Exclamation GB: HD Dash Camera *expression of interest*

Hi members,

Trying to organise a group buy for these BlackVue - Full HD Dash Camera (DR550GW-2CH)

Price for the GB is $449 for the DR550GW excluding postage

They are great to record general driving, collisions based on impacts etc.. The feature that interests me most is the monitoring whilst in parking mode. Essentially it will start recording once it detects any sort of movement whilst the car is parked. An example where this would come in handy is the dreaded situation where you see someone rolling back onto bumpers when they are trying to park.. It's a really big cringe moment!! Amongst other things that happen..

The one's that i'm looking into a little more seriously is the Blackvue models. They have really innovative functions like a dual camera (front and back) and WiFi access to connect to the camera via your smartphone to view footage - this is a really convenient feature to quickly watch the footage without having to pull out the memory card and put it into a laptop.

For more information about the specific product click --> BlackVue - Full HD Dash Camera (DR550GW-2CH)

For more info about the group buy I'm also located on another forum, where the GB started.

So far

Awesome!!

Think about how much the insurance excess would cost you, and this really does pay for itself!

Would you have a confirmed date of order/purchase already?
Would love to jump in on group buy as well if it weren't for the car insurance/rego/finance all coming out this week plus the girlfriends birthday the following week so pockets aren't so deep at the moment

Not sure how this is a good deal. There are authorized Australian sellers on Ebay selling the AU version of this product for less than this and it's including shipping and a 16gb card.

Also there's a new model that's being released soon.

I've searched eBay and can't find any cheaper from AU sellers? Welcome to link us an example.

Any more details on the new model?

Try dream-seller.

I'm not sure of the exact details but I read somewhere that there is a small bump in resolution and expandable memory to support 64gb (current model is 32gb). More memory equals more recording time.

Dream-Seller is Korean based, therefore Australian Warranties would not apply:

Doesn;t seem to be selling the BlackVue's any more.

Watching the countless Russian dash cam videos online makes me think these would be fun - but alas (or should I say thankfully) weird shit never happens to me on the road - maybe I don't live in the right suburb. bro...
