Inside the cab hit 143 degrees today, I took the SD card out and it was too hot to hold, nearly burned my finger tip, however it had no over heating reported. I’m surprised it hasn’t had a problem yet, but thankful. I was having connection issues via the app, but got that resolved. So far so good.

Did you check the Notification on the app?

Also is your unit connected to WiFi all the time?

Here is the screenshot of Tier 2 Level Blackvue (S. Korea) support. Don't park in the sun???

Hard to avoid parking in the sun in AZ most times :)
I have a hotspot setup in the vehicle for the camera to connect to and it’s not reporting anything but motion at times via the cloud, but no notifications on overheating issues

Just to let others know, this issue has not been resolved by Blackvue. I have uploaded the video files per their request but no resolution as of yet.

3rd unit OVERHEAT warning

Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

Got my first “overheating” message, and had recently installed the Power Magic Pro and I’m certain it was related to it being powered while in parking mode sitting in the AZ sun. It’s only happened once, but keeping an eye on it.

Blackvue HELP is lame. They know they have a defective product but do nothing to resolve it.

I’ve been getting the overheating issue on a more regular basis now. So yesterday I decided to place temp sensors near the front unit and rear unit. Front temperature displayed 135°, rear was 161° (Pretty direct sunlight exposure). The unit kept notifying me of it shutting down due to overheating”.
I like the device other than this problem, but have yet to find a better replacement. Using a hotspot I like the ability to kind see what going on when away, but if this keeps going, it’s pointless.
