Bought and had installed the Blackvue.
DR900S-2CH
Dual-Channel Cloud Dashcam featuring 4K UHD front recording, H.265, Dual-Band Wi-Fi.
The vision is great and if you have an installer that walks you through the basic steps of setting it up on your phone, youre laughing.
Importantly sits "hidden" inside my black leather interior cabin and hidden to the left of the middle. (right hand driver) In addition I dont see any "ugly" wires and it feels like its a part of the car as opposed to being an accessory.

That's great. Congrats. You'll love it. It's a great dashcam. Do you happen to have any photos of your install to share?

The Dashcam is sleek and elegant and to be honest I dont even notice it at all. The Blackvue is a small discrete cylinder which blends well with the C class interior. By blending in I mean its there but you dont notice its presence. Its present on the front passenger side next to the windscreen radar. Passengers in my car have never really noticed it to ask about it, thats how much it blends in. Mind you this is a hardwired install so hence it has a very small concise discrete presence.
My neighbor has literally a camera as his dashcam and it is obvious noticeable and looks out of place.
If you want any more details please ask, happy to help.

I'd still go with the BlackVue DR900S-2CH. It now has been updated with HDR Night Vision which improves images in both day and night. It's an incremental update, but this dashcam has been thoroughly dependable for me in recording during driving and parking mode.

Also, what external power method do most use ?? they have a Power Magic Pro direct wire, with multiple fuse options.
(guess I am looking for someone who has had these installed and nows the best direct power route to go)
Thanks in advance

If I am using the cloud service, does it matter which GB version ??

This is how I have my DR900S-2ch set up in my ML350. It was pretty easy since the main battery is located under the right rear passenger seat.
