Just bought this one for my 2013 FPIS. I also have the DR900X plus for my 2020 Volvo S60. I can’t really tell the difference between the two minus the minor updates. They both are fantastic. I had a DR750s 2CH and lasted for 11 years. I finally had to retire the camera because the lens became very blurry due to the Texas heat. For the money these cameras in my experience last a very long time. The app for iPhone is great. It can be annoying when it disconnects from WiFi however it’s forgivable. Technology is not perfect especially when you work in IT were stuff breaks everyday lol. Very happy overall and an investment that will last hopefully for another 10+ years.

@blackboxmycar 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for your feedback and sharing your experience!

@IntegraDIY Год назад

Hey blackvue, love your cameras. I depend on my dr750lte every single day, and it’s never let me down in anyway. But the new phone app is not good. I don’t care to see other peoples dash cam footage, and peoples live view.. it seems like a social media built into an app I just need to check my footage and check my own live view. I really wish I didn’t have to update, now I don’t feel like checking my camera anymore, since the update. Also, 14 hours in parking mode is not enough, please blackvue, we need 24hrs with fast chargeing capabilities.. under 1 hour to charge to 100% with 24hr battery life.

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Hey there, thanks for the feedback! Rest assured we have voiced this feedback to BlackVue directly, and there are updates to the app due to be released within this week focused on the addition of a guest profile and moving the default tab to the camera tab. Extending parking mode is more difficult, especially given that your LTE model must stay connected to the internet at all times to provide these advanced features. Still, we'll pass on your feedback to BlackVue.

@hedge8888 Год назад

Question about the LTE version: Does it still have the 3 spots to enter a wifi network and if so does it try the wifi networks before failing over to LTE or is that the primary connectivity? Thanks.

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Oh good question! Yes, I can confirm that the LTE version will have 3 spots for exterior wifi networks. It will default to these connections when in range over the LTE.

@Bearsfan920 Год назад

I have the 900xp plus with rear camera. The rear camera works but there’s times the front camera doesn’t. I think it’s too hot. I had problems with the lte divice as well as my t-mobile sync drive. I tried updating the firmware. My question is if I but the DR970X could I “when needed” format the sd card & update firmware, than put it back into the 900x plus. I’ve been wanting a 3rd camera & this makes more sense. I’d put the 900x for passenger side & put new 970 as front windshield. Also would this camera help my 900x connection to Wi-Fi? Does 970 have a SIM card slot, that I can put a 3rd party provider? Can the 900X feed off of the Wi-Fi from 970? Also in regards to pick-up trucks. Are there any 4K dash cams that’s weather resistant, for a license plate mount. I have the rear camera on my back window of my Ram. I feel if I had on outside on the plate frame, I’d get closer to reading the vehicle plates behind me. I only see 1080p for rear dashcam for plate frames.

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Hi there, lots to unpack here. Yes you can use third party cards with the DR970X and DR900X, and format/update the firmware on a computer. The DR970X does come in a non-LTE and an LTE version, with the LTE version have a SIM slot for the cloud. Once set up, you are able to use this as a hotspot for your DR900X. There are only currently 1080p external rear cameras at this moment. For more in-depth responses, I recommend emailing us at: info@blackboxmycar.com

@jamesmorgan2465 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the Review...👍Does one also get recording while parked ? That's important to me.

@blackboxmycar 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely! As long as this camera is connected to a power source, it will stay on in parking mode. For more information on parking mode, check out our article here: www.blackboxmycar.com/pages/parking-mode

Hi, Can you read the number plates properly if necessary in the event of an accident or a hit and run in a parking lot? Because this is a problem that arises with many dash cams.

4k cameras are ideal for capturing fine details such as this. Still, the proof is in the pudding, so check out some sample footage for yourself here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BbSUH62RpiU.html

Can I re-use the hard wire power cable from my DR750S? (minus the Power Magic Pro of course!)

@blackboxmycar 9 месяцев назад

The Power Magic Pro would be the only part you could re-use, the cigarette lighter adapter connected to your camera would need to be replaced with the new version.

@damnitgarrett Год назад

Currently debating doing ridesharing, but I'm torn at the moment. I started with a DR900S-2CH after being rearended in April of 2020, then quickly upgraded to the DR900X-2CH a year and a half later. I always wanted Blackvue to make a 3CH version of the DR900X. I'm debating my options atm, I love the DR900X, meaning I'm probably leaning towards the DR970X-2CH LTE but I do kind of like the DR770X-3CH box. Is Blackvue ever going to do a 3CH 4k version? My other option would be running 3 cameras, Putting the new DR970X in the front, with the IR camera attached to that, then running my old DR900X in the back. Not sure which is more logical.

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Great question Garrett! Old-school 3-channel BlackVue setups would involve a front + IR with a separate front unit in the back, it is definitely feasible, though can be a bit complicated. If you were to run this setup, then you'll probably need a battery pack, with output that you can split for both systems. If you are doing ridesharing, then an IR interior camera is definitely necessary in our opinion, we have yet to hear word on a 3-channel 4k system from BlackVue in the works, getting 4k on a 3-channel system can be difficult.

@sandeepakasun3470 Год назад

I am interested in two things of a dash cam. 1. Live view 2. Cloud based storage What I so far noted, To have live view option from anywhere and anytime as Balckvue simply say, you need LTE versions and an active sim connection for the dash cam. Plus, to enjoy the service throughout your country you must decide the best connection in your country which has a strong coverage. The catch would be, those types of connections are not cheap (in my case Telstra is the beat coverage for rural areas in Australia and connection price is starting above AUD 50 per month) More, to enjoy cloud based and other better features we need to pay the Blackvue subscription which is not lower than AUD 16 at the moment per month. Basically, I am looking at AUD 70 - 90 per month cost just on the dash cam. As far as I did my review surfing, I would be lucky, if I do not find major issues with the app, having access to the app, navigating through the app and could checking and downloads. Should I buy it? What is the best reliable dash cam with above two features I am looking for? Please share your ideas. Thanks

@KrisKnight 11 месяцев назад

Where's the option to add multiple wifi on the DR970X-2ch wifi version (non LTE)? I used to be able to add up to 3 on my DR750X-2CH

@blackboxmycar 11 месяцев назад

While the BlackVue camera can act as a mobile hotspot for additional devices, it is unable to have other BlackVue cameras connected at the moment. I believe there were issues with the implementation when this was an option.

@ajaay9244 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately I've tested two DR970X and they both overheat in the sunlight where my DR750x Plus and the DR770x keeps on chugging in direct sunlight. I wonder if Blackvue will release a firmware update to raise the high cut-off temperature as currently per their specifications its at 167 degree high temp cut off (DR750x/DR770x has a 176 high temp cut off).

@blackboxmycar 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the feedback. The DR970X does run hotter, mainly due to the 4k image sensor in the camera, which is more taxing.

@EricSallick 2 месяца назад

I have an old Blackvue DR650S 2 channel already hardwired to my car. I want to upgrade to the DR970X 2 channel (the one you reviewed on this video). Can I just use the existing power cables and wires for the front and rear view cameras from my current setup and just plug in the new front and rear cameras to them? Are they compatible?

@blackboxmycar 2 месяца назад

If you have the DR650S hardwired to your car, then that means you are using a Power Magic Pro. The newly updated hardwire kit introduced with the X series does not need the Power Magic Pro, and I'd recommend rewiring the power cabling so you can control it in-app now. Still, if you'd like to only re-run the cigarette lighter adapter, keeping the PMP, it will technically work. As for the rear camera, the good news is that the cable is still exactly the same, though the rear camera itself is upgraded and will need to be swapped. We answer the differences more in-depth here: www.blackboxmycar.com/blogs/news/blackvue-x-vs-s#:~:text=Video%20quality%2Dwise%2C%20there%20isn,the%20difference%20is%20also%20minimal.

@ayaanbretmitchell9830 Год назад

Hi. Great review. This may be a silly question, but what happens if you out the car in the garage for work or if you want to wash the car, wont it go into parking mode? Does this function need switching off every time? Also parking mode only has battery life for 14 hours so what happens if you go on holiday for a week (ironically the time you need parking mode the most. Thanks

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Hi there, glad you like the review! The BlackVue DR970X will go into parking mode either when it detects that the car is off through it's wiring, or when the vehicle has been idle for 5 minutes. This function and parking mode overall is designed to be fully automatic. If you go on holiday, or have the car parked for a period beyond the length of parking mode, then the voltage cut-off will engage, and cut-off power to the camera until the vehicle is turned on.

@ayaanbretmitchell9830 Год назад

@@blackboxmycar yep ok. So if the car is going in for work or if I'm detailing the car it's best to turn the entire thing off?

@blackboxmycar Год назад

I mean, rest assured the camera will never kill the car battery or anything like that because of the voltage cut-off. Still, once it's reached that cut-off it will stop recording. You can turn off the system when sending your camera in for work, but it should be fine to leave it on.

@roseinrichness Год назад

Can you tell me please about LTE Module what is this black box for??? Thanks for your efforts ❤

@blackboxmycar Год назад

No problem! You can insert a SIM card into the LTE module, and through that it can provide internet for the dash cam. With that internet connection, it can connect to the cloud, and allow you to connect to the camera remotely. Beyond that, it also allows the camera to act as a mobile hotspot for you when you're in the vehicle.

@slimdogmilli Год назад

I’ve had the 900Xplus 2ch with CM100 LTE and 3 Blackvue battery packs (1 main with 2 extenders) for a few months. Worked okay until a couple weeks ago, coinciding with latest update. Now it won’t connect to cloud. So, no parking mode or remote live video. Help!!

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Sorry to hear that! I recommend connecting your 900X Plus to an alternative wifi source for the cloud, such as a mobile hotspot from your phone, or your house wifi. This is to ensure that the cloud service of the camera is still behaving properly, and isolate the issue to the CM100 LTE. If issues persist, please contact our support team at info@blackboxmycar.com

@slimdogmilli Год назад

@@blackboxmycar Thanks for the recommendation. Did the troubleshoot on the CM100 LTE by trying alt wifi. Still no luck with the cloud. Wifi is active in the car but the remote functionality is still not working through the cloud. After the zillionth call to Blackvue support, they have finally admitted there is a bug with the new app update, especially affecting iPhone users, 12- 14 models. I have the 12 pro max. They’re working on a fix, maybe by Tuesday, they said.

Question on the LTE version. I'm very new at this so bare with me. Can I view sd card content in real time with out cloud sevice, only using the LTE & app only. Do i have to view sd card content by taking out the card just to view?

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Hi there, yes you can fully view footage from the camera without the cloud service, you'll just be relying on the camera's built-in wifi, and being nearby the camera to connect.

@pinoyuc Год назад

@blackboxmycar Oic, so even though if i have LTE sevice no point correct. I don't want to pay a cloud subscription just view my footage in real time. Example wyze camera I can view alerts and view what's recorded on the sd using the app. Without paying subscription.

@Riceboy369 Год назад

Recently installed the BlackVue DR970X-2CH LTE with B-130x battery. Is there any way to turn OFF the Blackvue dash cam similar to had it was with Power magic pro? Even with parking mode turned off in the app there is still constant battery drain. Pretty annoying when you don't need parking mode and it drains the battery (e.g. parked at home garage over night)

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Gotcha, yes this is an option, as the B-130X battery has an on/off switch on the battery itself you can use instead to cut-off all power draw, similar to the Power Magic Pro. I recommend installing the battery in a way that makes this switch accessible. Otherwise, you'd be looking at wiring in an inline switch.

@Riceboy369 Год назад

Being that the B-130X battery is substantially bulky, I assume most people install it either under the seats or glove box. For me it's under the driver seat which makes it not easily accessible. It'd be easier to just unplug the power at the Blackvue dashcam. But honestly what's the point of turning off parking mode if the dashcam is still going to draw 12.xv power ?? Interestingly even with normal record mode and parking mode turn off from the app I can still see full power draw when plugged in.

How is the night mode on DR970x LTE? Compare to THINKWARE U3000-2CH?

@blackboxmycar 8 месяцев назад

The night vision is good, though the U3000 has better night vision with the Sony STARVIS 2 sensor. The DR970X LTE will have a DR970X LTE Plus version with this sensor in January, excited to see how it performs.

@fernandocornelis9397 Год назад

Question, I noticed the DR770X- BOX series has the GPS as an external device via USB, so if you want to add LTE with the CM100 you probably need a "Y" connector to plug both, correct? also -both GPS and LTE receivers must be attached to the windshiled too, and last but not least, where is the shock sensor located? at the main box? or at the front camera? Hope you can help, I'm trying to decide between the box series or the LTE 2ch version from Blackboxmycar.

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Hey there Fernando! Excellent questions here. I've followed up with my team and since we have yet to have hands-on with the device, it's tough to say for certain. So I've followed up with BlackVue directly on this, and we'll see what they have to say. I can say that worst case scenario there were previous USB splitters implemented with the DR750X-3CH, so that would work, but I don't believe it will come to that, and I'm currently leaning towards the CM100G having built-in GPS. Still though, I'll let you know once I have heard officially from BlackVue. I will also be enquiring about the G-sensor, though that is likely in the main unit as well.

@fernandocornelis9397 Год назад

Thank you for your feedback, I agree with the splitter adapter, I did't know about the all-in-one GPS+LTE module but I heard Vortex saying they are coming with an updated LTE module, so may be that's the answer, I have hopes the shock sensor to be in the front camera, otherwise the sensitivity will be compromised, I'm thinking if the front camera has LED so there must be a way of handshake to the main box -maybe? I appreicate any information you can come with so I can order the right system for me. Thank you-

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Sincerest apologies for the wait on this! We have gotten word from BlackVue directly (Finally) that the CM100G-LTE module, which is the current module being offered, has built-in GPS, so there should be no need for the stand-alone GPS!

Does the lte mode work when in parking mode without a battery? Would only parking events such as motion detection work, but not live view?

@blackboxmycar Год назад

The LTE mode and cloud feature work fully when in parking mode, even without a battery! Of course this implies that your wifi source stays on when the vehicle is off. You can arrange so that both impact and motion footage is uploaded to the cloud remotely while parked, and even have a notification sent to you if needed. The live-view is still fully functional when parked, you can easily check in on a live feed from the camera while it is parked.

My car connects to apple car play automatically. I heard this can be problematic. Is this something where I have to turn off apple car play everytime i get into my car, connect the 970X, and then turn on carplay?

@blackboxmycar Месяц назад

Ah, yes, this can be a problem, though there are workarounds. Basically, both your carplay and camera will operate as wifi signals, and the carplay may bully your phone off of the camera wifi. It does depend on your carplay, but most of the time it's the Bluetooth portion that performs this automatic connection, so when you need to connect to the camera, all you'll need to do is disable Bluetooth first. I can assure you that this won't need to be a regular thing when you enter/exit the car, you can just let your camera do its own thing, and only connect to the camera to view footage and change settings. We elaborate further on this issue here: www.blackboxmycar.com/pages/dash-cams-and-apple-carplay

Sorry to hear your iPhone 14 is having problems connecting, I believe it's very likely there's just nuances with the connection on a new device that need to be addressed, and I can confirm that this camera is fully compatible with your phone. You mention IOS 11, and sometimes new phone software/updates can interfere with the connection. The manufacturer is normally on top of this, and rolls out firmware updates regularly to address this, so make sure the firmware of the camera is updated. Beyond that, try connecting with your phone in airplane mode, and ensure you are following the steps here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vWF_gS30PBM.html&lc=UgynzXaq5rdV9DaZEDN4AaABAg

So I can just buy the one channel Dr970X and upgrade my existing system?

Yes, it's a very easy upgrade from previous BlackVue models! Depending on your camera model of course.

@@blackboxmycar thanks for your response, I immediately bought it after I read it. I’ve had this brand since 2016 DR650 and continue to enjoy your products, batteries included. Now let’s work on a three channel and upgrade the rear camera and a wide angle for the cabin to cover as much of the blind spots. Thanks again

Hi there, if you are looking for remote cloud storage as you've described, then BlackVue would be your best bet, let me clear a few things up. Yes, BlackVue does have paid plans for the cloud, however the free plan is very comprehensive, and works for the vast majority of our customers. As for the LTE versions, these versions are not required for the cloud by any means, and just refer to their option to take an SD card, as you've described. Standard 770 and 970 models are still definitely cloud capable, though you'll need another wifi source, likely a mobile hotspot in the vehicle. Realistically, BlackVue's app is the one of the most advanced dash cam apps out there, there has just been some recent issues with the new version of the app, as they attempt to smooth things out. BlackVue completely overhauled the app switching around the basic UI and so on, which left some people a bit lost as well.

@sandeepakasun3470 Год назад

Thanks for kind consideration and time you spent address all my concerns. But, if I need to check live view in remote areas not home or not within the radius of my mobile as the hotspot to use, then I cannot go for live views or cloud base storage also gonna face limitations (storage is filled upto a limit and cannot hold extra clips even upon an event) due to lack of an internet connection to do both of them? Please advice. Thanks.

@blackboxmycar Год назад

@@sandeepakasun3470 No worries, I'll try to be more specific. When it comes to a mobile-hotspot, you're right, if you're hotspoting from your phone, then once you leave the range with the phone, the connection is lost. Still, there are dedicated hotspot devices that you can leave in the vehicle for this, which ill get the job done, implying they have power. I don't know much about the Australian Market for hotspots, but here in Norht America, the Verizon Mi-Fi hotspots are popular and a good reference. Another thing I actually did forget is that when it comes to remote connections/cloud, a lot of devices are continent specific, we strictly sell the North American variants of BlackVue models, if you want the Australian version I recommend going to BlackVue's direct site.

@chucko31499 Год назад

At what bitrate and resolution does it show live view on LTE?

@blackboxmycar Год назад

The resolution and bitrate is normally reduced when viewing live over LTE to 720p to allow for a seamless viewing experience. Rest assured the camera is still recording in the appropriate resolution, which can be checked afterwards.

@chucko31499 Год назад

@@blackboxmycar thanks - what about bitrate, assume that gets dropped as well?

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Apologies, it was implied. Yes, the bitrate will be reduced when live-viewing remotely.

What you guys think of the new blackvue app update? I think blackvue just drop the ball big time. This isn't the first time releasing a update and messing up the camera honestly I don't think I could even recommend them. Also can you guys bring back beat the heat?

@blackboxmycar Год назад

The new BlackVue app update was quite the overhaul, but there has been considerable negative feedback towards some of it's integrations, understandably so. Still, BlackVue is currently in the works with a new update to address these concerns and clean it up. Beat the Heat was a true classic, I'll definitely bring it up to the team, thanks for the feedback :).

@ruelmp504 Год назад

So if you don't have the cloud, you have to manually extract the footage? OR using the wifi connection?? How does it work?

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Rest assured that the camera is fully functional without the cloud feature, and plenty of users with this model don't set up the cloud feature. Without the cloud, the camera will still give off a basic wifi connection, allowing you to connect to the camera whenever you are nearby the vehicle.

@James-Orr Год назад

I have the LTE version and I can not get it connected to cloud or even wifi. I will probably have to send it back out of frustration.

Sorry to hear this has been frustrating for you, there are some involved steps that go into some of these rather advanced features. If it was purchased from us, please reach out to our support experts at info@blackboxmycar.com, who can directly help walk you through the process.

How will this dashcam do if my car is out in the sun on 110 degree days

@blackboxmycar Год назад

High heat is definitely a concern for dash cams, as this camera has a maximum operating temperature of 80°C. At that point, the camera will turn off automatically to preserve the health of the camera. Realistically, it's parking under the hot sun that causes the most risk for Dash Cams, as sitting there on your windshield directly under the hot sun can be detrimental. Consider models with heat resistance in-mind, such as the Thinkware U3000.

@blackboxmycar 8 месяцев назад

Yes, it will work globally. However the cloud feature is continent-based, and we only sell the North American version. You will need to get the appropriate version from BlackVue directly, or local sellers. Also heat will be a concern with your climate.

@Kal-el23 Год назад

What bs that they removed the ability to turn audio on and off with a swipe. I’d rather have that then locking the video. Or at least change the format button to a dedicated audio on/off which would be infinitely more useful. How often do you need to use a dedicated format button!?? Is there anyway to quickly turn the mic on/off?

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Thanks for the feedback, we'll pass it on to BlackVue. Currently the only way to turn on/off the mic for these new units is to change it in the settings of the camera. As for the dedicated format button, it can prove useful when reading unusual SD card types.

@Kal-el23 Год назад

@@blackboxmycar Thanks! The format button has its use, but my point is you probably won't be using it that often to warrant having a physical button. At the very least maybe there should be a multi function button, i.e. press once to toggle audio on/off and you hear a voice prompt telling you if it's been enabled/disabled, hold to format the card. Getting rid of the ability to use the touch to turn audio/on off is a major step backwards IMO.

@blackboxmycar Год назад

Very understandable feedback there, especially as the button was previously multipurpose. We'll pass it along to BlackVue.
