12) Can I used other third party memory card?
We recommend using BlackVue microSD cards for guaranteed compatibility and optimal performance. Learn more from the SD card section above.
13) Do I need to perform maintenance to the memory card?
A memory card gets worn out when it goes through many read-write cycles which may cause errors. Those errors unaddressed may seriously damage the memory card hence shorten the life cycle.
Compared to the fairly sedentary lives led by SD memory cards in digital cameras, smart phones and tablets, those used in vehicle dashboard cameras are exposed to a number of stresses. These include large and rapid variations in temperature and humidity, sudden interruptions, instability and ‘spikes’ in the power supply and constant mechanical vibration, any of which can lead to faults that can result in data loss or corruption.
As a result, manufacturer recommends to format the memory card periodically, at least once every month to maintain the stability for the recording. Always use the memory card recommended by us to avoid any incompatibility issues. Memory card is a consumable item, it may behaves abnormally and causes errors, hence please check the dashcam's operation according to the user's manual recommendation.

14) How do I connect the BlackVue to the smartphone?
The BlackVue WiFi or Cloud series cameras have built-in WiFi which allows them to connect to a smart phone device or tablet device via the BlackVue App. This can be downloaded free from the Apple or Android app store. When connecting your camera to your phone/tablet device, please make sure that WiFi has been enabled on the camera and the phone. You then go into settings and find the signal of the camera i.e 'DR650GW-?????'.

SD CARD
1) Which SD card is compatible with BlackVue?
a) We recommend using our microSD cards for guaranteed compatibility and optimal performance.
b) The reason is that dashcams put microSD cards under higher stress than most electronic products such as action cameras or DSLRs due to their constant loop recording. We test our cards extensively before selecting them for inclusion in our products, to make sure that their performance is good and degrades as little as possible over time. Anyway, memory card is a consumable item when it is used in dashcam hence it will fail eventually and requires a new replacement.
c) Using other third party microSD cards can affect dashcams’ performance and in some cases, force the dashcam to reboot or restart randomly during recording. Although the basic requirement of the microSD cards for BlackVue dashcams is Class 10 or U1 and that the SD card should be formatted as FAT32 [Windows] or MS-DOS (FAT) [Mac OS], we cannot guarantee the perfect performance of cards from other manufacturers, as even cards with same specifications may vary from batch to batch.

NOTE:
- Make sure that you set the time zone correctly using the BlackVue App or BlackVue Viewer for example, Asia > Singapore or +8 GMT.
- BlackVue systems use a RTC (Real Time Clock) internal battery to maintain an accurate time & date. If there is an issue with system or the RTC battery has come to the end of its life, the time and date may go out of sync. Please contact us for warranty claim or repair service.
8) Unit prompts "Error 1 GPS"
This error is normally due to wrong connection of rear camera jack to the GPS socket of the front camera. Power off and reinsert the rear camera jack to the correct socket.
9) What is the correct camera lens adjustment?
Adjust the angle of the lens by rotating the body of the front camera. We recommend pointing the lens slightly downwards (≈10° below horizontal), so as to record video with a 6:4 road to background ratio.
10) How to share the video files using BlackVue App?
BlackVue dashcams record with the best image quality but sharing it via WhatsApp will degrade the quality due to compression performed.
Please take note that WhatsApp on Android OS is unable to compress the BlackVue video files before sending out but no problem for iOS. If you are using Android smartphones, please consider sharing the files while maintaining the original video quality (no compression) by using apps such as WeChat, Telegram or upload the files to Google Drive or One Drive and share the download link with others instead.
