## Description

Flagship 4K UHD dash camera now with an improved Sony STARVIS 2 sensor. Define expectations for dashcam video quality and storage efficiency, with industry-leading features and experience for complete confidence. With its 8.4MP SONY STARVIS 2 CMOS sensor, the DR970X-2CH PLUS captures 4K-2160P UHD video - four times as many pixels as Full HD; combined with true 4K 2-channel technology, BlackVue brings a whole new level to dash cams. 4K Sony STARVIS 2 sensor: The 4K Plus models all have an IMX678 sensor in the front camera, which provides improved sensitivity in low light conditions and a better dynamic range. NEW FAST LENS (f/1.7 Aperture) IN THE MAIN CAMERA The large aperture lens allows the 4K Plus main cameras to collect more light compared to their predecessors' f/2.8 lens, which in turn results in faster shutter speed, allowing the action to be frozen and minimized blur. Improved tuning of the image signal processor (ISP): The dynamic range and overall fidelity have been improved by expert optimisation of a new chipset across the board. Simply put, the image looks better, especially at night and in high-contrast scenes where most cameras struggle to preserve details in highlights and dark areas. Twice longer event buffer: The 4K Plus models feature a 10-second buffer up to 5 seconds for previous models. This means that the event video clips recorded or parked while driving contain ten seconds of action that occur before the triggering event. This includes detected motion and impact parking mode, manual events triggered via the touch sensor on the side of the camera, or shocks detected by the accelerometer while driving or parking. HEVC/H.265 Codec: The 4K Plus models feature the high-efficiency video coding compression algorithm as standard, while also giving users the ability to choose the widely supported AVC/H.264 codec. HEVC preserves details better and also allows recording at a higher bit rate of 60 megabits per second (lower settings also available).

Sony Sony Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor resolution: full HD (1920x1080) frame rate: 30 frames per second. Lens: 5 elements, f/2 diagonal viewing angle 131 degrees, max bitrate: 10 megabits per second
- H.264 and H.265 codec support The DR970X Plus series features H.265, also called High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), the leading standard for 4K recording and transmission. H.265 ensures best video quality. The widely compatible H.264 is also supported. Higher bit rate for uncompromising video quality When using HEVC, the 4K front camera can record at a high bit rate of up to 60 megabits per second, allowing the camera to deliver amazing artifact-free image quality even in the most complex fast-moving scenes.
- Speaker: Your dash cam tells you when it turns on, shuts down or detects errors. Accelerometer: detects shock to trigger event recording. Activates parking mode* with standing time for 5 minutes. Video files automatically marked: while driving, the built-in accelerometer (G-sensor) detects shocks and sudden speed changes. While you are parked, your BlackVue also detects visual movements around your vehicles (in motion + impact detection mode). Use the filters in the BlackVue app and viewer: BlackVue marks all videos (normal, event, parking mode, etc.), so 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)
