BlackVue DR970X-2CH 4K GPS WiFi Dash Cam with Built-in LTE (Front & Rear) - DR970X-2CH-LTE PLUS II

Meet the BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus Dash Cam

Technology continues to advance, meaning there are more distractions than ever when driving. So why not give your vehicle's security an upgrade? The BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus dash cam captures rear and front recordings in impressive 4K ultra HD quality. Whether you're driving along the interstate or parked at the grocery store, this compact camera guarantees that you and authorities can see crucial details, such as license plates and the make or model of the other vehicle involved. The BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus dash cam includes LTE remote connectivity, making this camera ideal for fleet vehicles or parents of young drivers. Just install the front and rear cameras and you'll be able to keep a watchful eye on the car 24/7.

Surveillance While On-the-Road and Parked

The BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus dash cam features a STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor, which enhances sensitivity in high-contrast areas or in low-light conditions. Even if the headlights are on, the image sensor processor keeps the recording clear, so smaller details are still seen with ease. The large aperture lens gathers more light to produce faster shutter speeds and reduce unwanted blur for clearer still frames. When your vehicle is parked and the ignition is off, the BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus dash cam automatically switches to Parking Mode, which includes three variations. These variations detect movements near your car, any impacts that occur and even continuously record for a time-lapse video. Anything captured can be transferred to your Cloud, ensuring you never lose access to key events or videos.

More Than A Typical Dash Cam

In addition to keeping an eye on your car, the BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus dash cam can function as a Wi-Fi router. This mobile hotspot gives up to five devices, like smartphones or laptops, internet access simultaneously. This way, you’ll have to worry about losing your way while driving through rural flatlands or mountainous terrain.

Features

• Sony STARVIS 2 Sensor
  All DR970X-PLUS front cameras now feature the new STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor, which greatly improves sensitivity in low-light and high-contrast areas.
• Fast (f/1.7 aperture) Lens
  The large aperture lens allows the camera to gather more light compared to the f/2.8 lens of the non-plus models, which in turn results in faster shutter speed, allowing for better still frames with minimized blur.
• Improved ISP Tuning
  BlackVue's own refinement to the image sensor processor, enhancing its ability to capture intricate details like license plates in low-light conditions, even when headlights cause reflections on vehicles.
• Double the Birate
  The new PLUS models also get a bitrate (depth of information) bump from 25 MB/s to 60 MB/s meaning twice the detail is recorded.
• 2x the Event Buffer
  The DR970X-PLUS models now feature a 10-second buffer, up from 5 seconds for previous models. Meaning auto event triggers record twice as much.
• HEVC/H.265 Codec
  Higher-efficiency video coding compression algorithm better preserves details and also allows for recording at a higher bitrate.
• New Viewing Angle
  • Front: Diagonal 146°, Horizontal 125°, Vertical 68°
  • Rear: Diagonal 131°, Horizontal 107°, Vertical 55°
• Enhanced 4K Quality
  As seen in the comparison footage, the DR970X-PLUS dash cam sets a new standard in recording quality with its 4K capabilities, significantly boosted by the advanced Sony STARVIS 2 sensor. This sensor plays a pivotal role in enhancing low-light sensitivity and expanding the dynamic range beyond the previous generation. Coupled with a faster f/1.7 aperture lens, it allows more light to enter, sharply capturing details and reducing blur. This results in remarkable clarity in recordings, particularly noticeable in night scenes and high-contrast settings. Additionally, the integration of the HEVC/H.265 codec means recordings are not only of higher quality but also capture every detail with increased bitrate from 25 to 60, ensuring vivid and crisp footage.
• Mobile Hotspot Functionality
  Your DR970X-2CH-LTE-PLUS has the capability of functioning as a Wi-Fi router for your vehicle, providing internet access for up to five devices simultaneously. With this feature, you and your passengers can conveniently use your BlackVue's internet to connect laptops, portable game consoles, tablets, or mobile devices, and enjoy uninterrupted browsing while on the go.
• GPS, Wi-Fi and Mobile Hotspot
  • GPS
    While reviewing the footage, you can track the location of your vehicle on a map, and the video can also display your speed as an overlay. If you prefer not to have the speed displayed, you can hide it through the settings.
  • Wi-Fi
    Thanks to its Wi-Fi capabilities, you can effortlessly link your BlackVue dashcam to your smartphone or tablet. Moreover, Wi-Fi connectivity allows the camera to connect to the BlackVue Cloud via any mobile or home Wi-Fi hotspot or router. This connection grants easy access to files and settings.
  • Seamless Pairing
    With Seamless Pairing, configuring your dashcam is effortless. Simply power on the device and connect it seamlessly through the BlackVue app. By following the straightforward instructions, you can access the dashcam's settings and files or connect to the Cloud. Seamless Pairing streamlines the process and simplifies navigation, whether you need to browse or connect.
• 3 Native Parking Surveillance Modes
  By using the included hardwiring kit or the optional B-130X battery pack, you can hardwire the DR970X-PLUS to your vehicle's fuse panel for Parking Surveillance Mode. When the ignition is turned off, the DR970X-PLUS will switch to Parking Mode automatically. There are three variations of Parking Mode available:
  • Motion Detection
    Triggered when the sensor detects movement (marked “P” in the file list).
  • Impact Detection
    Detected by the accelerometer/G-sensor (marked “E” in the file list)
  • Time Lapse Mode
    Records continuously at 1FPS. 1-minute Time lapse Parking Mode video = 30 minutes real time coverage. Impacts initiate a buffered Event video.
• Motion & Impact Detection
  The built-in accelerometer (G-sensor) in the DR970X-PLUS can detect abrupt changes in speed or impacts while driving. Similarly, when parked, it can detect any visible movements around your vehicle, and these incidents are automatically labeled and saved. If a cloud connection is established, you can receive alerts and access the clips from both your computer and mobile device.
• Cloud Features
  • Live View
    Monitor your car in real time.
  • Live Event Upload
    Impact and Motion detection events are uploaded straight to the Cloud.
  • Video Backup
    Move files from the dashcam to the Cloud!
  • Remote Video Playback
    Play videos stored in the Cloud or in your dashcam anytime on your smartphone.
  • Emergency Alarm
    Get a notification whenever something happens to your car.
