About: BlackVue DR970X-2CHIRPLUS-64 2-Channel/Dual Dashcam with 2.4 - 5GHz Wi-Fi & 4K UHD Front & Infrared Second Camera (64GB Micro-SD Card Included)

The front camera of DR970X-2CH IR Plus records the road ahead in 4K UHD, while the driver-facing IR (infrared) camera captures every detail of the interior, even in pitch black lighting conditions.

Seamless Pairing with the BlackVue App

Simply connect to your dashcam without leaving the BlackVue App. With Seamless Pairing, setting up your dashcam is a breeze. Just power the dashcam, then easily connect from the BlackVue app and follow the simple instructions. Whether you want to browse your dashcam’s files and settings or connect your dashcam to the Cloud, Seamless Pairing makes everything easy and intuitive.

Ultrawide Infrared Interior Camera

The Infrared Camera secures the interior of your vehicle. The inconspicuous infrared LEDs automatically activate based on the ambient luminosity.
The camera’s spectacular clarity even in pitch black lighting conditions will procure peace of mind to taxi and rideshare drivers.
With its ultrawide 178-degree view angle, the camera can capture both the driver-side and passenger-side windows at the same time in most vehicles.
Using the BlackVue App or Viewer, you can further customize the way it operates.

• 180° Image Rotation to accommodate your setup: install the camera the way you like. If the image comes out upside down, just activate this feature and it will fix the image orientation.
• Security LED ON/OFF (for stealth in Parking Mode).

Best compression and high bitrate

H.264 and H.265 Codec Support. The DR970X Plus Series features H.265, also called High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), the leading standard in 4K recording and broadcasting. H.265 ensures the best video quality. The more widely compatible H.264 is also supported.

Higher bitrate for uncompromising video quality. When using HEVC, the 4K front camera can record at a high bitrate of up to 60 megabits per second, which lets the camera deliver amazing artifact-free image quality in even the most complex fast-moving scenes.

Worried about large files over the Cloud or Wi-Fi? BlackVue’s Sub-Stream technology embeds Quick Play–under 5MB–versions of the videos in the original files. Quick Play files allow for instant buffer-free playback over the Cloud or a Wi-Fi connection. If needed, you can also play the original full resolution videos for maximum quality.

LTE Connectivity Module (optional)

Easily enable BlackVue Cloud: The CM100G LTE provides easy 4G LTE connectivity to enable BlackVue Cloud features. All you need is a valid Nano SIM card. The CM100G LTE is powered and connects via the USB port of your dashcam.

Unlock Mobile Hotspot Function: Turn your BlackVue into a mobile internet router for up to five devices concurrently. This means you and your passengers can now use your BlackVue’s internet on your laptop, portable game console, tablet or mobile. To connect to the BlackVue, simply open your devices’ Wi-Fi menu, select the BlackVue and enter the dashcam’s Wi-Fi password.

Note: when purchasing, make sure the CM100G LTE you choose is compatible with your mobile carrier’s network.

Easy Installation

BlackVue dashcams are very easy to install.
Attach the front unit to the windshield behind the rear view mirror with the provided double-sided tape.
This way, the dashcam is invisible to the driver’s eye. Simply plug the power cords into the 12V power socket of your vehicle and it will automatically start recording as you turn ignition on (no need to push any button).
Once set, you can forget about it, knowing it will reliably record your drive.

For Parking Mode support, follow the hardwiring instructions (hardwiring harness included). 

TIP: want to check the exact field of view of the cameras before sticking the mount to your windshield?
Power the dash cam using the 12V adapter cable and connect with the BlackVue App (iOS/Android). You can check the Live View from the camera via your phone to position the camera in the perfect spot. 

Sleek interface

Speaker: Your dash cam tells you when it turns on, shuts down or detects errors.

Accelerometer: Detects impacts to trigger Event recording. Enables Parking Mode* when stationary for 5 minutes.

Automatically tags video files: While driving, the built-in accelerometer (G-sensor) detects impacts and sudden changes in speed. While parked, your BlackVue also detects visual movements around your vehicles (in Motion + Impact detection mode).

Use the filters in the BlackVue App and Viewer: BlackVue tags all videos (Normal, Event, Parking Mode, etc.), so that you can filter them and quickly find the ones you need in the BlackVue Viewer (Windows, Mac OS, Web) or the BlackVue App (Android, iOS).

Free App and Viewer

Easily change your BlackVue configuration settings and browse your videos on your mobile or computer. With the BlackVue App, connect to your BlackVue to access files and check real-time Live View for easy setup of your dashcam. With the SD Card Viewer, connect your dashcam’s microSD card to your computer to view and backup footage in bulk, as well as export clips, remove sound, etc.

Your videos are safe

Event Files Overwrite Protection: dashcams record in a loop, overwriting older files when the memory is full. BlackVue can prevent Event files (triggered manually or by impacts) overwriting. Up to fifty (50) files can be protected this way. You can choose to allow new Event files to overwrite past Event files, thus keeping the latest fifty.

Adaptive Format-Free File Management: this BlackVue-developed file system improves recording stability and requires less microSD card formatting.

SD Card Failure Alert: your BlackVue detects as soon as the microSD card fails and warns you with a “Please check SD card” voice alert.
