Blackvue DR590X for my EQS-good move?

[PrivateHireGuy]

Hey all, after allthe debacle with my in built dash cam, I’ve decided to go for a standalone front facing cam.

The folks over at Command have recommended Blackvue and this is the model I’m currently looking at and would welcome your thoughts, experiences and opinions.

I have the 750 2 chanel Blackvue and can't fault it.

The thing I can’t quite clarify with some of these BV cams, is whether I can tether them to my iPhone’s Hotspot for WiFi while on the move (I have unlimited data)?

I have the two channel BlackVue and also can't fault it.

If you have a cloud enabled BV cam (most are now I think) you can hook it up to a wi-fi connection so it can upload data to the cloud. Mine is connected to my home wifi, so it uploads when I get home. I don't see any reason why you couldn't tether it to your phone for the same purpose. They also transmit their own wi-fi SSID so you can connect to them with your phone directly to view stored video.

I can't comment on the Performance of the BV, as I have never owned one, but if possible I would go for one including a Rear View Cam!

+1 for this.

My last 'incident' would have looked like my fault without the rear cam.

+2 for this.
BTW if you co to the Blackvue Official Outlet, you can get the 2 channel version of the 590X for the same price as the 1 channel in the Amazon link you posted.
It's 'refurbished' (which generally means its ex demo). I've had 2 from this source and they've been indistinguishable from new.

I can view camera footage and live view on my phone or upload stuff to the cloud.

The 590X doesn't show GPS location / speed. Consider the 770X !

I have Blackvue cameras in most of my cars and they’ve proven to be very good. It’s definitely worth getting a Wi-Fi enabled model.
