4K UHD Clarity with Sony STARVIS 2

The BlackVue DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II sets a new standard for video fidelity. The front camera is equipped with the 8MP Starvis 2 sensor (IMX678), which offers wider dynamic range and higher sensitivity than ever before. Combined with a larger aperture lens, it captures freezing-sharp 4K front footage that makes reading license plates easy, even in low light or at high speeds.

This dash cam is designed to master difficult lighting. The advanced HDR (High Dynamic Range) on the front and rear system (front only HDR) automatically balances bright highlights and dark shadows. Whether you are driving out of a dark tunnel into bright sunlight or navigating unlit roads, the DR970X-2CH ensures your evidence is always clear and perfectly exposed.

Built-In LTE for Instant Cloud Access

True to its name, the DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II features a LTE module integrated directly into the unit. Unlike other dash cams that require bulky external hotspots, this BlackVue dash camera only needs a Nano SIM card to get online. This "Cloud-Native" design means you can enjoy BlackVue Cloud features like Remote Live View and real-time tracking instantly.

Optimized for North American carriers, this Cloud dashcam keeps you connected to your vehicle 24/7. If an impact occurs while you are in Parking Mode, the BlackVue instantly sends a video clip to your phone via LTE connectivity. This gives you peace of mind knowing your car is always monitored by your dashcam.

Intelligent Parking Mode with Extended Buffer

Protect your vehicle around the clock with BlackVue's industry-leading Parking Mode. The DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II features a significantly improved buffer, now saving 10 seconds before an event occurs. This extended pre-roll ensures you capture the full context of an incident, not just the aftermath, utilizing the front and rear views.

The system offers versatile protection modes, including Motion Detection and Time Lapse. It monitors your vehicle's surroundings and automatically records suspicious activity. With the included hardwiring kit, the BlackVue DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II monitors your vehicle's voltage and shuts off automatically to prevent battery drain.

Looking for extended parking mode coverage?

For extended parking modes, it is recommended to use a dedicated battery pack such as the BlackVue B-130A Ultra Battery Battery Pack or the BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8.

Seamless Connectivity and App Control

Managing your dash camera has never been easier. The BlackVue App allows for seamless pairing, connecting your phone to the camera's Wi-Fi instantly. You can browse videos, change settings, or initiate manual recording in seconds. You can also turn your BlackVue into a router for your car.

The DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II acts as a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to five devices when a SIM card is inserted. This transforms your dashcam into a connectivity hub for your passengers. Whether you are using the LTE connection for the Cloud or the Wi-Fi for local playback, the experience is smooth and intuitive.

Faster Performance and 1TB Storage

The DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II is built for speed and capacity. It features a new processor that delivers a faster boot time, starting recording in approximately 14 seconds. This ensures you never miss an incident while leaving your driveway with your BlackVue dash cam.

Storage limitations are a thing of the past. This is one of the few dash cams on the market that supports up to a 1TB MicroSD card. Combined with efficient H.265 compression, you can store weeks of 4K UHD driving footage on your BlackVue MicroSD before the loop recording overwrites old files.

Built to Last. Backed with Confidence.

Every BlackVue DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II comes with an extended 2-year Manufacturer Warranty, giving you double the coverage and twice the peace of mind.

It’s our commitment to reliability, so you can drive knowing your investment is protected—mile after mile.

FAQs

What is the difference between the DR970X-2CH LTE Plus and the DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II?

The DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II is a significant upgrade. It features the new Sony STARVIS 2 sensor for better dynamic range, a brighter lens, faster boot-up times, and support for 1TB cards. The previous model (LTE Plus) used the older sensor. The LTE Plus II also has a longer buffer for Parking Mode.

Do I need a separate hotspot for Cloud features?

No. The DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II has built-in LTE. You simply need to insert a compatible Nano SIM card with a data plan into the camera's SIM slot to activate BlackVue Cloud features like Remote Live View and push notifications.

Which SIM cards work with this BlackVue?

This is the North American version, compatible with carriers like T-Mobile, Rogers, Telus, and Bell. It supports LTE Bands B2, B4, and B12. Verizon is not typically supported. This built-in capability makes it the easiest 4K Cloud dashcam to set up.

Does this camera record when I am parked?

Yes. The BlackVue comes with a hardwiring kit included. When installed, it enables Parking Mode to monitor your vehicle. It will record impacts and motion using the front and rear cameras, and automatically shut down if your car battery voltage gets too low.

Is the rear camera also 4K UHD?

No. The 4K UHD front camera records using the STARVIS 2 sensor, while the rear camera records in Full HD (1080p) using a standard Sony STARVIS sensor. This balance ensures premium front clarity where it matters most while keeping file sizes manageable on your MicroSD card.

Can I view the footage remotely?

Yes, if you have an active SIM card installed. You can open the BlackVue App from anywhere to see a live view of your car, receive alerts if someone hits your parked vehicle, and even download video clips to your phone over the LTE network.

Does it come with a memory card?

Yes, a 64GB BlackVue card is included in the box so you can start recording right away. However, for 4K recording, we recommend upgrading to a larger card (up to 1TB) to store more footage from your DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II.

Looks Like new

Looks Like new. Packaged like new. Awesome warranty,. My 3rd Blackvue dash cam, started with dr650 2ch, then 900 2ch and now the 970x lte refurbished.

Thanks for the review, William! We really appreciate your continued support across multiple BlackVue upgrades. Glad to hear your refurbished DR970X LTE arrived like new and met expectations.

What an awesome 4K resolution! My third BlackVue

What an awesome 4K resolution! My third BlackVue.. an upgrade from my 750XL LTE! ❤️

Thanks for the review, Roseller! We really appreciate your continued support across multiple BlackVue models. Glad to hear the DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II has been a great upgrade and that you’re enjoying the 4K resolution.

Install was the most difficult part if you plan to DIY it.
The front camera captures amazing video. Low light or otherwise. It’s a little large because of the built-in LTE. If you need it, you know you need it.

The back camera is perfectly suitable for parking events, motion detection, and such. It’s not the most phenomenal image, but it will let you make out a license plate that bumps you. Or clearly show you anyone too close to your car.

I like the security light that faces outside. It’s bright enough to be noticed from a distance. My Mom noticed it right away from about 150 feet away. It’s small but mighty!

I am happy with this unit and feel like I can trust the company’s staying power. The space for always-on security units is limited. I had OwlCam, while they were around. It burned badly. So I overly researched BlackVue.

I feel good in purchasing from them. Great product, working app, and fast downloads of event clips. Granular settings make it easy to fine tune it.

Quality and reliability!

Very happy with my purchase of the BlackVue DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II from BlackboxMycar. Fast delivery and great service! Haven’t installed the dashcam yet, but it feels reliable and well-built. Highly recommend!

Thanks for your review, Shah! We’re glad to hear you had a great experience with delivery and service, and we’re confident you’ll enjoy the DR970X-2CH LTE Plus II once it’s installed.

Works with T-Mobile Prepaid SIM cards or BlackVue SIM cards

This device is GREAT ! In my experience, this device will only work with a T-Mobile "Prepaid" SIM card, or a BlackVue SIM card in North America. I am unaware if an AT&T SIM card will work with this device. Save yourself some trouble and do your research to see which SIM cards will work with your device, depending upon your location. I followed the cloud connection steps in the BV App, which told me that my setup was complete. However, if the cloud icon does not turn blue in the BV app next to the camera name, then your camera is not connected to the cloud. My only option was to use the BlackVue Sim card and connect to the BlackVue cloud. The front camera is larger than I expected. Installation is pretty straightforward. I opted to install the BlackVue battery pack under the drivers seat. Search YouTube for installation guides for your specific vehicle. You may need to remove the vehicle camera shroud behind the rearview mirror in order to fish the wires behind the front headliner. The cameras work very well. I had to adjust the settings in order to obtain optimal performance. BBMC stands behind their products. Troubleshoot with them first if you have a problem, then contact BlackVue Warranty returns are pretty easy. Be sure to ask for a return label if shipping to Canada. You will have to pay for the return label which includes customs forms. This may have changed recently, so be sure to check with BBMC before you return anything. They have recently added US return locations, so you don't have the hassle of requesting a label from BBMC and dealing with U.S. Customs.

Good dashcam

Everything works well, but the LTE SIM setup can be a bit challenging. The SIM slot should be relocated to eliminate the need to remove the power and rear camera cable to access it.

Perfect solution for peace of mind

I've never felt safer than with this camera installed. It helped me not just for accidents but for avoiding them too by reviewing footage and seeing patterns I could avoid. Setting up wasn’t too bad, but the phone app could be better optimized. Delighted with this way more than past cameras!

Great for the long haul

Drove across country last month and this cam captured everything beautifully. Perfectly records all those beautiful landscapes along the way too! Hooking it up to get it to work with the LTE feature took a while as the instructions were a bit unclear, but I called support and they helped out a lot.

Customer service isn’t good

I called to activate the sim card that came with my camera, the camera worked fine for like two days then it wouldn’t let me view it live. Did the chat thing on the website and the representative is saying I need to pay for a separate plan apart from the cloud plan, for the SIM card BlackVue provided with the camera… I looked everywhere on the website and no where does it say an additional plan has to be paid monthly in order to use the live view feature with the smart plan for cloud.

Worth every cent

I was initially hesitant due to the price but after a friend's recommendation, I went for it. The image quality is unlike anything I've seen - it's like watching a movie. After being rear-ended, I saw the footage clearly showed the other driver's face and license plate. The app could be better, a bit clunky but manageable. Overall, I feel a lot safer knowing I have it running.

Crystal clear video saved me $$$

After monthes of research, I finally decided to get this dashcam and boy am I glad I did! Last week some guy tried to claim I hit him in a parking lot but the 4K footage showed him backing into ME! The video quality is insane - you can literally read license plates from far away. Had a small issue connecting to wifi at first but figured it out. Definately worth every penny and saved me from a insurance nightmare!

Feels like a premium guardian

Hardware quality is top-notch and the 4K video is head and shoulders above my last cam. Hasn't let me down on long routes—even overseas. It’s been invaluable for peace of mind, both on and off the road. Wish the supporting hardware came with more detailed instructions.

Makes driving safer

Simply put, I don’t think I'd drive without it anymore. More than once, bad drivers have tried to swerve into my lane and the footage clearly shows who’s at fault. The app tends to be a bit laggy though when trying to quickly download a long video in HD. Other than that, top product.

LTE is a game changer but expensive

Been using this cam for about 3 months now and its pretty amazing tbh. The cloud features are super conveniant - my wife can check on the car whenever she wants which gives her peace of mind. Installation took longer then expected (about 2 hrs) but youtube videos helped alot. Only complaint is the monthly subsription fee for cloud storage seems abit steep. Still giving 5 stars cause the features are worth it if u can afford it. Also the parking mode has already caught someone door dinging me!

Cloud storage feature rocks

Tbh I was skeptical about needing cloud storage, but it's saved my footage so many times. I’ve got every trip uploaded so I don’t have to worry about space or losing a critical clip. It does eat data quickly though, so prepare your plan accordingly. That's a heads up I'd give to anyone considering this purchase.

Night vision is unbelievable!

I bought this dash cam a few months ago, mostly for night driving on my Uber shifts. The Sony STARVIS sensor is legit amazing. I can see everything, even in near-total darkness. Wish I had this sooner; my last cam was rubbish at night. Took some fiddling to get the settings just right, but once it's set up, you can forget about it. Literally a life-changer for nighttime driving safety.

Finally feel confident while driving

The dashcam eases the burden of proof in case of any issues. LTE feature is a bit of a mixed bag due to coverage variances but when it works, it's fantastic. You know you’ve made a good purchase when it stops becoming the thing that looms, and instead just works quietly in the background.

Video clarity that impresses

It’s incredibly reassuring knowing any potentially challenging scenario is stored in ultra-clear 4K. Impressed by low-light performance and parking mode is my new favorite feature. Set it and totally be at peace missing no critical moments! Highly recommend for serious coverage needs.

Protection while I'm away

With the motion-detecting parking mode, it caught a would-be thief snooping around my vehicle at night. The police said the quality of the recordings was exactly what they needed. It was a game-changer for my peace of mind knowing there's always something watching over my car when I can't be there.

Reliability plus

This dash cam has stood up to rigorous use, from scorching summer days to freezing winter nights. Connectivity to the cloud could be more consistent, but the hardware never fails. Love the parking mode feature that keeps capturing even when I’m away. Plus, it’s caught a couple of suspicious incidents around my car recently. Feels like having an extra set of eyes!

Tireless watchdog for my car

Recently upgraded to this model and have been nothing but impressed. LTE gives constant updates and alerts for anything unusual. The app isn't the most polished, but it is functional for basic reviewing. Have peace of mind no matter where I park.

Carmen J.
The best defense

Had a false allegation twice before finally getting this dash cam. The dash cam cleared things up straight away. Got both the front and rear cams, super helpful to cover all bases. It is a bit complex for anyone who isn’t tech-savvy though, especially the initial setup process.

Makes dealing with insurance so much easier

Had someone run a light right in front of me, and normally that'd be a back-and-forth with insurance. The footage from my cam was so clear, it was settled in days. The 4K quality is perfect for seeing those tiny details. I did have to fiddle with the angles a bit to make sure nothing was blocking the view, but once it was in place it was a dream. If only it wasn't so pricey. Still, no regrets!

A
Amy L.
Too good to be true

I really didn't believe the hype until I set it up and saw it in action. No more he-said, she-said situations when someone cuts you off or hits your car. The app could be a little more intuitive though. I've only had a few minor connectivity issues, mostly when pairing new devices. Other than that, absolutely a must-have for anyone serious about driving safety!

Luke E.
Fantastic gadget with minor tweaks needed

The ease of use on the dash cam itself is wonderful, but like others noted, the app has minor bugs. I agree that in certain spots the connectivity could stand to improve. But for anyone considering a powerful tool against roadway claims, this is it.
