Blackvue DR970X-2CH 64GB | 4K/Full HD Dual-Channel Cloud Dashcam Built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, Parking Mode Voltage Monitor LTE and Mobile Hotspot via Optional Module

I bought a 2025 Toyota Crown and my first concern was the size of the front windshield and getting a camera small enough. I didn't want a bulky unit blocking my view and distracting me. I had this unit installed at the dealership. The manager there said they use Blackvue cameras on any units that there product doesn't work with because of it's reliability and quality. So I took their recommendations and went with this camera system. I have had it a month and after working out the initial operation of the camera with the Blackvu rep it has been easy to move around the app. I had questions about the camera being on wifi or the cloud and how to find the videos of my driving and parking. The app is super reliable, no glitches and fairly self explanatory I found outside of a couple initial questions about connectivity that their rep was great at assisting me with. I have a 64 gb SD card and it will record 4 hours of driving before it starts over again. If you want to see the cameras history just choose "cloud" , when your done choose "wifi" and the camera is ready to record. There is an audible recognition when you get in your car and you are informed verbally that the camera has started recording. From the pictures I posted you can see the compact size of the front and rear cameras. The camera is very sensitive to anything near or touching the car and will record immediately when it is parked. I take it to a hand wand car wash and it alerts when the exterior is touched with the high pressure water. The video that it takes is great, very clear. It connects easily and stays connected. I had it in the driveway for a few nights and could see a wide area front and back and across the street very clearly on the app. This camera is definitely a quality system. I'm glad it's on board. The only thing I might have changed was having it installed on the front passenger side rather than drivers. The camera also records inside the car and if I put my sun visor down it blocks it from recording inside. I'm not too concerned with that because I don't have kids in the car and make sure my visor is up when I park it, but something to think about if that's a concern for you.

Died after one year. Refuses to turn on and if it does it doesn't say on for long. Zero power input issues. If I hit it hard enough it turns on, seems like bad connection inside camera. Do not buy.

Great dashcam. I've been using it for almost two years now and it has been great. It has gone through two Arizona summers where the interior of the car can get over 130f. The video is clear and it is easy to connect with the Blackvue app. The ability to pull video just using my phone is great, and it gives me great peace of mind knowing that if I'm ever in an accident I'll have video proof of what happened.

This is my 3rd BlackVue, and each time i keep adding more capability...i cannot stress enough having a good quality dash camera as i have discovered... anyway, you dont want to find out after the accident occurs when this tech is available now and easy to install.

So far so good, install was simple, video quality is good. Had 1 shut down due to heat but in AZ that day is was 109 outside so in the parked car it was well above that. The app is ok, easy to find and download videos if needed.

Update: 11/16/24 as of now the front camera will cycle on and off if the back camera is plugged in. No matter how many times I’ve updated the firmware to resolve this issue it continues to have this problem. I’ve reached out to BlackVue for info and they believe it to be a fault rear camera, but I’m out of the warranty and replacement period. I've owned two BlackVue Dash cameras. One 900S and a 750S. The 750 eventually failed in the hardware after around 3-4 years of use. Unsure what it was but nothing would fix it. Seeing this be the newest one, I decided to shoot for it again. Price for 64GB at $389 was very reasonable for the 2CH. App usage for connectivity works seamlessly, better than my old ones for sure! If you are looking for something to protect you or others (in the event you are a witness) in the event of an accident this is a dash camera to consider!

The camera quality is one of the best out there, and the dual camera version was fairly painless to install, even in a large F150 truck. The app is pretty bad on Android, so know you have to fight it a bit at first. One problem I ran into on two units was the fuse blowing inside the cigarette lighter power cord. I tested them both before install, then after install they would stop working within a few tests that day. Eventually I checked the fuse (unscrew the front portion of the plug to access) and it's amazingly small amperage. I replaced with one from my local auto parts store and it's going great.

The camera frequently displays a "no SD card" error when parked in the sun, even with parking mode disabled. This issue renders the camera barely functional in sunny conditions. Surprisingly, the problem persists even during winter if the camera is exposed to direct sunlight, as it seems to overheat easily. That said, when the camera does function, its performance is OK.

I have no experience installing cameras like this, but found this to be very easy to install. I've been using it for over a month at this point and use the LTE feature with the optional attachment. It's completely bullet-proof and it works perfectly all the time. Reading some of these other reviews I can only wonder if they've done something wrong. I'm tempted to buy a second one of these for our other vehicle.

An excellent piece of kit. Well worth it, when bought on sale!! A must have with the amount of incompetent drivers on the road these days. Clear images day and night (when the windscreen in clean). Super easy to install, youtube it and save yourself an install fee, its so easy honestly!

Arrived before stated date. Have since installed and works great. Having both front and back cameras is fantastic, with great pictures quality.

Looks great, have not had it installed as yet, if it performs as well as the 650 i had in my wife's car (before i wrote it off by hitting a Kangaroo))Last accicdent was somewhere beteen 20 & 30 years ago) Had a couple of occassions with that one to take footage to the police who commented it was the best footage they had seen
