BlackVue DR970X-2CH-IR-PLUS | The Flagship Taxi/Rideshare Dash Cam Just Got Better

The best "IR" dash cam in the business just got better, introducing the new BlackVue DR970X-2CH-IR-PLUS! This new FRONT + INTERIOR dash cam system is the latest upgrade from dash cam powerhouse BlackVue to their DR970X series. The new PLUS series is designed to push their 4K recording to the next level with an unprecedented amount of detail. The heart of this upgrade is in the newly integrated Sony STARVIS 2 image sensor, which utilizes proprietary technology to simultaneously adjust both dark and bright areas, ensuring a perfectly balanced and detailed image, no matter the environment.

The DR970X Plus series is not just about superior image quality; it's a full package of top-tier features. You'll enjoy the convenience of parking surveillance mode, effortless app connectivity, and the option for LTE cloud connectivity. With built-in 5GHz Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth, this dash cam ensures seamless integration and functionality. And with the flexibility to swap your secondary rear camera later for an interior facing one, you won't have to buy an entirely new system should you choose to.

With the infrared Interior-Facing secondary camera, 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.

What's New?

Sony STARVIS 2 sensor

All DR970X-PLUS front cameras now feature the new STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor, which greatly improves sensitivity in low-light and high-contrast areas.

Improved ISP tuning

BlackVue's own refinement to the image sensor processor, enhancing its ability to capture intricate details like license plates in low-light conditions, even when headlights cause reflections on vehicles.

2x the event buffer

The DR970X-PLUS models now feature a 10-second buffer, up from 5 seconds for previous models. Meaning auto event triggers record twice as much.

HEVC/H.265 codec

Higher-efficiency video coding compression algorithm better preserves details and also allows for recording at a higher bitrate.

Enhanced 4K Quality

As seen in the comparison footage, the 4K recording quality is enhanced by the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor, providing superior low-light sensitivity and a much wider dynamic range than the previous generation. A faster f/1.7 aperture lens allows in more light, reducing blur and capturing details sharply. The enhanced image signal processing delivers exceptional clarity, especially in night and high-contrast scenes, while the HEVC/H.265 codec allows higher-quality recordings at increased bitrates, ensuring every detail is vividly captured.

BlackVue DR970X-2CH-IR-PLUS 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.

GPS, Wi-Fi and Seamless Pairing

GPS Logging

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.

5GHz Wi-Fi Connectivity

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 Module

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

BlackVue DR970X-2CH-IR-PLUS Dash Cam | Optional BlackVue LTE Module Graphic

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. If you'd like LTE built directly into your dash cam, check out the DR970X-2CH-LTE-PLUS.

Cloud Features At Your Fingertips

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.

More Features & Information

The DR970X-2CH-IR-PLUS 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-IR-PLUS 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-IR-PLUS 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-IR-PLUS 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.

What's In The Box?

BlackVue DR970X-2CH-IR-PLUS Dash Cam | Retail Box Contents

A Note on Memory Cards

All BlackVue dashcams include a BlackVue-branded 64, 128, 256, 512 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.
