For a thief who wants to break into your car, seeing a surveillance camera installed on your windshield or dashboard can lead to two things. Number one, they would run away because they are aware they are being recorded. Two, they would continue to break in and just steal the dash cam so you would have no evidence of the crime at all - which we never want to happen.
This is one of the reasons BlackVue designed their dash cams simple and screenless. But taking it a step higher, BlackVue recently devised a cutting-edge solution providing full video coverage, while also being discreet from theft. The all-new BlackVue DR770X Box. (now discontinued)
In the Consumer Electronics Show or CES in January 2023, BlackVue announced the launch of the all-new BlackVue DR770X Box, (now discontinued) along with the DR970X series (now discontinued). While the DR970X series (now discontinued) are upgrades to the DR900X Plus (now discontinued) and DR750X Plus (now discontinued), the DR770 Box (now discontinued) is an entirely new product that security and discretion, BlackVue staples, in all new ways.
The BlackVue DR770X Box (now discontinued) is the newest addition to the company's triple-channel dash cam lineup. This new set includes Sony STARVIS cameras capable of capturing Full HD @ 60fps on the front, Full HD @ 30fps on the rear with 114° coverage and Interior IR with a full 180°.
If you drive a commercial vehicle, the DR770X Box (now discontinued) also has a Truck series with a waterproof external rear camera, yes, derived from the DR750X-3CH Truck Plus. But unlike this three-channel full HD dash cam, the all-new DR770X (now discontinued) comes with the Box.
With security on top of mind, BlackVue designed the DR770X Box (now discontinued) to be a separate unit from the cameras, carrying the BlackVue dash cam's processor, wifi source, and memory card - all essential when recording footage.
If you’re wondering how the full system works, the three cameras on the DR770X (now discontinued) are linked via coaxial video cable to the Box, which serves as the recording unit that can be safely stored in the glove compartment. This means the Box can be easily kept out of sight, preventing a thief from accessing it, while keeping your dash cam footage safe and private.
Beside the inherent security improvement provided by this configuration, the DR770X Box (now discontinued) allows a much smaller design for the front camera compared to a conventional dash cam, since all the components required to process and record the video feeds are embedded in the Box.
In fact, the DR770X (now discontinued)’s newly designed front camera, which includes a speaker and microphone, is only slightly larger than the interior infrared and rear cameras. Because of its size, it also helps minimize overheating risks of a dash cam sitting on your windshield in the sun.
Aside from keeping your video recordings safely stored, you also have additional protection with BlackVue’s advanced parking modes which keep an eye on your car 24/7.
Similar to other BlackVue models, the DR770X Box (now discontinued) also offers Loop Recording, Intelligent Parking Mode, Impact and Motion Detection, and Time Lapse Recording. It also has a built-in voltage monitoring system used to maximize usage and provide extra care for your battery.
While BlackVue cameras have always been the go-to brand for anyone that doesn’t want their camera system tampered with, the DR770X Box (now discontinued) takes it even further. Not only does it have the box head unit we’ve already discussed plenty, but the box itself has tamper-proof solutions as well, with the cabling ports and SD card being hidden inside the box, and locked behind it’s own specific key.
Even if an unsavoury sort finds the box, it’s all safely behind lock and key.
Here’s another security feature that the BlackVue DR770X Box (now discontinued) can offer. Using the CM100 LTE Module that provides 4G LTE connectivity, the DR770X Box (now discontinued) can easily connect to the BlackVue Cloud.
The BlackVue DR770X Box (now discontinued) camera, unlike many other BlackVue models, does not actually have a built-in GPS. Instead, an optional GPS will be needed for speed tracking, location data, and other GPS information.
Once connected, you can enjoy and protect yourself with BlackVue Cloud’s features such as Remote Live View, Instant Alert Push Notifications, Video Backup, Remote Video Playback, Real-Time GPS Tracking, Two-way Voice Communication and Live Event Upload.
Also unique to the DR770X Box (now discontinued) is the inclusion of a coin battery-powered, remote Bluetooth button that can be used to trigger Event recordings manually, as a way to easily bookmark important files.
The all-new DR770X Box (now discontinued) is the ideal security solution for high-risk drivers and anyone else who wants to avoid theft-attracting situations in the car.
