BlackVue DR970X-2CH-IR | The Flagship Just Got Better

The DR970X-2CH-IR is the newest flagship Front + Interior dash cam from industry leader BlackVue. This dash cam boasts an upgraded Front-Facing 4K camera and CPU as well as a 1080p Full HD infrared Interior-Facing camera, allowing for the highest quality footage and crisp shots of important details.

With the infrared Interior-Facing feature, these dash cams can monitor what's going on inside the vehicle day or night, including the actions of the driver and passengers. This can be particularly useful for parents of teenage drivers, ride-sharing services, and company vehicles. In addition to the interior cabin view, these dash cams can also be positioned to capture what's out the rearview window, a best of both worlds bonus over other camera systems.

The DR970X-2CH-IR also comes loaded with all the additional features you'd expect from a flagship dash cam, such as parking surveillance mode, seamless app pairing, optional LTE cloud connectivity, built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth, as well as the option to add a secondary rear or interior camera at any point in the future. Read on to learn more about the features of the DR970X-2CH-IR.

Dashcam Front + Interior Footage Example

Upgraded 4K Quality

The upgrades to the DR970X series start at its core with a powerful new SigmaStar CPU and ISP built from the ground up, producing crisp 4K ultra high definition footage of important details such as signs and license plate information. The 8-megapixel CMOS sensor provides outstanding low-light image quality insuring everything is caught clearly no matter the lighting condition.

BlackVue DR970X-2CH | Secondary Camera Options

Swappable Secondary Camera

The DR970X-2CH gives you the option to choose between a rear facing OR interior facing camera. Much like the previous generation DR750X & DR900X series, the DR970X series comes equipped with an extra input port for a secondary camera. So, you can store your secondary and rock a DR970X front-only dash cam or switch the secondary camera out with the other if you choose to do so.

Wanna keep it simple and start out with just one camera? Check out the DR970X-1CH.

GPS, Wi-Fi and Optional LTE

GPS

You can check the position of your vehicle on the map while playing back the video, and the speed can also be overlaid on the video. The speed overlay can be hidden in the settings.

Wi-Fi

With Wi-Fi connectivity, you can easily link your BlackVue dashcam to your smartphone or tablet. Additionally, Wi-Fi allows your BlackVue to connect to the BlackVue Cloud using any mobile or home Wi-Fi hotspot or router for easy access to files and settings.

Optional LTE

The DR970X can be connected to BlackVue Cloud via an optional LTE connectivity module via the USB port for the best Cloud experience.

*SIM card not included.*

Optional LTE Module

The optional CM100LTE module makes it easy to connect to the cloud 24/7. This add-on device connects to the DR970X front camera via USB port, providing a constant internet connection and allowing the DR970X to serve as a mobile hotspot for up to five devices. Unlike in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspots, the module stays powered on while parked and provides access to your dash camera from anywhere in the world.

* A valid 4G/LTE SIM card is required

3 Native Parking Surveillance Modes

The DR970X can be hardwired to your vehicle's fuse panel for Parking Surveillance Mode with the included hardwiring kit or optional B-130X battery back. The DR970X will switch to Parking Mode automatically when vehicle ignition is turned off. Parking Mode comes in 3 variations.

Motion

Triggered when the sensor detects movement (marked “P” in the file list).

Impact

detected by the accelerometer/G-sensor (marked “E” in the file list)

Time Lapse Mode

Records continuously at 1FPS. 1-minute Time lapse Parking Mode video = 30 minutes real time coverage. Impacts initiate a buffered Event video.

BlackVue DR970X-2CH Dash Cam Impact & Motion Detection Information

Built-in Impact & Motion Detection

While on the road, the built-in accelerometer (G-sensor) can detect sudden changes in speed or impacts. When parked, the DR970X can also detect any visual movements around your vehicle. These events are automatically tagged and saved. If a cloud connection is present, you'll have the ability to receive alerts and view the clips from both computer and mobile device.

Cloud Features At Your Fingertips

More Features & Information

The DR970X-2CH is of course still fully functional as a 'typical' dash cam, recording at all times when you drive, whether you choose to utilize the optional LTE / Cloud features or not:

  • When plugged in to your standard power outlet in the vehicle, the system will still power on and off with the vehicle, automatically recording audio, video and GPS speed & location at all times as you drive.
  • For motion detection ("parking mode") recording, the DR970X-2CH can be hardwired directly to the vehicle's electrical system via the included direct-wire cable, a new value-added feature of the BlackVue "X" series. No need for a separate Power Magic Pro (although you can still use the Power Magic Pro if you desire). Alternatively, the DR970X-2CH can also be powered by the BlackVue B-130X Battery Pack instead of your car battery while the vehicle is parked.
  • All normal driving and parking mode recordings are automatically stored locally on the internal BlackVue memory card (64/128/256 GB options available). Once the memory card is completely 'full', only the oldest video file on the card is overwritten as each new video file is created (this is known as loop recording).
  • The memory card can be removed and plugged in to your PC or Mac using the included microSD to USB adapter. This is an easy way to do a bulk download or backup of all your videos.
  • The DR970X-2CH does not have a screen on it from which to play back recorded videos from the memory card. Thankfully, the recordings can be accessed via a direct WiFi connection. You can connect to the 750X with your smartphone the same way you would connect to a WiFi network at home or at Starbucks, then use the free BlackVue app to view and download your recordings directly from the camera.
  • Audio recording, on by default, can be disabled temporarily, or turned off completely by default.
  • GPS speed display can be disabled from being visible in your video recordings.
  • Everything you need to use the system is included in the box: front camera with adhesive windshield mount, BlackVue memory card, plug-in power cable, optional direct-wire power cord, etc.

A Note on Memory Cards

All BlackVue dashcams include a BlackVue-branded 64, 128 or 256 GB 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 VNAND-type microSD cards and are designed and tested to withstand the extreme temperatures, vibrations and the constant read/write cycles of high quality dashcams. Typical consumer-grade memory cards such as those from SanDisk 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.
