The BlackVue DR970X-2CH PLUS [RIDESHARE] 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-2CH PLUS [RIDESHARE] to deliver sharper footage, even on busier roads and highways.

The BlackVue DR970X-2CH PLUS [RIDESHARE] Dash Cam is the latest 4K rideshare Dash Cam from BlackVue. The DR970X-2CH PLUS [RIDESHARE] model contains 2 cameras, one to record the road ahead and one smaller infrared camera to capture footage in the cabin. The two cameras are connected by a 1.5m cable providing flexibility to position the in-cabin camera where desired.

The BlackVue DR970X-2CH PLUS [RIDESHARE] Dash Cam is an effective solution for monitoring/recording in-cabin behaviour. The main front facing camera records in 4K ULTRA HD with an 8.4MP lens. The separate 1080P FULL HD in-cabin camera is mounted on the front windscreen facing inside the cabin and utilises infrared lights to enhance dim/dark cabin footage. The in-cabin facing camera also has an ultra wide angle of view at 178° for maximum coverage inside the cabin.

This is a popular Dash Cam choice for the passenger transport industry as it provides transport drivers with a high level of protection. Passenger behaviour can be monitored and recorded by the in-cabin facing camera. Fleet operators can also benefit from the DR970X-2CH PLUS [RIDESHARE] Dash Cam as driver behaviour can be recorded and monitored. Poor and dangerous driver behaviour will be recorded thus reducing the risks associated with careless driving. Knowing you are being recorded by a Dash Cam ensures you put on your best driving behaviour and best concentration.

The DR970X-2CH PLUS [RIDESHARE] version is a performance based Dash Cam that has been refined and improved to showcase some of the best features BlackVue currently has to offer. The prestige, elegance and functionality you expect from BlackVue is maintained, like inbuilt Wi-Fi, inbuilt GPS, 256GB storage capacity and one the best Dash Cam designs.

Fleet vehicles can be monitored remotely by utilising the BlackVue “Over The Cloud” add-on tracking feature (additional costs). Each Dash Cam will require an internet source within the vehicle which can be done via an existing hotspot or the BlackVue CM100 modem. The CM100LTE is an external 4G LTE module that plugs directly into the Dash Cam allowing the BlackVue cloud feature to be used. All that is required is a nano sim card (BYO) and once the camera 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 recording features and functions of the DR970X-2CH PLUS [RIDESHARE] are operational without this module.

An optional BlackVue tamperproof case is also available which prevents drivers from removing the Micro SD card or pulling out cords from the front camera.

The BlackVue DR970X-2CH PLUS [RIDESHARE] comes with a solid 3-year BlackVue manufacturer camera warranty* and a 12 month warranty on accessories.
