BlackVue DR750S-2CH Car DVR Overview

The BlackVue DR750S-2CH DVR is a dual-camera model from a well-known Korean brand with great features. BlackVue is a leader in its segment in South Korea, and has also worked very well in the international arena. They are often called the most high-tech car recorders on the market in the world. Since all production facilities are located in Korea, BlackVue products are guaranteed high quality and reliability.

Design and management features

The design of the model is quite concise-the DVR is made in a small plastic matte case of a cylindrical shape. It is noteworthy that it was BlackVue experts who were the first in the world to create such a form factor, which became very popular. Indeed, this is the most convenient form for car recorders without a screen, it allows you to make the case as compact and inconspicuous from the street.

A button is provided on the case, by pressing it you can turn Wi-Fi on/off, format the memory card or reset the Wi-Fi password. Next to it there is a connector for connecting an additional camera, a microSD slot and a port for connecting power. The peculiarity of this model is that you can remove the card from the recorder only after the power cord is disconnected. This was done on purpose, so as not to lose important records when the driver in an emergency wants to immediately get a card, while the device still records.

Additionally, there is a special non-contact button, to turn on/off the microphone, to activate it, you need to hold your palm in a few centimeters on the left side of the device. And on the front side is the lens, and under it is a special indicator of active video recording. Above and below there are two rows of square holes that provide passive cooling of the device.

The rear camera is compact in size, the body is made of matte plastic. If the camera is turned back, and removes everything that happens behind the car, then the driver will see a diode that is on if the camera is shooting. This is very convenient, since there is no need to turn around, you can monitor whether the rear camera is active through the rear view mirror. The light of the signal diode lamp is very clearly visible in it.

Installation Features

The cylindrical case is attached to the glass using 3M tape, for this there is a special flat platform at the top of the device. Please note that you will not be able to deploy the DVR to the side, however, you can adjust the vertical position of the case. You can also rotate it 180 degrees to be able to shoot what is happening in the car.

The rear camera is mounted in a similar way, it can be used both as a parking camera and as an additional salon camera.

The recorder is powered from the vehicle’s on-board network, to which the device is connected through the cigarette lighter socket using a special adapter.

Setup and mobile app

As we have already said, the BlackVue DR750S-2CH does not have a screen, so you can control its settings and operation using a proprietary mobile application or connecting the device to a computer.

The setup process itself is quite simple. In total, about a dozen different points of parameter adjustment are available. Therefore, you can work easily and quickly. There are no traditional for most Chinese devices, but few people need the necessary settings for color effects, white balance, etc. All the basic picture quality settings are carried out automatically, taking into account the shooting conditions.

Please note that the manufacturer in this model has increased security. Now each device is assigned its own unique Wi-Fi password (previously everyone had a universal password-"blackvue").It is easy to find the password, it was indicated on the sticker, which is glued directly on the case next to the data for entering the "cloud".

Shooting Quality

The manufacturer does not indicate the exact model of the processor used, but reports that a powerful modern processor is installed in the recorder. And here no one is cunning, all processes are performed quite quickly. This applies to turning on, rebooting, installing updates and much more. It only takes about 15 seconds to turn on Wi-Fi.

The picture quality is very good. This is also due to the fact that this model uses an advanced Sony STARVIS matrix, which replaced the previously used Sony Exmor matrix. Thanks to this, the recorder is now able to provide higher quality shooting at dusk and night time, and also has an improved dynamic range. The picture is very clear and detailed. The device provides a perfectly readable picture even in low light conditions and even in its complete absence.

It is also worth saying that both cameras, both primary and secondary, in this model shoot with high resolution Full HD.

The front camera shoots at an increased frequency of 60 fps. As a result, the image is smoother and clearer. Due to the higher frame density, it is easier to consider the license plate number of cars that drive at high speed. Consequently, the chances of obtaining the necessary information increase if you have to look for the culprits of the accident.

This DVR has another noteworthy feature, which concerns the use of the protection mode of video files recorded by the G-sensor signal. If earlier devices of this brand had a limit-no more than 50 protected files could be stored in memory, and if this value was exceeded, cyclic rewriting was enabled, and new ones were written over the oldest. Now the user can decide for himself whether he needs a cyclical recording in such situations. Now, in the settings, the user can independently choose whether he needs this cyclic saving.

The presence of a supercapacitor

This DVR is equipped with a supercapacitor instead of a lithium battery. This ensures that the registrar easily transfers frost to -20 degrees and even more. This is quite practical, since registrars with two cameras are rarely removed from the mount, most often they are constantly in the cabin. And in severe frost, models with a standard lithium battery can begin to experience problems after one night in the car. Sometimes they do not turn on until the interior warms up. In addition, all such power sources under extreme temperatures experience heavy loads, which leads to their rapid failure. In general, this device is suitable for operation in a very wide temperature range from -20 to +70 degrees, that is, it is not afraid of either cold or heat.

However, here we must take into account one small feature. The supercapacitor allows you to complete video recording and save important information in case of a sudden power outage. But for the recorder to work autonomously outside the cabin, we are not talking here.

Big "cloud" functionality

BlackVue recorders can work with constant access to the Internet, as well as perform a number of security functions. And the BlackVue DR750S-2CH is no exception. However, for the full use of these features, you must additionally purchase a set of BlackVue Over The Cloud. It includes a 4G modem, a system that prevents the discharge of a car battery, as well as a cigarette lighter splitter.

Among the most important features of the BlackVue branded cloud service are the following:

• Video monitoring-this function is also sometimes called video broadcasting. The owner of the car can monitor what is happening in her salon from anywhere in the world. This is a very convenient and useful feature. You can monitor how the car is used if you have entrusted it to another person, or monitor its condition when you are leaving on a business trip for a long time, leaving the car in the garage.
• Ability to upload captured videos to the cloud. The company provides each user with up to 5 GB of disk space. This function will allow you to create backup copies of video clips on which accidents and other very important points are captured. All you need to do is upload the desired video to the cloud, and it will be reliably protected and saved, even if the flash drive with the recording is suddenly video can always be restored in seconds.
• Two-way voice communication system. It allows you to remotely talk with those who are in the car. For example, you went home and forgot something, then you can ask a friend who stayed in the cabin to bring the thing you need. Thus, you can even “call” a thief who climbed into a car. This is a great way to frighten off a criminal who does not expect a trick and thinks that he went unnoticed.
• GPS monitoring of vehicle movement. When connecting to the Internet, the registrar allows you to track the location of the car, while the entire route will be displayed on a Google map. This is a very useful feature that increases the level of protection in case of theft, without the need to install additional tracking equipment.
• Alerts on your mobile phone. This is a very important function, messages come in a variety of situations: if the accelerometer (G-sensor) has worked, the motion sensor has worked, the car has exceeded speed (this parameter is fixed via GPS, the user can set a threshold value in the device settings); when shooting mode is activated; when parking mode is activated. Having received such a notification, the owner can immediately find out that something has happened to his car and respond in a timely manner.

Based on the foregoing, we can safely say that the BlackVue DR750S-2CH is a high-tech multifunctional car DVR. It guarantees a very high quality of shooting and has wide additional protective capabilities.
