About: BlackVue DR970X-BOX-2CHPLUS-64 2-Channel/Dual Dashcam with 2.4 - 5GHz Wi-Fi & 4K UHD Front & 1080P FHD Rear (Hide Away Locked Box & 64GB Micro-SD Card Included)

Designed for stealth

Separate recording unit to store in a safe place: Unlike conventional dash cams where the microSD card is located in the front camera, the "Box" recording unit can be installed in a secure and/or hidden location of the vehicle, such as the glove compartment, under a seat or anywhere else out of sight.

Smaller front camera: The front camera is 35% shorter and more compact than a regular front camera. This minimizes the likelihood of being spotted by a potential robber.

This means in the event of a break-in, a thief would have a harder time either spotting the cameras or finding the Box unit that contains the videos.

Naturally heat-resistant

Designed to minimize overheating: Store the box unit in a cool location. With standard dash cams, the main processor is located in the front camera, typically exposed to the sun. In the DR970X Box Series dash cams, the processor is located in the box unit, which can be installed in a cooler location of your vehicle.

Less stress on the microSD card: By keeping the box unit in a cool location, you can also minimize the stress on the microSD card, potentially increasing its lifespan.

Security-enhanced

The DR970X Box-2CH Plus is designed from the ground up to prevent tampering.
Main unit: cover with lock and key to prevent access to the microSD card and the cable connectors.

Cameras: covers with hex screw to prevent the unplugging of cables and lock the camera angle in the mount.

Triple protection

• Locks the dashcam’s angle via a hex screw to prevent rotation.
• Blocks the access to the microSD card slot.
• Protects against the unplugging of the power, video, and USB cables.

Seamless Pairing

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.

Best compression and high bitrate

H.264 and H.265 Codec Support: The DR970X Box 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.

Sleek interface

• Speaker (in the front camera): Your dash cam tells you when it turns on, shuts down or detects errors.
• Accelerometer (in the front camera): Detects impacts to trigger Event recording. Enables Parking Mode* when stationary for 5 minutes.
• Automatically tags video files: While driving, the 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.
