BlackVue DR970X-2CH 64GB | 4K/Full HD Dual-Channel Cloud rear Dashcam | Built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, Parking Mode Voltage Monitor | LTE and Mobile Hotspot via Optional LTE Module

I bought a 2025 Toyota Crown and my first concern was the size of the front windshield and getting a camera small enough. I didn't want a bulky unit blocking my view and distracting me.I had this unit installed at the dealership. The manager there said they use Blackvue cameras on any units that there product doesn't work with because of it's reliability and quality. So I took their recommendations and went with this camera system. I have had it a month and after working out the initial operation of the camera with the Blackvu rep it has been easy to move around the app. I had questions about the camera being on wifi or the cloud and how to find the videos of my driving and parking. The app is super reliable, no glitches and fairly self explanatory I found outside of a couple initial questions about connectivity that their rep was great at assisting me with. I have a 64 gb SD card and it will record 4 hours of driving before it starts over again. If you want to see the cameras history just choose "cloud" , when your done choose "wifi" and the camera is ready to record. There is an audible recognition when you get in your car and you are informed verbally that the camera has started recording.From the pictures I posted you can see the compact size of the front and rear cameras. The camera is very sensitive to anything near or touching the car and will record immediately when it is parked. I take it to a hand wand car wash and it alerts when the exterior is touched with the high pressure water. The video that it takes is great, very clear.It connects easily and stays connected. I had it in the driveway for a few nights and could see a wide area front and back and across the street very clearly on the app.This camera is definitely a quality system. I'm glad it's on board. The only thing I might have changed was having it installed on the front passenger side rather than drivers. The camera also records inside the car and if I put my sun visor down it blocks it from recording inside. I'm not too concerned with that because I don't have kids in the car and make sure my visor is up when I park it, but something to think about if that's a concern for you.

Love this camera. My dad has one and made me want to order it. The fact that it records the front and back makes me feel like I’m safe driving around

Installation was a punch in the nethers. The app is mildly functional when actually able to sync with the camera. My camera initially worked fine. Then I had issues with app connectivity and settings actually being pushed to the camera. What to do? No big deal, I’ll contact support! Blackvue support is a joke with no desire to problem solve. I did receive a lot of canned “sorry for the inconvenience” type replies though. So if you’re into that, this is the camera for you! For everyone else, try another brand. Stay away from this one.

Video quality is good for purpose. App is a bit funky as WiFi disconnects often but not critical in my use case.

I think the video quality is great and the functionality is also great. They provide everything needed making it easy to install and hardwire if desired.Only 3 stars as the stick pads don’t stick to jeep wrangler interior trim very like at all. Front camera is on windshield so no problem there but back camera needed to be in a place that would allow use with soft top or hard top. Back camera keeps unsticking from jeep trim.

The camera quality is one of the best out there, and the dual camera version was fairly painless to install, even in a large F150 truck.The app is pretty bad on Android, so know you have to fight it a bit at first.One problem I ran into on two units was the fuse blowing inside the cigarette lighter power cord. I tested them both before install, then after install they would stop working within a few tests that day. Eventually I checked the fuse (unscrew the front portion of the plug to access) and it's amazingly small amperage. I replaced with one from my local auto parts store and it's going great.

The camera frequently displays a "no SD card" error when parked in the sun, even with parking mode disabled. This issue renders the camera barely functional in sunny conditions.Surprisingly, the problem persists even during winter if the camera is exposed to direct sunlight, as it seems to overheat easily.That said, when the camera does function, its performance is OK.

Clear video image. WIFI connection works ok. No complain.
