Jeep Wrangler Dash Cam & Rear Camera! BlackVue DR900X-2CH 4k Dashcam

[@okcomputer0101]

Thanks Brotha you helped me with 2018 Sahara and BlackVue 750 with Battery. Worked like a charm. Props to those folks on Jeepwrangler Forums for sending me your way! 🚙 👋

[@spartanjag2049]

Really appreciated you calling out the battery wire and accessory wire bundled with the interior aux switch loom! I was agonizing over whether to go through the firewall on the driver side... or the passenger side... or outside under the panel at the corner of the windshield... The interior loom was the no-brainer best option for me and made install a breeze. Thanks!

[@Casey250]

Its awesome hey!

[@straylineoutdoors5259]

Thank you for this video. I just removed my hard top to work on a few mods and glad I watched this before putting it back on since the BlackVue dashcam is one of the items I am adding and you did a great job showing how to install. Much easier with the top off! So many of your videos have helped me with decisions on what and how to install on the Eco Diesel. Keep up the great work! 1st time Jeep owner and learning lots.

[@adamcnessesq]

I have a similar 3 camera setup entirely for a witness in the event of an accident. But I’ve only used it for fun. Either way, it’s worth having.

[@JP-nisu_2]

I got my hands on a Thinkware F200 cam for roughly 2 years now. Plug in and forget about it. It records all I need. But it moves around if you want to hit a button on it and then you have to realign it with the hood instead of the sky. I should of got the top model from the start.

[@shawnskiba5874]

You need a Cascadia solar panel, that should take care of battery voltage concerns. Nice install.

[@canyonoverland5003]

I have one on my Tacoma - installed by Tom - for the dash cam and fridge for peace of mind.

[@mattbrew11]

When the sun is out, 2-3 seasons of the year in Canada that 60w panel might work well enough

[@mattbrew11]

I have this same setup in 70ish trucks in the fleet. Works great

[@garym9433]

Excellent information and independent review. Thanks for doing all the research and for sharing!

[@Casey250]

Thanks Gary

[@toddgibbs1321]

I put a thinkware Q800 in both vehicles for the parking mode. Having front and rear cams is a huge benefit. My wife was rear ended and you can read the plate and even the registration on the windshield when you pause the video.

[@michelletennant9164]

Great info. That price though wow.

[@Casey250]

Ya its a bit spendy for sure. Packed with features though.

[@Brpower83]

I'm glad I kept looking for other dash cam install videos and came across yours, the others were doing some pretty lazy (imo) wire routing to the fuse box (which wasn't even needed lol). Thankfully my Sahara came with the Aux switches.

[@apettit7]

Really good video thanks. When I put my soft top back on in the spring I'll get one installed

[@silentmajority5657]

Excellent Job, I've got a 2010 jeep wrangler that I will do this on. Thank you Sir.

[@zer0mike285]

Great setup... jeeps are well known for windshield cracks. What's your plan for when it does inevitably breaks and will need to get replaced?

[@Casey250]

Replace it. Lol

[@brandensoutdoorb-channel8084]

The spare tire blocks a lot of the rear view

[@AP-lh1bq]

I like the test thievery. Well done.

[@craigk965]

Remember to turn your back to the jeep while peeing on the trail

[@Casey250]

Lol

[@sylverK]

Wow. I watch your vids, but came across this one as I was researching dash cams ... great timing and video too! For the money, does it have image stabilization?

[@Casey250]

Not anything like the GoPro stabilization. Im taking it wheelin this weekend. Keep an eye out if you can spot any clips from this camera in an upcoming vlog

[@lucasgiannetti8748]

great cam, tks for the video

[@donaldmoore1252]

Hi Casey do you still use this same dash camera? Or have you gone to something new? Great videos keep'em coming!

[@Casey250]

Still using it! its awesome. I need to get another one for my Gladiator.

[@ljoffe]

Casey, what size sd card are you using? What is the largest capacity card? How large are the video files? Does it overwrite the files when it runs out of space? What are the costs for the cloud storage and how long do they store the files for? Looks like a very nice system but you left out too much information for a review.

[@Casey250]

Your right, but it all fairness I also didn't say it was a review. I am using a 64gb card, it uses up to a 256gb card. Its about 192mb / minute of recorded video on the highest quality setting. It overwrites files as needed unless you tell it to lock event tagged files.

[@negraminnesota4581]

hi can you please where can i buy that i would like to install for my jeep wrangler please

[@steammycar]

How do you make make it in to continuous recording can you make a tutorial?

[@medusajeep2130]

man an off-brand "actioncam" can do "most" of this for $60 but, like everything Casey does, its top shelf install and setup. Nice job

[@Casey250]

Thanks.

[@4477superman]

I’ve found that cheap cameras tend to melt after an hour in a hot car. I’ll spend more money for better quality

[@troymathis4755]

Are there any parameters put in place in case of theft of camera? Specifically, we run naked in the warmer months and someone might decide to try and steal the rear camera, especially if they just stole something else and want to cover their tracks. Does it store footage to cloud automatically in those instances?

[@GT_KREW]

How is the camera holding up also is the adhesive still holding strong ?

[@Casey250]

Front camera is great, rear camera I moved it up to the metal as I kept smacking it with gear.

[@ebo2421]

Awesome video! I’m a new Jeep owner. Been wanting one since I was a kid. Thanks for the post. For overnight monitoring/recording, do you recommend 64 G or more?

[@Casey250]

I have a 256gb card in mine for maximum retention

[@ebo2421]

@@Casey250 awesome! Thanks again!

[@billyofthefuture]

Confused about the power consumption stats @4:00. What's "milliamps per hour" mean?

[@MrXxiiblackopsiixx]

Love the video, only thing I see is you cant put your windshield down now without unplugging the camera. Why not mount to the rear view mirror somehow? Also, I think including some footage from the camera during normal wheeling trips would be awesome!

[@Casey250]

I can't say i've ever felt the itch to put down my front windshield haha.

[@MrXxiiblackopsiixx]

@@Casey250 pure freedom idk lol

[@Casey250]

Maybe one day when I wheel somewhere that is void of beanches, mud, snow, flying rocks, and other debree haha

[@MrXxiiblackopsiixx]

@@Casey250 around the block during the summer time? Can you guys drive on beaches in BC or on the island? I've never been to BC or the island. However after your's and Shawn's videos it's making me want to come up and explore

[@Casey250]

Not much beaches here to drive on and removing the doors is illegal here and id wager putting the windshield down as well

[@dc_813]

So... What does everyone do about mounting these in the hot Florida Sun? Instruction say don't park in direct sunlight lol How do you keep yours from overheating or falling off the windshield? I use a sun shade daily. I know if I put up the sun shade and leave this in my window all day, the sun will turn it to liquid..... What do you do?

[@Casey250]

Dunno. Mine was on my window all summer and has never fallen off even during our record heat wave that was hitting 40c to 45c.

[@rook972]

Good video ....but we need to see some more trails an awesome views from atop mountains!!!!!!

[@Casey250]

Heading out this weekend :)

[@gustafpeyron]

why do you blur the evo logo?

[@ClimbToWealth]

Casey, the wiring harness that comes with Dashcam, has Acc, Battery, ground. Which wires do I connect to the “always on wire” ?

[@Casey250]

Battery is always on, acc (accessory) is for vehicle accessory power.

[@EvergreenSpeedwayPhotographs]

if I use the hard install kit, cut off the fuse tap and connect that wire to the "always hot" wire in the acessory bundle under the dash ('20 jlu rubicon), that will allow me to enable park mode?

[@Casey250]

Theres two wires. Main power and accessory power. You need both powered on proper circuits to have parking mode

[@whiskey392]

Thanks for the detailed overview. I’m installing a 750 in my wife’s 2020 JLU Sahara. I can’t get the unit to power on with hardwire kit. To double check, I’m going BATT wire to the Red/White, and ACC to the Pink/Orange. And I’m used the bottom unused ground nut. Any ideas?

[@whiskey392]

Turns out the yellow BATT wire had a blown fuse... but now I’m wondering why. If it came that way, no problem. If it blew ... idk where to start. The fuse didn’t look burnt or anything inside the glass, just broken filament

[@Casey250]

Oh thats crazy. Glad you figured it out.

[@mikehoffman3690]

Great idea. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. 😎

[@zimbambadu]

Can you swap out the SD card on it easily when out and about?

[@Casey250]

Id have to pull it down to swap sd cards. Probably take 2 minutes

[@samwatts1911]

Audio???🐊😎

[@canyonoverland5003]

I'm pausing the video at :21 to comment. This is the exact model I have - the DR900X-2CH 4k. The big one looks forward and the small one looks back at the driver. I have an RTT mid-height in the bed of my Tacoma, so shooting out the rear window is useless. The smaller, second camera is the nighttime version which has extra infrared lights which I purchased afterwards. The primary purpose for me is to verify my version of events in the unlikely event I get into a motor vehicle accident. That is to say, I don't trust the other person to tell the truth about what happened. The secondary camera points to me in case the other party wants to sue, and I can verify I wasn't texting on my phone or otherwise distracted. Edit: Your back camera - I see you have it taped to a plastic trim panel. Unless it's taped to an ultra smooth surface like glass, you're going to find it dangling by the cord in a month or two. Due to the textured surface of the plastic and the off-gassing of the plastic, it's eventually going to come loose. It might stay more secure if you can find a way to zip tie it tight.

[@Casey250]

Thanks for the feedback. I was wondering how it would stick once it gets hot. I have some other 3m tape which has worked well on various surfaces that i'll try if its a problem. I gava it a good clean with alcohol first but I guess time will tell.

[@alpintourer]

I'm going to do a multi-day Overland trip. I'd love to capture all the video while the vehicle is moving and store it on an in car hard/flash drive. I may be where the is no cell service so uploading to the cloud would have to be on a, as available, basis. Then I could grab sections when I'm back home that I find interesting for a future Vlog. Thoughts?

[@Casey250]

Id fire a 256gb card in and download clips to your phone if something interesting occurs. A GoPro hero 8 or 9 is a better camera for capturing things you know are going to happen.

[@RustyOlive]

Ha! That was you I saw on Island Hwy! Lol

[@Casey250]

😎

[@kenhelms9045]

Hi Casey, new owner of a 21 Rubicon and come across your channel and hit the subscribe button. Very interested in this set up. What storage option did you choose and what would you recommend as I haven’t done much filming and not sure what the different sizes relate to 32-256 GB

[@carghai9235]

Keep one even if you don’t go off-road much. A person in a f-250 slashed my soft-top and tires.

[@steammycar]

I can only record 1 minute can you help with some tutorials

[@mcdonaldchad]

Despite the title, you didn't really say why? Did someone F with your jeep? heh

[@gelonweekes9757]

This video is so useless. Show us how you install the camera not tell us. Waste of time.

[@corey.morreale]

Awesome I am installing this exact camera. I have the front mounted and wired temporarily and am planning on mounting the rear camera exactly where you did. I also have the BlackBoxMyCar BI-750 battery system kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5uyhqOCotCrpKM - having the hardest time deciding where to mount the battery which will be wired directly to the battery. I have the SanDisk 256GB Ultra microSDXC Card.

[@arjunahawaii]

I’m supposed to think this is an honest review when you got the camera for free from the company?

[@Casey250]

Its a video about showing you something you can mod on your Jeep. If someone sends me some thing and I don't like it, then it goes in a pile and will never be seen in a video. If its interesting then here we are. Free or discount has no bearing on my perspective, it just means more things I might come across to show you guys.

[@brennawaters1506]

The abrasive motorboat contextually join because humor neatly jump out a slimy cherry. abortive, bright arm
