We hope you’re hyped and excited this christmas! Our friends over at Pittasoft (South Korea) have announced they’ll be launching a new car / dash camera model. Welcoming the new addition to their Blackvue arsenal, the model titled DR500GW-HD is expected to be released December 2012. We’ll be shipping this item early to mid January 2013!. We’re offering an early bird special for the first 50 customers for only $390.00 which includes a massive 32GB memory card (normally 16GB)!! Follow link to make order -> Blackvue DR500GW-HD.
It’s been confirmed this model will not be replacing the Blackvue DR400G HD II, although its clear this new model will inherit the existing qualities of the Blackvue II with a new lens, black exterior trim and revamped cynlindrical construction. Lets just have a quick glimpse at the upcoming car camera:
This model is promised to be the latest technical innovation with some powerful features. A noticeable difference (in comparison to the Blackvue DR400G HD II) are the new air grills / venting holes on the top and bottom of the unit aimed to lower the board temperature and reduce over-heating.
Another difference is the removal of the AV (Audio / Video) port on the side. This has been replaced with a Wi-Fi connectivity switch. The benefit of this Wi-Fi (Wireless) feature is that it will enable users to stream feed / playback recorded videos from the unit to a wireless compatible device (for e.g. smart phone). Pittasoft have promised support for Apple iPhone / iPad, Android, Windows and other cross platforms.

From what we see, the Wi-Fi feature is a fantastic addition addressing the needs of cross-platform compatibility. Currently, The Blackvue’s Seasons 1 and 2 only supports playback via a Android device. And of course, being a cynlindrical blackbox with no screen prevented users from playing back or reviewing their videos, thus requiring a portable media player or computer that supported microSD cards.

Will the price change after the pre-order period has expired?
Their image quality and price have been good so far, the biggest question is will it overheat in Australian summers like their last two models.
We hope your all hyped?
