BlackVue DR970X Box-2CH IR Plus Dash Cam

The BlackVue DR970X Box-2CH IR Plus is a premium 2-channel dash cam system built for drivers who want high-quality front recording, interior cabin coverage, and a more secure way to protect their footage.

Unlike a traditional dash cam where the footage is stored inside the windshield-mounted camera, the DR970X Box system uses a separate main recording unit that can be hidden inside the vehicle. This gives the system a cleaner, more secure setup while helping protect the footage if someone tampers with the camera.

The front camera records in 4K Ultra HD using a Sony STARVIS 2 image sensor, giving you sharp forward-facing footage for everyday driving, incidents, and parking protection. The second camera is a Full HD infrared interior camera, designed to capture the cabin clearly even in low-light or nighttime conditions.

This makes the DR970X Box-2CH IR Plus a great option for rideshare drivers, fleet vehicles, work vehicles, shop vehicles, modified cars, or anyone who wants front-facing protection plus interior monitoring.

With built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, G-sensor, BlackVue Cloud compatibility, and Parking Mode support, this system gives you strong all-around protection while keeping the main recording unit tucked away and secure.

Why Choose the DR970X Box-2CH IR Plus?

The biggest advantage of the DR970X Box-2CH IR Plus is the secure Box-style design. The main recording unit can be mounted out of sight, while the cameras stay compact and discreet. This helps protect the footage and gives the setup a more professional, security-focused feel.

The 4K front camera is ideal for capturing road details, plates, signs, and incidents ahead of the vehicle. The infrared interior camera adds cabin visibility, making this a strong choice for vehicles that carry passengers, staff, tools, equipment, or inventory.

Why We Like It

The DR970X Box-2CH IR Plus is one of the more security-focused options in the BlackVue lineup.

The separate recording Box makes a lot of sense if you want the footage stored somewhere more discreet than the windshield camera. The 4K front camera gives you strong road coverage, while the infrared interior camera adds a useful layer of protection inside the vehicle.

For customers who do rideshare, drive a work vehicle, park outside, or simply want a cleaner and more secure dash cam setup, this is a very solid option.
