Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on BlackboxMyCar Coupons
What is BlackboxMyCar?
BlackboxMyCar is North America's #1 authorized dash cam and car camera supplier, and since 2012 we've dedicated ourselves to providing competitive prices on dash cams and accessories to equip drivers with the tools necessary to protect themselves and their vehicles on the road.
What is an IR Dash Cam & Why Do I Need One?
An IR dash cam is a dash cam with infrared lights that provide recording details under poorly-lit conditions, as well as total darkness. These are dual-channel dash cam setups with a regular front-facing unit and a secondary unit that comes with infrared lights. The secondary unit is typically mounted to face and record the interior of the vehicle, and thus is especially recommended for rideshare users, such as for Uber and Lyft, or for commercial use, such as fleet managers.
Which dash cam is best for me?
With many deciding factors and features like designs, parking mode, smartphone integration, 4K UHD video resolution, g-force, ADAS, Cloud-connectivity, choosing the right dash cam can be quite daunting. Let us help you - with our Dash Cam Comparison and Buying guides.
What is Parking Mode?
Parking mode recording is a feature of a dash cam that keeps your dash cam recording footage even when the vehicle is off. Typically found only in premium dash cams, parking mode provides around-the-clock protection and surveillance for the vehicle. Remember that an accident can happen at any time, and it’s always worse when the driver is away from the vehicle without any witnesses. The ability to capture footage while parked, to prevent hit-and-runs, door dings and vandalism, can prove to be very useful.
What is Wi-Fi & GPS for Dash Cams?
The GPS and wi-fi features in a dash cam can be highly useful, and sometimes even crucial in daily use. Traditionally, only higher end premium dash cams offered these features but there are now a variety of lower-end dash cams that have these included as well. We always recommend a dash cam with these features.
What is a Dash Cam & Why Do I Need One?
A dash cam stands for a dashboard camera that is mounted inside the vehicle, usually on the front windshield. A dash cam, depending on the model, can do many things such as record both when the vehicle is being driven and when it’s parked, record audio, provide a connection to a smartphone app so that video can be reviewed and saved on the spot, etc. Dash cams can come with 1-Channel (Front), 2-Channels (Front & Rear), 2-Channels (Front & Interior) or even as many as 3-channels to protect you and your vehicle.
What are the Basic Features of a Dash Cam?
The basic features of a dash cam, including its ease of use, can be important factors in the decision of purchasing a dash cam. The products we carry all do their basic jobs easily and conveniently without much work involved. This article breaks down the basic features of a dash cam, covering terms including auto-start, auto-recording, loop recording and more.
What is Video Resolution?
Almost all dash cams in the market today have Full HD 1080p resolution. With prices ranging from $150-$450, actual video quality varies greatly between these dash cams. So, what exactly is 1080p and how is it different between different dash cams?
What is Form Factor?
Form factor refers to the shape and size of a dash cam. This is an important aspect to consider as it can affect the driver’s field of view as well as the amount of attention drawn from people outside the vehicle. Dash cams are typically discrete in nature. Some are rectangular, while others are more circular. Some offer an LCD screen, while others do not and offer a phone app integration instead. Find out which one is right for you.
Should I use Adhesive or Suction Cup Mounts?
Dash cams are typically mounted on the front and rear windshields of the vehicle and come with either adhesive or suction cup mounts. While suction cup mounts may seem convenient and easy to use, they are not recommended since they can come off the windshield easily and are much more prone to vehicle vibration, which makes video footage shaky and blurry. Almost all dash cams use adhesive mounts for good reason, as they are much more durable and reliable in the vehicle.
What are SD Cards & Storage?
When buying a dash cam system for your vehicle, many people tend to forget one hugely important item: the microSD card. MicroSD card usage in a dash cam is so vital because some cards fail very quickly and you may lose crucial footage in case of an accident. In our experience, the best micro SD card for dash cams are high capacity cards that are Class 10 with MLC technology, which basically translate to fast download and upload cards with added durability.
What is Memory Partitioning?
Memory partitioning refers to the ability of a dash cam to separate video files based on the type of recording, so that only the same kind of files can overwrite each other. This is actually an extremely important feature, found only in premium dash cams, as it provides significantly more protection.
What is Night Vision?
This feature is a software/firmware-based processing effect on the video to boost exposure in lower exposed areas. In the sample video, you can see that the park that's on the right of the vehicle (left in the rear clips) appears a lot brighter when super night vision is turned on.
What is Impact Detection / Motion Detection / G-Sensor?
Impact and motion detection is one of the most crucial aspects of a dash cam, and typically found only in premium models. Impact detection refers to a video file being recorded when triggered by an internal, built-in G-sensor and motion detection refers to a video file being recorded when triggered by movement sensed by the video sensor. These two features ensure that your vehicle is being protected at all times, such as when a person or vehicle pass by and, more importantly, when there is damage to your vehicle.
What is the length of the rear cable for the DR900S-2CH/DR750S-2CH/DR590W-2CH?
The 2-Channel BlackVue dash cam systems come with a 6m (approx. 20 ft) rear camera connecting cable.
How do I turn off the LEDs on the dash cam?
You can turn on / off the dashcam's LEDs in the dashcam/firmware settings -> Wi-Fi & Other -> Other settings. The GPS and Wi-Fi LEDs on the dash cam can't be turned off. The rear camera security LED can be turned off only in the DR650S-2CH model.

Do I have to be connected to the BlackVue Wi-Fi every time that I want my dash cam to record?
Not at all! You only need to connect to the BlackVue wi-fi when you want to review your footage on the phone app. Otherwise, your dash cam will automatically start recording when you turn on your vehicle ignition, or just keep recording 24/7 if you have parking mode enabled as well.
How do I connect my smartphone to my BlackVue via WiFi?

To connect your smartphone to the BlackVue dashcam's Wi-Fi, stay near to the dashcam (the distance between the dashcam and the smartphone should not be more than 10m [32 feet]) Check if the Wi-Fi LED on the dash cam is ON or blinking.

What is the default password for my BlackVue dash cam?

Hardwiring Kit vs. Power Magic Pro - which is better?
It depends on how often you want to use parking mode recording. While both give your dash cam access to your car battery for power once the ignition is off, the BlackVue Power Magic Pro (PMP) actually offers you the added option to toggle parking mode on or off via the ON/OFF switch. This feature comes in handy if, say, you want to turn off Parking Mode recording when you’re parking in your home garage, but have it on when you’re parking anywhere else. The ON/OFF switch doesn’t impact your dash cam’s recording capabilities when the car is in drive - only when the ignition is off. We have an article if you would like to learn more : BlackVue X-Series: Battery Pack, Hardwiring Kit or PMP?

What does Manual Recording mean?
Manual recording is a feature of BlackVue dash cams (with built-in Proximity sensor) that creates a separate Event recording file (starting 5 seconds before it was triggered) when the sensor is touched, or a finger is waved within 20mm of the sensor. The manual recording file thumbnails are marked as "M". Manual recording can't be triggered if the dash cam is already recording another event at that moment.
Can I use my iPhone / Android phone as a mobile hotspot?
It is entirely possible to use your iPhone / Android phone as a mobile hotspot for your dash camera. Do remember that you need to leave your mobile hotspot by your dash cam within your car so that it will have continuous access to the Cloud, so we typically recommend doing this with a backup phone that has a separate SIM card.

We usually fulfill all orders after 1 business day, but may take up to 3 business days. All orders, unless via postage or otherwise stated in the shopping cart by the customer, are Signature-Required Delivery.
What is the length of a manual recording file?
The length of a manual recording file is 1 minute and can be 1, 2 or 3 minutes depending on the file length that you have set in dash cam/firmware settings. -> Recording settings -> Event and Parking mode recording duration.
What is your warranty coverage?
For warranty, we provide a return label only for dead-on-arrival units and if the customer reaches out to us within 7 days of the delivery date.
How do the customers rate BlackboxMyCar?
In general, it received an extremely high rating based on the BlackboxMyCar reviews.
How does the dash cam record in parking mode?
All BlackVue dash cams turn to Parking Mode automatically by default once the vehicle is stationary for a few minutes. If the car is parked and engine is turned off, the dash cam will keep recording only if it is hardwired to the car's battery using Power Magic Pro or connected to Power magic battery pack. The BlackVue keeps recording all the time in Parking Mode, but without writing to the microSD card. The video is recorded only if a motion or an impact is detected, creating a video file that starts 5 seconds before the triggering event (using the buffer memory) and saving that file to the memory card. If you want the dash cam to be recording during Parking mode all the time, just like in Normal mode (Driving mode), you can disable the "Auto switching to Parking mode" in dash cam/firmware settings -> Basic settings -> Recording settings.
