Best compression
and high bitrate

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) and AVC (H.264) support.

H.264 and H.265 Codec Support.

The DR970X Plus Series features H.265, also called High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), the leading standard in 4K recording and broadcasting. H.265 ensures the best video quality. The more widely compatible H.264 is also supported.

Higher bitrate for uncompromising video quality.

When using HEVC, the 4K front camera can record at a high bitrate of up to 60 megabits per second, which lets the camera deliver amazing artifact-free image quality in even the most complex fast-moving scenes.

Worried about large files over the Cloud or Wi-Fi?

BlackVue’s Sub-Stream technology embeds Quick Play–under 5MB–versions of the videos in the original files. Quick Play files allow for instant buffer-free playback over the Cloud or a Wi-Fi connection. If needed, you can also play the original full resolution videos for maximum quality.

LTE Connectivity
Module (optional)

Add LTE connectivity to your BlackVue and turn your dash cam into a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Easily enable BlackVue Cloud

The CM100G LTE provides easy 4G LTE connectivity to enable BlackVue Cloud features. All you need is a valid Nano SIM card. The CM100G LTE is powered and connects via the USB port of your dashcam.

Unlock Mobile Hotspot Function

Turn your BlackVue into a mobile internet router for up to five devices concurrently. This means you and your passengers can now use your BlackVue’s internet on your laptop, portable game console, tablet or mobile.

To connect to the BlackVue, simply open your devices’ Wi-Fi menu, select the BlackVue and enter the dashcam’s Wi-Fi password.

Note: when purchasing, make sure the CM100G LTE you choose is compatible with your mobile carrier’s network.

Easy Installation

12V adapter and hardwiring kit both included in the box.

BlackVue dashcams are very easy to install.
Attach the front unit to the windshield behind the rear view mirror with the provided double-sided tape.
This way, the dashcam is invisible to the driver’s eye. Simply plug the power cords into the 12V power socket of your vehicle and it will automatically start recording as you turn ignition on (no need to push any button).
Once set, you can forget about it, knowing it will reliably record your drive.

For Parking Mode support, follow the hardwiring instructions (hardwiring harness included).

TIP: want to check the exact field of view of the cameras before sticking the mount to your windshield?
Power the dash cam using the 12V adapter cable and connect with the BlackVue App (iOS/Android). You can check the Live View from the camera via your phone to position the camera in the perfect spot.

Seamless Pairing

Easy setup with the BlackVue App. Secure and passwordless.

Seamless Pairing
Secure and effortless setup. No password needed.

Simply connect to your dashcam without leaving the BlackVue App. With Seamless Pairing, setting up your dashcam is a breeze. Just power the dashcam, then easily connect from the BlackVue app and follow the simple instructions.

Whether you want to browse your dashcam’s files and settings or connect your dashcam to the Cloud, Seamless Pairing makes everything easy and intuitive.

Sleek interface

And tons of smart features in a compact design.

Speaker:
Your dash cam tells you when it turns on, shuts down or detects errors.

Accelerometer:
Detects impacts to trigger Event recording. Enables Parking Mode* when stationary for 5 minutes.

Automatically tags video files:
While driving, the built-in accelerometer (G-sensor) detects impacts and sudden changes in speed. While parked, your BlackVue also detects visual movements around your vehicles (in Motion + Impact detection mode).

Use the filters in the BlackVue App and Viewer:
BlackVue tags all videos (Normal, Event, Parking Mode, etc.), so that you can filter them and quickly find the ones you need in the BlackVue Viewer (Windows, Mac OS, Web) or the BlackVue App (Android, iOS).

Your videos are safe

BlackVue App (iOS, Android) and Viewer (Windows/Mac/Web)

Event Files Overwrite Protection: dashcams record in a loop, overwriting older files when the memory is full. BlackVue can prevent Event files (triggered manually or by impacts) overwriting. Up to fifty (50) files can be protected this way. You can choose to allow new Event files to overwrite past Event files, thus keeping the latest fifty.

Adaptive Format-Free File Management: this BlackVue-developed file system improves recording stability and requires less microSD card formatting.

SD Card Failure Alert: your BlackVue detects as soon as the microSD card fails and warns you with a “Please check SD card” voice alert.

Native Parking Mode

Let your BlackVue watch over your vehicle 24/7. Hardwiring cable included.

Hardwiring cable included
DR970X Plus Series can be hardwired to your vehicle’s fuse panel for Parking Mode, without requiring optional accessories. The dashcam will switch to Parking Mode automatically when vehicle ignition is turned off. Voltage cutoff and timer can be set in the BlackVue App.

Parking Mode accessories support
DR970X Plus Series is also compatible with all BlackVue Parking Mode Kits and Batteries.

Intelligent Parking Mode

Protect your car when you are away.

Parking Mode Kits

Parking Mode Batteries

BlackVue automatically switches to Parking Mode to monitor your parked vehicle.
Thanks to video buffer, the few seconds leading to triggering events are also recorded.
DR970X Plus supports two Parking Mode options:

Motion & Impact Detection mode

Region – Based
Motion Detection

Motion & Impact Detection Parking Mode detects both:

• Motions recorded by the image sensor (marked “P” in the file list).
• Impacts detected by the accelerometer/G-sensor (marked “E” in the file list).

Choose detection regions to reduce the risk of triggering unwanted motion recordings due to trees swaying in the wind, far-away moving objects, etc.

Time lapse mode

Time Lapse +
Buffered Events

Continuously records at 1FPS (one frame per second). Videos are played back at 30FPS.
1-minute Time lapse Parking Mode video = 30 minutes real time coverage.
Cover a period of more than 62 hours on a single 64GB microSD card at the highest (Extreme) quality setting.
When an impact is detected, the dashcam creates a buffered Event video.

Parking Mode Event Voice Notifications:
Upon exiting Parking Mode, your BlackVue tells you if Events were recorded when you were away from your car, so you can check right away the Event videos on the BlackVue App.

Scheduled Reboot:
Schedule a daily automatic reboot (optional—at night by default ) to minimize potential errors. Reboots happen only if the dashcam is in Parking Mode and not writing data to the microSD card.

Super stealthy:
Completely turn off all LED indicators in Parking Mode. Only the recording LED indicator facing the interior of the vehicle will blink when motion or impact is detected.
