The BlackVue DR650GW-2CH is a full HD 1080p recording dashcam which is an eyes-closed choice for you if you have the budget and only want the best of the best. The DR650GW is a 2 channel dashcam, which means you can record the front and back, covering you on all sides. Both cameras are really easy to mount and fit very nicely on your windshield and rear window.

The two cameras join up with a thin but high quality cable that is easy to conceal and install, and once you’ve plugged the camera into your cigarette adapter or fuse box, you are good to go. Both cameras record to the same microSD card which goes in the front camera. A card up to 64 GB is supported.
Even though there is no screen, the BlackVue DR650-GW is incredibly easy to use, since it’s voice activated. You just have to speak instructions to it and it does it. You can also connect to the camera with WiFi from your Android or iOS phone(using a free app), and configure settings, view and save videos, and update the dashcam’s software.
WiFi has to be one of the best features of this camera. It makes it so much easier to use than other cameras, and you have the luxury of instantly transferring videos to your phone or tablet. From there, you can upload them to YouTube or other video sites right away.
The design of the DR650GW-2CH is very sleek and discreet. The full-black casing makes it very hard to see from the outside, so nobody will suspect you have a dashcam installed in your car.
If you plug the camera in to your fuse box, you can use it as a surveillance system when your car is parked. Whenever the camera detects motion, it will start recording.
GPS is built into the camera so it logs position and speed data along with the video. You can view this data when you connect your dashcam to your phone or computer. You can also plug a HDMI wire into the camera and your TV to watch videos in HD on a big screen.
This camera is a CCTV, too!
If you hardwire your dash cam to your car’s battery using a device such as Power Magic Pro, you can record even when the car is off, and you’ll never have to worry about coming back to a drained battery, either.
Bottom line
The BlackVue DR-650GW-2CH is a solid dashcam from the king of dashcam companies. It’s easy to use, easy to set up, and records beautiful video. If you have the budget, this is the camera for you.
