What resolution does each camera record?
The front records 4K UHD at 30FPS and the rear records 2K QHD at 30FPS. Both use Sony STARVIS 2 sensors and support HDR.
How is the ELITE 9 different from the ELITE 10?
The ELITE 9 combines 4K front and 2K rear recording with HDR on both cameras. The ELITE 10 records 4K at both ends, with HDR on the front camera only.
Does this kit record inside the cabin?
No. It includes a front camera and a rear-window camera. Neither is a dedicated interior camera.
Is the hardwiring cable included?
Yes. This BlackboxMyCar kit includes a hardwiring cable, USB-C power cable and vehicle adapter. Fuse connections depend on your vehicle.
Can USB-C power support parking mode?
No. The BlackVue manual specifies driving power only through this connection. Use the included hardwiring cable or a compatible battery installation for parking recording.
Does Power Saving record before an impact?
No. It sleeps until an impact is detected and begins recording within about two seconds. For earlier activity, choose a mode with buffered recording.
What does the below-1mA figure describe?
It is standby consumption at 12V in Power Saving mode. Recording, wake-ups and connected accessories consume additional power.
How long does parking mode last?
Runtime depends on the available battery capacity, power source, recording mode, detected events, temperature and cutoff settings. A fixed number of days does not apply to every installation.
What is the difference between Motion Detection and Time Lapse?
Motion Detection buffers video and saves triggered activity. Time Lapse records one frame per second for a faster overview. Both remain active and use more power than impact-only standby.
Does it have built-in LTE?
No. Remote connectivity requires a compatible Wi-Fi hotspot or a separate CM100G LTE module with a supported SIM and data plan.
Can I use the app without a cellular plan?
Yes. Nearby Wi-Fi access supports settings, playback and downloads without cellular service. Remote Cloud features need internet at the camera and the relevant BlackVue service plan.
What memory-card capacity does it support?
It supports compatible BlackVue microSD cards up to 1TB. A microSD card is included in this kit; the maximum supported capacity is not a claim about the supplied card size.
How much recording history can a card hold?
At the default High setting, BlackVue estimates 2 hours 25 minutes on 64GB or 41 hours 15 minutes on 1TB for both cameras combined. These are examples; actual retention depends on quality settings and recording activity.
Does protecting an event file make it permanent?
No. Up to 50 event files can be protected from normal overwrite, but formatting deletes them. Download important recordings and keep a separate backup.
Can it keep recording in a hot parked vehicle?
Recording can stop when thermal protection activates. The specified operating range is −20°C to 65°C. Keep the installation within manufacturer guidance and allow the camera to cool if it shuts down.
What warranty does this new dash cam include?
This new BlackVue dash cam has a two-year warranty. Refurbished dash cams follow the separate 12-month policy.
The LTE module, SIM/data plan, CPL filter and battery pack are sold separately.
