BlackVue - DR970X-2CH IR Plus

BlackVue for my wife and my car I you uber , I used code “Weflyhere” to save a bit since there on the pricey side. https://blackvue.com/ref/296/

As a dr970x plus owner i can help you rule out blackvue. Do not buy. The video quality is not worthy of its price. I love the form factor though. App is alright

I installed the Blackvue DR970X-Plus with front and back cameras... Took me the best part of the afternoon, but I took my time and made sure everything was done the way I wanted to do it. Powered during driving and battery packs for when parked - it runs 24/7 - 365. It's also connected via sim card to the cloud so I have real-time access via the app for monitoring and/or reviewing footage, etc. Would highly recommend.

I went with a Blackvue 970X-2CH Box. Liked that this unit had a control module that you can mount under the dash or other location. For me I wanted 2 cameras, parking mode, and high quality video in as small of a package as possible. This met that need. I have the Mountains 2 Metal attic shelf and was able to mount the rear camera to that. (I’ve got a soft top)

Head over to r/dashcam for some good recommendations.  The BlackVue DR970X-2CH was what we went with.

I had a Blackvue DR970x-2CH professionally installed. The front cam is not visible from the driver's seat (it's hidden from view by the rear view mirror). I can see the rear cam in the rear view mirror but it's not problematic at all. All interaction with the cam is done via the app while I'm in the car (I didn't opt for the LTE option which allows for remote access).

I had a Blackvue DR970x 2CH professionally installed and I've had no problems. I only care about recording when I'm driving so I have it configured to shut down when the car is off, so no issues with draining the battery. I've checked in once in a while to make sure it's actually recording but so far I've had no need to download video.

I just upgraded from the 900x 2ch to the 970x 2ch earlier this year. BlackVue is the best premium dashcam imo.

I just got the Blackvue dr970x 2 ch installed yesterday. Hardwired to the 12v battery for parking mode. https://preview.redd.it/8655rx0uhkme1.jpeg?width=1206&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c45a2daa517c4b81bc7e83e1cdb8fa00126a210d

I've got a Blackvue DR970x-2ch. The newer version of it is the DR979x-2ch Plus II. This has the Sony Starvis 2 sensor like recommended in other posts. They're very reliable cameras since they don't have batteries in them. Dash Cams with batteries stand a higher chance of exploding in the heat of a parked car. Make sure you use a high endurance micro sd card since the camera deletes the oldest videos as time goes by. The card will have a ton of reads and writes so the basic cards won't cut it. You set the cameras up with your phone and the images from the cameras will show on the screen. This is how you'll align the cameras to make sure they get the best view. Check the videos on the card or the live feed from the cameras from time to time to make sure everything is still working.

I run a viofo a229 pro in my car, my mom's car, and my dad's car, and a blackvue DR970X-2CH in my wife's car. Both are great. Personally I like the app on the viofo a little better, but I like the camera design on the blackvue better. Both have great image quality, with the edge going to the blackvue, but only slightly. Install was about the same on both. I ran the cables in such a way that they were hidden almost entirely. The blackvue rear camera cable connector being smaller, made that task much much easier due to the path I took. How much are you willing to spend? Personally, I would go for something a little higher quality, since generally speaking, you get what you pay for. The viofo goes on sale pretty regularly, so it might not be a bad place to start.
