I have a FineVu CR500HD myself. Hardwired it so it's on 24/7.

The newer version 0805 is on sale for $69.99 USD at gearbest with coupon code: GB0805

I think the sale is on for another day or two.

I have a DOD Tech LS430W

This is the link to the LS460, the replacement (it appears that Best Buy no longer sells the LS460, but somehow the LS430W made it back on their website): http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/...4192757a09en02

Here's a link to a night video sample:

Its pricy, but its the first camera that I've owned that has lasted more than a year. I've been quite happy with it. All the sub-$100 cameras that I have had either overheat, eat SD cards or just simply crap out and stop recording.

ilaw you are my hero! Bravo reporting his ass!

Yeah i almost want to buy from staples or best buy just cause it's easier to return if something happens compared to online.

Really need to pick one up, especially in Woodbride where there is a crash on Weston Rd. everyday..-__-

I hate drunk drivers. The lack of respect they have for others by endangering lives is unforgivable. I hope they all get caught.

Anyways, back to the dash cam, Best Buy arguably has the best return exchange policy. If it helps influence your decision at all, another reason why I like DOD Tech is because they have an office in Markham. I can go there for any warranty claims. Most other dash cam manufacturers have support somewhere in India or China, and they are pretty useless.

Good luck.

I had the mini 0806 and it worked fine for about 1 month and then the connection between the mount and camera worsened to the point it would constantly go on and off. Nothing I did could remedy it so I ultimately threw it out

It's cheap but you get what you pay for.

I have since gotten a blackvue and have been extremely happy with it.
www.blackboxmycar.com is where I got mine from

DimSumHero · 05-19-2015, 07:58 PM

I'm using the Genius 650 and it works well very very clear picture.

D_Thissen · 05-28-2015, 04:35 PM

What about this one?

Same here but mine came out of box not working properly. I sent it back for a BlackVue.

I bought a G1W-C from foxoffer and it's a great camera, it took about 2-3 weeks to arrive from China though..

I got the blackvue DR650-GW-2ch and it's pricey..but awesome. It has a front and rear camera and the software is pretty decent. The camera quality is amazing though. The rear camera is great just in case if someone hits you from behind.

After numerous incidents that could've paid for a blackvue I am finally gonna get a dash cam. There are two people in here that are against blackvue but I've heard nothing but good about them. I had my eye on the DR400GW-HD for a while but that's outdated so currently trying to get the DR500GW-HD. Any reason to go another route? Because I pretty much am set on this one, especially with the Power Magic, that's the big selling point for me.

drewbot · 06-01-2015, 06:41 PM

@uEih the power magic is not specific to Blackvue. Other manufacturers produce the same product and you can also use the power magic on non-Blackvue dashcams

just bought this one, coming in from China, read reviews, seems like a good camera for the price.
