I initially use PowerMagic but gave up two weeks later as it will cut the power 5hr later.

I was recommend to use Cellink B as it can last 17hr of recording on my DR650GW.

So far so good.

As for T-Power, the charging time and usage time may not be that good.

Anyone experience total full screen pinkish green at the rear camera after DR650GW reboot a few times?

I RMA 2 set as first set lost focusing and the second set keep having rear camera full pinkish green.

My third set also the same. Something gotta do with the cable.

 

Where to get it? It is external battery or tapping from draining car battery?

Take out microsd card, format it, download firmware at blackvue.com (a new one was just released today), unzip to microsd card with Blackvue as the root directory. Put the card back into the cam and start. It will update and takes about 2 min.

I am afraid I might screw up the updating of firmware and cause my DVR not to function normally. I can take a new SD card instead right so that in case of any problem,I can insert back the old SD card with the old firmware?

Yes, can do that. Firmware is updated directly to the cam not left on the card. Use a blank microsd card to copy over the new firmware. Take out the card in cam, put in the new one, update, remove card and put back the old card.

Hi, it is an extrenal battery that charge for 1 hr and can be use for 17hrs. It is mean for supply power for in-dash camera. It is usually sell with Blackvue product.

It will not drain much of ur battery as it only charge when your car is running,

Once you off your car engine, the battery will take over to run the two camera.

 

I am driving a Vios with 3 amp, GPS module, DVBT2 module, 1 2 Din HU, 1 TPMS and still can charge the Cellink B battery although the it is quite high ampere rate.

You can get it from any WowGadget distributor.

I would recommend you to install at Xtremez at Ubi Industrial Park.

Hi.. if I'm not wrong.. dr750 comes with built-in low voltage cut-off... no power magic pro required... You can still tap to power bank (like cellink b or t-power plus).

 

I'm myself looking at dr650GW... which require PMP..

 

Need to check blackvue Singapore office if they already carrying it..

 

cheers

I was checking in with an AD for Blackvue on DR530 2CH earlier, the total cost including instalation, PMP comes up to about S$550.

 

I checked on Qoo and I thought its going to be much cheaper but I did a few checks, most of the cost comes up to almost S$500 w/o instalation so I am not sure if its really worth it to buy from Qoo considering warranty etc.

Very good price. I bought that model early this year for about $60 more with PMP.

I checked with Motec and they are willing to install 2CH for $50

Initially I was thinking to buy from Qxx as well. But after much consideration, actually buying locally still ok although price on Qxx still cheaper (but by not much). $500, sometimes if you are unlucky, you will still be tax for GST. The inconvenience to claim warranty (looking at the messages in Qxx makes me worry) and no installation. Unless you are good at DIY [:)]

 

Anyway, it is my personal view [:)]

True. My younger bro paid that price for installation at Soon Lee Audio.

 

I paid $50 to install the 550GW onto my bike. My car has the iTronics only.
