Features & Specs
BlackVue DR970X-2CH - Redefining the dashcam
4K UHD Dual-Channel Cloud Dashcam
The DR970X Series front camera produces crisper 4K videos than its predecessors. The difference is actually quite noticeable when looking at side-by-side footage. You can clearly see finer details even from a further distance.
The Full HD rear camera is also better than past models at capturing videos in low light and has better dynamic range overall.
Front camera with 4K Ultra High Definition (3840 x 2160 @30FPS)
Rear camera with Full HD (1920 x1080 @30FPS)
8M Pixels front image sensor (4 times more pixels than Full HD)
Support Parking Mode with Impact and Motion Detections, Time Lapse and Region-based Motion Detections
Support optional LTE module for Cloud Connectivity
Support Native Parking Mode (hardwiring cable included)
New CPU with Image Signal Processing Tuning
In simple terms: the image looks better, especially at night and in high-contrast scenes where most cameras struggle to preserve detail in highlights and dark areas.
Discover the 4K Difference
4K in a dashcam is not a gimmick. It is a game-changer. It is not about playing videos on a giant screen–although you could do that too. It’s about providing video proof.

4K in a dashcam is not a gimmick. It is a game-changer. It is not about playing videos on a giant screen–although you could do that too. It’s about providing video proof. A dashcam is only as good as its ability to capture crucial details–usually license plate numbers. The 8-megapixel 4K UHD sensor does just that by capturing 4 times as many pixels as in Full HD. And with its fast shutter speed, details are frozen in place. Just pause and zoom in.

Built-in Speaker, Impact Sensor and Motion Detection
Speaker: your dashcam tells you when it turns on, shuts down or detects errors. Accelerometer: detects impacts to trigger Event recording. Triggers 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. 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).
* For Parking Mode, the dashcam needs to be hardwired with power from your car battery or an optional Cellink Battery pack.

Native Parking Mode
Hardwiring cable included DR970X 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 Series is also compatible with all Parking Mode Kits and Batteries. Disclaimer: Vehicle battery life and performance maybe affected which lead to premature failure especially with frequent short driving. Not compatible with some continental vehicles which may triggers dashboard error. Not recommended for most new vehicles under warranty due to agent restrictions.
Intelligent Parking Mode Monitoring
Peace of mind with extra security when you are away from your car With included hardwiring kit or optional Cellink batteries, you can rest easy, knowing that your car is being monitored while you are away. 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 series supports two Parking Mode options:
Note: In Time Lapse mode, only the impact Event videos include buffering. In Motion & Impact Detection mode, both motion and impact videos include buffering. Learn more about Time Lapse and Motion & Impact Detection here >.
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.
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 27 hours on a 16GB microSD card front and rear at the highest (Extreme) quality setting. When an impact is detected, the dashcam creates a buffered Event video.
And also:
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.
Push Notification: If your dashcam is connected to the Cloud Service, you will receive instant push notification to your smartphone if there's an impact detected when you're away from your car.
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.
Scheduled Reboot: Schedule a daily automatic reboot (optional—by default at night) to minimize potential errors. Reboots happen only if the dashcam is in Parking Mode and not writing data to the microSD card. This means no Normal driving, Event, or Parking Mode recording can be interrupted by a scheduled reboot.
