste your money on Blackvue.Blackvue does not support their app very long.

r/Dashcam▲ recommend

Yeah, it's user friendly. I have one set up in my car and it's very intuitive and quite useful to me in my driving. You can use the app to check front and rear views, and it's not much of a bother, saving a ton of windshield space front and back.

I had mine installed in early July 2022 and it has sat through 100 degree Fahrenheit weather with no issues.

ir not working in night time honestly useless ir rear camera

Overall I'm not satisfied with what this product offers for the high price point, as cheaper dashcams like viofo are known to have better image quality for reading license plates. I actually have a viofo 119v3 hooked up for back up mainly because my dr900x does a horrible job reading license plates.

r/Dashcam▲ recommend

I have a DR900X and it works well for me. Had it for well over a year and it's been fine.

r/Dashcam▲ recommend

Very happy with my DR900X-2CH. Also owned the DR900S-2CH that I never had an issue with.
