"i have had the BlackVue DR970x Plus which proved bulletproof during the hottest Summer on record last year. my credit cards and ID’s all had to be replaced because they melted and warped, but the BlackVue keeps running without issues."


"it’s been over 110 degrees for the past 2 weeks where i live and it has not flinched. ... my black interior will literally melt my credit cards if i forget my wallet in the car during the day, but the camera does not seem affected at all."


"i can say after the late June and early July we had, the heat has not affected it at all."

"Last month got rear ended by person on the phone. ... I downloaded the event clip from the mobile app and was able to show the video to the police on the spot. ... The other driver got a ticket for using the phone."


"It's a camera that you fit and forget until you need it then you just use the app on your phone to download the videos immediately."


"Impacts, hard breaking, etc gets auto-stored to the the SD card that is immediately available via the app."

"I bought a cheap one on Amazon thinking it was enough. It failed, when I needed it the most. So I invested in a $700 CDN one. Blackvue DR970x Front and Rear camera"

"i was able to mount it in a manner where i don’t even know it’s there."


"because of the size of the plastic shroud behind the camera. My previous VIOFO camera would have blocked too much of the view."

"My DR970X Plus from JAN 2025 through JAN 2025 does NOT have HDR and is being returned immediately. ... HDR is not a fad, passing trend, or conspiracy pushed by Alex Jones. It the most basic item a camera must have to be useful at capturing details like license plates. ... Without HDR you might as well replace the recorded footage with the Windows 98 Bezier screensaver and extra-long mouse cursor trails. ... Recording a grainy blur in 4K is a high-quality grainy blur but it's still a grainy blur."


"No such animal. ... Blackvue DR970x plus box will catch some"

"The app. It's a complete pain in the ass to view any footage ... it won't update the firmware because the dashcam connects to my phone via wifi and if it's connected via wifi, there's not any actual Internet access from the cellular signal so it can never update 🤣 what a joke."


"The app is not very good and you have to use the app to point the camera as there is no screen on the camera itself (ie. always tied to the app unless you want to take out the memory card each time to verify where the camera is pointing."


"Yes, but not for parking event notification since the cell connection powers down unless there is another wifi network present it can connect to."

"The video quality is not worthy of its price."


"can assure you it’s not worth it for 500. ... that’s kind of the expensive side."


"especially after install, it was more than i wanted to spend."

"the only thing i lack, is that i can’t monitor the feed if i am away from a familiar wifi signal. ... if i am other places, i do not have that ability. ... but if i witness something, that did not impact the car, i have to wait until i have wifi to search and download."


"Yes, but not for parking event notification since the cell connection powers down unless there is another wifi network present it can connect to."


"What? ... If not you need an LTE model and to pay someone for cell data"

"Most importantly if it’s super hot outside while the car is off? the dashcam seems to overheat and doesn’t turn on until about 5–10min after starting the car."
