The new BlackVue DR970X Box Plus 4K UHD dash cams cames with features such as Sony STARVIS 2, Parking Mode, Dual-Band WiFi, BlackVue Cloud connectivity, all in a tamper-proof box.
- Front 4K & Rear Full HD (Box Plus)
- Front 4K & Interior IR (Box IR Plus)
- Built-in GPS + WiFi
- Cloud Connectivity
- Tamper-proof System
Both Box Plus models feature a 4K UHD front camera equipped with a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor. The DR970X Box-2CH Plus has a regular rear camera and the DR970X Box-2CH IR Plus instead features an infrared driver-facing camera with 180-degree diagonal view angle. Both rear and interior cameras use a Full HD Sony STARVIS sensor.
New key features
New 4K Sony STARVIS 2 sensor: the 4K Plus models all feature an IMX678 sensor in the front camera, which delivers improved sensitivity in low light and better dynamic range.
New fast (f/1.7 aperture) lens in the main camera: the large aperture lens allows the 4K Plus main cameras to gather more light which in turn allows using faster shutter speed, to freeze the action and minimize blur.
Improved image signal processor (ISP) tuning: the dynamic range and overall fidelity has been improved across the board through expert optimization of a new chipset. In simple terms: the image looks better, especially at night and in high-contrast scenes where most cameras struggle to preserve detail in highlights and dark areas.
Twice longer Event buffer: the 4K Plus models feature a 10-second buffer up from 5 seconds for previous models. This means the Event video clips recorded while driving or parked include ten seconds of action occurring before the triggering event. Those include detected motion in Motion & Impact Parking Mode, Manual Events triggered via the touch sensor on the side of the camera, or impact sensed by the accelerometer while driving or parked.
HEVC/H.265 codec: the 4K Plus models feature the High-Efficiency Video Coding compression algorithm as the default, while also giving users the ability to choose the more widely supported AVC/H.264 codec. HEVC preserves details better and also allows recording at a higher bitrate of 60 Megabits per second (lower settings also available).
Secure by design
The Box models feature a lockable cover on the box unit and hex screws on the camera mounts to hold for added security. However, what makes the Box models more secure than others is their modular design itself. By having a recording unit separate from the cameras, it is possible to have it installed in a safe or hidden location of your vehicle.
This means thieves who would spot the cameras might still have a hard time accessing the recording box that contains the video evidence.
Enhanced stealth
Having the main chipset in the recording box and away from the front camera means the front camera can be further miniaturized. As a result, the front camera is almost as small as the rear camera. It still includes a speaker and microphone, as well as the accelerometer (G-sensor), so that it can detect impacts the same way a conventional dash cam would.
