Couldn't load pickup availability
Over the years I've captured everything on dashcams from track days, to near-miss accidents, and security footage. Thankfully I've never been in a crash, but if I ever need footage from an impact I know I can rely on BlackVue to deliver it with crisp audio and video quality, as I've personally had one for over 5 years!!
Whenever I need footage I just open up my app and download what I need. I've even used the Live feature to view my car's surroundings from anywhere as I have it connected to various Wi-Fi setups at my home and the store.

The Best Connected Dash Cam Solution for Stealth, Security, Heat Mitigation and Image Quality
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 supports two Parking Mode options:
Motion & Impact Detection mode
Motion & Impact Detection Parking Mode detects both:
- Motions recorded by the image sensor (marked “P” in the file list).
- Impacts detected by the accelerometer/G-sensor (marked “E” in the file list).
Choose detection regions to reduce the risk of triggering unwanted motion recordings due to trees swaying in the wind, far-away moving objects, etc.
Time lapse mode
Continuously records at 1FPS (one frame per second). Videos are played back at 30FPS.
1-minute Time lapse Parking Mode video = 30 minutes real time coverage.
Cover a period of more than 62 hours on a single 64GB microSD card at the highest (Extreme) quality setting.
When an impact is detected, the dashcam creates a buffered Event video.
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.
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.
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.

Customer Reviews
We recently had a winter storm and I expected that any dashcam was a writeoff; the snow was still flying and conditions were rough. Imagine my surprise, when I looked back in the app to see that the dashcam was still able to clearly record! Below is some of the footage I was able to capture:
BlackVue DR970X BOX PLUS FRONT Snow Day 1

BlackVue DR970X BOX PLUS REAR Snow Day 1

BlackVue DR970X BOX PLUS FRONT SNOW DAY 2
https://youtu.be/bq2wjFxr_zI
BlackVue DR970X BOX PLUS REAR SNOW DAY 2

The quality of the camera is also really good in nightime driving situations as well.
Installation was straightforward, no fuss at all. I do not notice it at all while driving. The app itself is good, I just wish there were more features available to the free user when it comes to cloud features. Accessing through an SD card and PC is also a breeze. Very happy 2 months in with this dashcam.
