BlackVue DR550GW-2CH

I broke down finally and did this yesterday. I found the BlackVue DR550GW-2CH on Amazon for $429.99 (MSRP $499.99) and I jumped on it. Waiting on the Power Magic Pro to show up so I can get the Parking mode configured, it should be here tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to get this installed in the car this weekend depending on if the weather cooperates.

I felt this was a good investment since I park in a busy part of town for work and I plan on taking several road trips in the future.

Striking one thing off my enhancement bucket list!

I was waiting for this to finally make it to sale considering Pittasoft has had it overseas on the market for some time now. Please update with your thoughts on how it performs if you would. Very interested in hearing more about how it works.

Looks like it's 399.99 now with free shipping.

In for pics of install, I've been wondering about installing a dashcam for a while now and curious how it looks in the end.

This is the one I purchased.

Amazon.com: BlackVue Wi-Fi 2 Channel DR550GW-2CH 32GB, Car Black Box/Car DVR Recorder, Built-in Wi-Fi, Full HD(1080p@30fps): Car Electronics Amazon.com: BlackVue Wi-Fi 2 Channel DR550GW-2CH 32GB, Car Black Box/Car DVR Recorder, Built-in Wi-Fi, Full HD(1080p@30fps): Car Electronics

They didn't have it with the free shipping with the Power Magic Pro so I had to get that separate. Oh well.

I'm looking to pick one up soon aswell, I have the DR400G season 2... Price is a little steep, but for front and back camera i think it's a nice investment.
