The BlackVue DR970X-1CH PLUS 4K Dash Cam is the latest flagship Dash Cam in the BlackVue range.

The BlackVue DR970X-1CH PLUS is a premium Dash Cam delivering 4K UHD video quality bolstered by the next generation Sony Starvis 2 IMX678 sensor. 

Combining Sony’s world-class STARVIS 2 sensor technology and BlackVue’s expert image signal processor (ISP) tuning, the DR970X-1CH PLUS front camera delivers sharper and more detailed videos under challenging lighting conditions.

The BlackVue DR970X-1CH PLUS Dash Cam has been upgraded with a much larger  f/1.7 aperture lens allowing more light to reach the sensor for clearer footage. Increased shutter speed also allows the DR970X-1CH PLUS to deliver sharper footage, even on busier roads and highways.

BlackVue is one of the global leaders in Dash Cam design and functionality and have an enviable reputation as being one of the market leaders. The release of the DR970X-1CH PLUS Dash Cam plays to the premium reputation of BlackVue and proves once again, BlackVue are at the forefront of Dash Cam technology and excellence.

The BlackVue DR970X-1CH PLUS Dash Cam maintains all the characteristic features that are expected from BlackVue. The DR970X-1CH PLUS Dash Cam showcases 4K UHD resolution + 8.4MP Sony Starvis 2.0 CMOS sensor. This is a high performance, front recording BlackVue Dash Cam.

The prestige, elegance and functionality you expect from BlackVue is maintained, with inbuilt Wi-Fi, inbuilt GPS, 512GB storage capacity, intuitive park mode, cloud connectivity and an iconic Dash Cam design.

The BlackVue DR970X-1CH PLUS comes with a solid 3-year BlackVue manufacturer camera warranty* and a 12 month warranty on accessories.

The notable features of the DR970X-1CH PLUS Dash Cam include:

1. 4K Ultra HD resolution + f/1.7 lens aperture + 8.4MP next generation Sony Starvis 2.0 sensor delivers better video evidence in challenging lighting conditions. Video quality is sharper and clearer while giving you the best opportunity at picking up details from farther away.

2. BlackVue include customisable video quality options so you can boost the 4K UHD recording quality even further. “Extreme” recording mode options bump the front camera bit rate up to 40-60 Mbps. This further improves the video quality by sharpening details and reducing video “noise”.

3. Faster shutter speeds make paused videos sharper at higher speeds.

4. Cloud compatibility via the BlackVue CM100LTE 4G external module (optional add-on) for those customers wanting to use the BlackVue “Over The Cloud” feature. The cloud feature allows users to tap into the camera while away from it and also receive notifications while parked. The CM100LTE is an external 4G LTE module that plugs directly into the DR970X-1CH PLUS allowing the BlackVue cloud feature to be used. All that is required is a nano sim card (BYO) and once the Dash Cam has power, so does the CM100LTE module, making the need for an external Wi-Fi hotspot redundant. If the BlackVue cloud connectivity is not required, there is no requirement for this module. All other features and functions of the DR970X-1CH PLUS are operational without this module.

5. Time lapse park mode and traditional pre-buffered parking mode recording which captures the 5 second lead up to the triggering event (motion or impact triggers).  The BlackVue DR970X-1CH PLUS has internal voltage monitoring that will shut the camera down once the set cut off voltage has been reached (parking mode requires installation of the included hardwire cable into the fusebox).

6. The iconic BlackVue Dash Cam design is clean and minimal which blends into all car interiors while adding an element of prestige and quality.

7. Large 512GB compatible Micro SD card capacity to hold up to 119 hours of total video files at default settings.

8. A low distortion, wide 146° angle of view on the front camera to capture maximum action around your car.

9. Event File Overwrite Protection. Up to 50 event files can be locked and protected being overwritten by newer files. These protected event files can be either manually triggered files (via tapping the touch sensor), impacts during normal driving mode and impacts during parking mode.

10. Intuitive, free BlackVue App and BlackVue software player allowing you to stream/watch video files or configure the Dash Cam with ease.

BlackVue DR970X-1CH PLUS Dash Cam Installation Options:

1. Cigarette Lighter Adapter (included): Easiest method, no technical expertise required. Just plug the cigarette lighter adapter into your vehicle Cigarette lighter socket. Only powers dash cam while car is on, no parking mode features.
2. Blackvue USB-C Power Cable (optional extra): Many new cars have replaced the cigarette lighter socket with a USB-C connection. This makes for a smaller, sleeker connection. This method is basically the same as the cigarette lighter adapter method.
3. Blackvue OBD-II Power Cable (optional extra): Simple, DIY, Plug and Play into your vehicle’s OBDii port for constant power to allow for parking mode. Easier than hardwiring. No need for costly professional installation. Not compatible with all vehicles such as Teslas and some EV’s.
4. Hardwiring kit (included): Most permanent solution, offers parking mode features. Most difficult option, requires familiarity with car electrical systems. Expect to pay between $200-$400 for professional installation. 
5. Battery Pack ( optional extra): Simple, DIY, Plug and Play. Good option for those who don’t want to hardwire or have a smaller car battery. The battery charges when the car is on via the cigarette lighter charger and then gives power to the dash cam when the vehicle is off.  Can also be used to charge other devices. External battery can be hidden under passenger seat. 

After you have successfully connected the right power cable, the only thing left to do is mount the dash cam to the windscreen and hide the cables through your vehicles trim and seal strips. You can use the supplied cable clips to help.
