Designed to minimize overheating
​Store the box unit in a cool location.With standard dash cams, the main processor is located in the front camera, typically exposed to the sun. 
In the DR970X Box Series dash cams, the processor is located in the box unit, which can be installed in a cooler location of your vehicle.
Less stress on the microSD cardBy keeping the box unit in a cool location, you can also minimize the stress on the microSD card, potentially increasing its lifespan.

Designed for Stealth

Built-in stealth
​Separate recording unit to store in a safe place.
Unlike conventional dash cams where the microSD card is located in the front camera, the "Box" recording unit can be installed in a secure and/or hidden location of the vehicle, such as the glove compartment, under a seat or anywhere else out of sight. 
Smaller front cameraThe front camera is 35% shorter and more compact than a regular front camera. This minimizes the likelihood of being spotted by a potential robber. 
This means in the event of a break-in, a thief would have a harder time either spotting the cameras or finding the Box unit that contains the videos

Event Files Overwrite Protection: 
dashcams record in a loop, overwriting older files when the memory is full. BlackVue can prevent Event files (triggered manually or by impacts) overwriting. Up to fifty (50) files can be protected this way. You can choose to allow new Event files to overwrite past Event files, thus keeping the latest fifty.
Adaptive Format-Free File Management: 
this BlackVue-developed file system improves recording stability and requires less microSD card formatting.
SD Card Failure Alert: 
​your BlackVue detects as soon as the microSD card fails and warns you with a “Please check SD card” voice alert.

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 Box Plus series supports two Parking Mode options:

Hardwiring Kit

Cellink Battery

​Note: In Time Lapse mode, only the impact Event videos include buffering. In Motion & Impact Detection mode, both motion and impact videos include buffering.

​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—at night by default ) to minimize potential errors. Reboots happen only if the dashcam is in Parking Mode and not writing data to the microSD card.  ​
