More about DR970X-2CH PLUS II

4K Front & Full HD Rear

The latest Sony STARVIS 2 image sensor in the front camera, recording at 30 frames per second in approximately 8.4 megapixel resolution and Full HD Sony Starvis in the rear (please note the rear does not have Sony Starvis 2) recording at 30 frames per secon in approximately 2.1 megapixel.

1 Channel HDR support on the front camera

BlackVue HDR also reduces motion blur and improves detail, making license plates easier to read on moving vehicles.

Parking Mode - 2 Surveillance Modes

Motion Detection Mode: records a 1-minute buffered video whenever a motion is detected by the front or rear camera. Motion detection areas can be set manually in the app.

Time Lapse Mode: records constantly at 1 frame per second so each 1 minute video covers 30 minutes of real time. Recommended if you routinely park in busy areas.

Pre-impact recording: in both modes, the dash cam also records buffered Event clips in case of impact. That means 1-minute clips that start 10 seconds before the detected impact.

Please note the camera will need to be installed using the included hardwire cable to connect to your vehicles fuse box to provide a power source for parking recording.

Improved Compression and High Bitrate

DR Series II delivers 4K video with H.265 (HEVC) compression, ensuring superior quality and efficiency. It also supports H.264 for broader compatibility.

With a high bitrate of up to 60Mbps, the front camera captures fast-moving scenes with exceptional clarity and no compression artifacts (please note the Extreme image quality recording at 60Mbps front & 10 Mbps rear is only supported by H.265 (HEVC).

Concerned about large file sizes? BlackVue has you covered—each 4K file includes a lightweight Sub-Stream version (under 5MB) fast Wi-Fi access.

Other Features

Supports up to 1TB microSD
Tagged recordings: All recordings tagged with your GPS location, time and speed which can be visualized on Blackvues App’s map plus also Blackvue Web Viewer (PC/Mac).
Event recording: Detects and records driving impacts, parking impacts, sudden acceleration, hard braking, sharp turns, and overspeeding using the built-in G-Sensor and GPS.
Like every dash cam, DR970X Plus II constantly records in a loop. When the microSD card storage is full, older clips are automatically overwritten by newer footage. With its Event File Protection function, DR970X Plus II ensures that critical footage is not overwritten by normal driving clips.
Free Blackvue App: download footage (ultra fast 5GHz), adjust settings or show/transfer footage to Police at the scene of an accident. Provides instant video evidence when required.
2 ways to access your camera - Blackvue Mobile App, Blackvue Web Viewer (PC/MAC free download, using SD card)
Built-in Wi-Fi (2.4GHz & ultra fast 5GHz) allows you to view live video, change settings, playback and download videos to your mobile device (within a 5 metre range around the car).
Option to upgrade for 4G LTE CLOUD Connectivity – if you'd like to access your phone remotely and get live notifications you can either add an LTE module to your setup now or in the future or check out the 970X-2CH Plus LTE II model that has inbuilt LTE.
How big is it? Front camera - 11.8cm wide x 3.6cm high x 4.7cm deep.
Power: 3 options – via cigarette lighter, included hardwire kit, or a parking recording battery pack.

You can provide power to your dashcam by either the cigarette lighter, USB-C port or your car battery using the hardwire kit.

For parking mode to be enabled this requires either the hardwiring of the camera to your 12V accessory battery using the included hardwire kit or using a dashcam battery pack.

DriverCam offers a mobile dash cam installation service available in the Auckland region or outside of Auckland by special arrangement.
