BlackVue's dual-lens dashcam, the DR590W-2CH is a value-packed model from industry-leading dashcam manufacturer Pittasoft BlackVue. The DR590W-2CH is a WiFi accessible, dual-lens (two-channel, for front-facing and rear-facing video) dashcam that records in Full HD 1080p resolution (from both front and rear lenses). The DR590W-2CH is an upgraded model which adds WiFi to the DR590-2CH.
The differences between the DR590-2CH and the DR590W-2CH
- The DR590W-2CH (the dashcam on this page) includes built in WiFi, to access the camera via the BlackVue smartphone app
- No WiFi interface on the DR590-2CH (must remove memory card to access recordings)
- WiFi on/off toggle button on the 590W vs. the microphone on/off toggle button on the 590
Note: despite having WiFi built-in, the DR590W-2CH is not cloud-capable. This means that with the DR590W-2CH, you can check the camera's live view, easily adjust settings and transfer videos to your phone with the BlackVue app, however, you cannot access your camera Over-the-Cloud like you can do with the BlackVue DR650S, DR750S-1CH or DR750S-2CH.
Our favorite things about the DR590W-2CH
- Reliable Full HD dual 1080p front and rear video recording. Install the second lens in your back windshield to double the video coverage around your vehicle.
- Excellent price point for BlackVue quality and Sony STARVIS™ imaging power.
- Direct WiFi access to check live view for camera aiming/placement, or to change settings or download files to your smartphone
- Improved features such as Adaptive Format Free Technology, for less maintenance of the memory card
- Smallest form factor for extremely discrete in-car audio and/or video recording.
- Industrial capacitor-based power, no lithium battery inside to fail in the heat or cold.
- Optional GPS position and speed logging (via an external GPS antenna).
- Voice announcements. Know what your dash cam is doing without needing to look at it.
The DR590W-2CH is an excellent choice for those who would like the higher 1080p video resolution (as compared to the DR430 and 470's 720p camera resolution), but who also may not necessarily need all the additional bells and whistles of some of the more advanced BlackVue cameras such as the Cloud-Capable DR750S-2CH. However, like the DR750S-2CH, the DR590W-2CH front camera does benefit from using Sony's newest STARVIS™ imaging sensor, for superior video quality during the day and even at night when lesser dashcams may suffer.
BlackVue's new DR590W is almost identical to the also-just-released DR590W-1CH, except for the addition of a separate rear camera on the DR590W-2CH that is designed to mount in the rear windshield to record what is going on behind your car. With simple plug-and-play operation, you can be safely recording both in front of and behind your car in a matter of minutes!
Don't need WiFi and want to save a few bucks? Check out the non-WiFi version: DR590-2CH. Remember, WiFi enables you to connect directly to the camera to configure settings, download videos to your phone without needing to remove the memory card from the dashcam (as is necessary on the non-WiFi DR590-2CH).
A Note on Memory Cards
BlackVue dashcams include a 32, 64, 128 or 256GB memory card. While the memory cards are removable and the card
slots will accept other brands of memory cards, we strongly suggest the use of only BlackVue memory cards in the
BlackVue dashcams, as the use of a non BlackVue memory card may cause performance issues and may void your
manufacturer’s warranty.
BlackVue OEM memory cards are industrial-grade and are designed and tested to withstand the extreme temperatures and
the constant read/write cycles of high quality dashcams. Consumer-grade memory cards such as those from SanDisk or
Samsung are simply not up to the task. Stick with the OEM BlackVue memory cards to ensure your dashcams are always
recording when it matters most.
