BlackVue is a global leader and innovator in the field of in-car video technology and has always put image quality at the forefront of their product development.
The DR970X-2CH LTE PLUS is BlackVue’s range-topping dual camera model, engineered for the user who demands the finest video quality day and night. Featuring a 4K UHD front camera with 8-megapixel CMOS sensor and Full HD 1080p rear camera with SONY STARVIS CMOS sensor for superb clarity.
The 4K Ultra High Definition resolution contains exactly four times as many pixels as Full HD, 3840 pixels × 2160 lines to be exact, equivalent to 8.3 million pixels.
This can mean the difference between a pixelated blur and a readable licence plate, especially at speed or in low light conditions. To take even greater advantage of the extra resolution, the DR970X-2CH LTE PLUS includes an ultra-wide 162° lens on its front camera for incredible clarity and detail from edge-to-edge. The DR970X-2CH LTE PLUS performs exceptionally well at night and in dark environments, while maintaining a low level of noise.
During daylight, and thanks to a high shutter speed, the DR970X’s ability to freeze the action is invaluable, capturing crucial details even in adjacent lanes at the edges of the screen.

INTELLIGENT
PARKING MODE
Dash cams are designed to record your drive, but did you Dash cams are designed to record your drive, but did you know that the BlackVue DR970X-2CH LTE PLUS can also monitor your vehicle when you’re not around?
BlackVue’s unique Intelligent Parking Mode is ideal if you worry about hit-and-runs, theft or vandalism while your vehicle is parked and left unattended.
In-built power management circuitry will ensure that your camera will never deplete your vehicle’s battery when operating overnight, switching-off should the car’s battery level drop below a pre-set level. For extended recording times simply add a BlackVue B-130X battery
The DR970X-2CH LTE PLUS supports two Parking Mode options, Motion and Impact Detection, and Time Lapse.
Motion and Impact detection mode uses your cameras image sensor to detect movement, and the inbuilt accelerometer/G-sensor to detect bumps or impacts. To reduce the number of unwanted recordings triggered by motion and movement, the DR970X-2CH LTE PLUS can specify areas to ignore, eliminating recordings triggered by things like swaying trees, far-away moving objects, etc.
In Time Lapse mode, to reduce the size of the video files and save SD card space, the camera will continuously record at just 1FPS (one frame per second), rather than the standard 30/60 FPS. All event clips however are recorded at full resolution and 30FPS. A standard 64GB microSD card can store over 96hrs of time lapse video at the highest (Extreme) video quality level.
