BlackVue's DR590W-2CH-IR is a value-packed model from industry-leading dashcam manufacturer Pittasoft BlackVue. The DR590W-2CH-IR is a WiFi accessible, dual-lens (two-channel, for front-facing and interior-facing video) dashcam that records in Full HD 1080p resolution (from both front and inside-facing lenses). The DR590W-2CH-IR is an upgraded model which adds WiFi to the DR590-2CH-IR.
Note: despite having WiFi built-in for a direct-WiFi connection to your smartphone, the DR590W-2CH-IR is not cloud-capable. However, this does mean that with the DR590W-2CH-IR's direct WiFi capability, you can connect directly with your smartphone to the camera, to 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-2CH-IR, DR750S-1CH or DR750S-2CH.
Night Vision Interior Recording
The new DR590W-2CH-IR's infrared interior camera provides clarity even in complete darkness. The infrared camera secures the interior, driver, and passengers of your vehicle. The inconspicuous infrared LEDs automatically activate based on the ambient light inside your vehicle. The camera’s spectacular clarity even in pitch black lighting conditions offers excellent peace of mind to taxi and rideshare/TNC drivers.
Utilizing the BlackVue App or Viewer, you can further customize the way the DR590W-2CH-IR operates; including 180° Image Rotation to accommodate your setup: if the image comes out upside down, just activate this feature and it will fix the image orientation. In addition to this, you can also control the LED settings, giving you complete stealth while in Parking Mode.
Our favorite things about the DR590W-2CH-IR
- Reliable Full HD dual 1080p front and in-cabin video recording. Install the second lens on your windshield to double the video coverage inside 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-IR 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-IR 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-2CH-IR is almost identical to the also-just-released DR590W-1CH, except for the addition of a separate second camera on the DR590W-2CH-IR that is designed to mount in the front (or rear) windshield to record what is going on inside your car. With simple plug-and-play operation, you can be safely recording both in front of and inside 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-IR. 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-IR).
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.
