What to look for

Six things that matter.

Channels

1CH records the front. 2CH adds a rear camera, and 3CH adds an interior or driver-facing camera as well.

Video quality

Look for Full HD 60fps front cameras with Sony STARVIS sensors for clear footage, including in low light.

Parking mode

Hardwire your dashcam with battery discharge prevention, or add a parking-mode battery such as the B-130A.

GPS & Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi and a G-sensor are built into every model. GPS is built into the DR770X range and optional on the DR590X.

Cloud & fleets

DR770X models are compatible with BlackVue Cloud and FLEETA, for staying connected and managing fleets.
