This is a two channel dashcam with 4K front (sony starvis 2) and 1080p rear (sony starvis 1). This dual channel dashcam uses a separate recording box for the main processing power, which means it should run cooler and not risk overheating in hot summer weather. That plus super capacitors and a locking system makes this one of the more reliable dashcams that I've ever tested.
I personally love this design style and think there should be more cameras available with it. Because it is not going to run as hot, micro SD cards should last longer too!

I'd like to see this style of dashcams expanded to using SSDs, to improve reliability + longevity and to having the option to install 2 4K cams with the Starvis 2 sensor.

Thank you for the review. The switch from the camera processing the video to a separate device is very interesting.

I'm definitely keen to see more companies using this design style. There was one waaay back in the day who was originally unsuccessful, but it makes so much sense. The main boxes could even have active cooling fans for more channels or higher resolution!

@DrekiTech ive been screaming this for years. Literally mocking ytubers for not pushing this. Was even thinking about becoming a youtuber myself. Everybody is caught up on the "dashcam" format when it should be a cctv on wheels like Teslas sentry system. Battery tech is there. Can be interchangeable like cordless tools for long parking times. It's sad but Blackvue Box is old tech being slowly reintroduced as the future. Hilarious.

And its worth saying, most importantly, that the camera that less likely to be stolen and but still get video evidence ,is the Blackvue Box series. Given the box is hidden and secured. Every other camera is at the mercy of a thief. And thats the point to push.

Nice review. Imagine what a Viofo ,Mai, or Vantrue version of the Blackvue Box series would look like. You couldn't have said it better with, for the hardware to be separate from the cameras, the unit should be alot more better, HDR included.

and now the million dollar question! does it have a button for me to push if i manually wants to save a clip of something that i saw during my drive! or do you still have to "punch" the blackvue cameras to get them to trigger an collision event ??

Blackvue sells a Bluetooth button to lock footage

I just got mine and I can confirm it does come with the emergency button. In fact, mine came with 2 of them. One inside the package and another one standalone on it’s own package.

Is there a way to add a 3rd camera for interior view?

If only Vantrue made a version of there F1 motorcycle series for cars, right.

I'm having noise issues with the 970x Box plus. Noise is mainly present while in parking mode and can be heard in recorded videos and while live viewing. Noise is only really present during daylight hours. However, if I switch to time lapse mode, the noise sounds like a helicopter or lawnmower and can be heard at any time of the day. I've explored Blackvue Live and have found other Box unit (770x Box and 970x Box) cameras with the same issue by snooping on publicly shared units. I put together a 10 video playlist where people can hear what I'm talking about. The last video in the playlist is where I set it to time lapse mode. kzfaq.info/sun/PL3DeJi40nY5f897trtLTXioAWa2j8dpL8&si=SLi5ezJDJmVOEU1g

Do you mean video noise or noise in the audio? I didn't notice any audio issues with my vehicle but it is pretty quiet compared to some cars.

@@DrekiTech Audio noise. Guess you didn't see the link that I posted in the original comment. The link is to a playlist with 10 videos where you can hear it. Please try the link in the first comment I sent. KZfaq won't let me post the link again for some reason. My comment gets deleted whenever I try to post the link again so please check the first comment.

Have you tried to change the place of the box ? This can happen if some electronics in the dashboard are inducing the noise... You can also test it out of the car to see if that disappears...if not => warranty it directly.

why is the speed of the vehicle not being shown? It displays "- - -- km/h" in the lower left.

I didn't have the GPS cable plugged in for much of my testing. I'm waiting to get it professionally installed first :)

Then I also find it fascinating that only one company have figured out 30yr + CCTV technology would be useful in a car. Laughable.

@DrekiTech 2 ай бұрын

Some other smaller companies have tried it unsuccessfully. But it makes so much sense! Like viofo already has excellent remote rear cameras. Why not just use two of those one front one back.

@@DrekiTech ive been literally harassing there IGs to do the right thing. I mean, there's only 2 type of Dashcams out there. Blackvue Box series VS The rest. With Viofo resources, they can do this quite quickly. And with all the open source dvr software out there, they can have a cloud up and running in no time.
