    I have a blackvue. Mine's a 650 model, the newer 750 is supposed to be far superior for night time but mine doesn't do too bad. I got this one just under 3 years ago and so far it has stood the test of time. It has ran 24/7 for most of that time.

    WIFI, check.
    Good picture, check.
    Loop, Check. Supports a 128 gig card which records close to 40 hours at the highest quality setting.
    G-sensor, check.
    Parking mode, check.
    It has never shut down due to temp.
    No, you can't rotate it sideways to point out the window unless you designed your own custom mount.

    As far as the mount goes I don't use the proper one, because of that my video is a touch shaky plus I lose some quality for some reason when I put it on youtube but here's a couple samples.

    I was looking at the new 900 as well. I think narrowed it down to those.

    Did you get the 2 channel? I was thinking about mounting the 2nd camera to shoot into one of the side mirrors. Any thoughts?

    I just have one channel.

    If you wanted to get the sides check out this thread.

    If you can justify the cost of the 900 it would be nice.

    Thanks for the link.

    I’m really trying to justify it. I keep going back and forth between it and the 750.
