Enhanced Quality
Every DR970X dash cam runs on Sony’s next-gen STARVIS 2 sensor, capturing razor-sharp video day or night. With sensitivity that outperforms the human eye, it pulls clear shapes and true colors from the darkest corners, so whether you’re in a dim garage or staring down blinding headlights, you’ll always have rock-solid, courtroom-ready footage.
HDR Powered Night Clarity
The BlackVue DR970X II delivers enhanced nighttime performance with advanced HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology, designed to capture clear, balanced video in both bright sunlight and low-light conditions. Whether driving at night, through a dark tunnel, or facing rapid lighting changes like exiting a tunnel or hitting direct sunlight, HDR helps maintain strong contrast and detail without overexposure or dark shadows. This means clearer footage in any light, easier-to-read license plates, and key details captured when it counts.
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

Live Event Upload

Push Notifications

Remote Live View
Check on your vehicle from anywhere. Talk to the occupants remotely.
Optional External Battery
The B-130A Power Magic Ultra Battery is the latest and greatest way to power your BlackVue dash cam without tapping into your car’s battery. It keeps your dash cam running in parking mode or connected to the cloud—even when your engine’s off.
Parking Mode
Connecting the DR970X to your car via the included Hardwiring Power Cable or the optional B-130A Battery Pack battery pack allows for parking mode. 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.
Pre-Event Recording & Protection
Each 1-minute Event clip includes a 10-second pre-incident buffer to capture what led up to the moment, and the latest 50 clips are automatically protected from being overwritten—so you never lose critical footage.
Buffered Parking Mode
In Parking Mode, motion detection triggers a 1-minute buffered recording from the front or rear camera, while timelapse mode continuously records at 1 frame per second—compressing 30 minutes of real time into a 1-minute clip.
Power Saving Mode
The EDR970X PLUS II wakes up on impact then goes back to standby mode after 1 min recording (buffered recording not supported). Provides several days of protection. Ideal when leaving your vehicle unattended for extended periods of time.
More Features & Information
The DR970X 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 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 can also be powered by the BlackVue B-130A 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 (64gb - 1tb 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 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.
A Note on Memory Cards
All BlackVue dashcams include a BlackVue-branded 32GB-1TB 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.
