Discover the 4K difference

 

 

ULTRA-CRISP VIDEOS, NOT JUST ON 4K MONITORS

 

4K in a dashcam is not a gimmick. It is a game-changer.

It is not about playing videos on a giant screen–although you could do that too. It’s about providing video proof.

A dashcam is only as good as its ability to capture crucial details–usually license plate numbers.

The 8-megapixel 4K UHD sensor does just that by capturing 4 times as many pixels as in Full HD.

And with its fast shutter speed, details are frozen in place.

Just pause and zoom in.

 

 

 

No need to sacrifice recording time

 

 

4 TIMES THE RESOLUTION BUT SAME RECORDING TIME!

 

With bigger resolution come bigger files…unless you have better compression.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) is the standard in 4K video broadcasting and streaming.

With HEVC, you get great-looking 4K videos but same recording time as a regular Full HD dashcam.

Who said you can’t have it all?

 

 

 

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Night Vision

 

 

​Unlike Enhanced Night Vision, the High Dynamic Range Night Vision improves both day and night video quality. 

​

At night, it brightens scenes while preserving highlights, which means you can read the license plates of cars and streetlights’ flare is reduced.

 

On bright days, it also works wonders to minimize lens flare and reflections when facing the sun. 

HDR Night Vision also produces richer and more accurate colors day and night. â€‹ Learn more >

Optimised File Management

 

 

​IMPROVED SECURITY AND RELIABILITY

•  Event Files Overwrite Protection:

Dashcams record in a loop, overwriting older files when the memory is full. BlackVue DR900S-2CH can prevent Event files (triggered manually or by impacts) overwriting. Up to fifty (50) files can be protected this way. You can choose to allow new Event files to overwrite past Event files, thus keeping the latest fifty.

• Adaptive Format-Free File Management 

This BlackVue-developed file system improves recording stability and requires less microSD card formatting.

• SD Card Failure Alert: your BlackVue detects as soon as the microSD card fails and warns you with a “Please check SD card” voice alert.
• ​High Capacity Memory Storage up to 256GB
• Scheduled Reboots (see Parking Mode section below)​

 

 

Built-in Impact and Motion Detection

 

MARK IMPORTANT FILES AND ENABLE PARKING MODE

While driving, your BlackVue detects impacts and sudden changes in speed.

​While parked, it also detects movements*.

​

Videos files are marked accordingly so that you can easily find the relevant ones in the BlackVue Viewer for Windows and Mac OS or the BlackVue App for Android and iOS.

• 3 different recording modes (Normal/ Event/ Parking)
• G-sensors (impact sensors) with individual 3-axis settings. 

(*) For Parking Mode recording, an external battery pack (Cellink Battery) is recommended.

 

 

 

Sleek Design & Control

 

MULTI-FUNCTION BUTTON CUSTOMISABLE PROXIMITY SENSOR

 

​BlackVue DR900S’s stealthy design incorporates easy access to useful functions.

• Proximity sensor: toggle audio recording ON and OFF by simply waving your hand in front of it. The sensor can also be configured to trigger Manual Event videos in the settings.
• Wi-Fi button: turn Wi-Fi ON/OFF (short press), reset your Wi-Fi password (hold until voice prompt, then short press) or format the microSD card (hold until voice prompt, and then hold again). All actions are confirmed by a voice prompt.​

 

 

Intuitive App & Viewer Software

 

​EASILY MANAGE THE VIDEO FILES

• Free BlackVue Viewer for both Windows and Mac OS
• Free BlackVue App for both iOS and Android OS
• With BlackVue App, it connects to your BlackVue via WiFi to access files and check realtime Live View for easy setup. 
• User friendly interface for easy configurations​

 

 

High Quality Coaxial Cable

 

• Connects front and rear camera
• Safer and faster data transmission comparing with USB cable
• Minimise noise for better image quality
• Default cable length of 6 meters is sufficient for most cars, vans, SUVs and MPVs. Optional cable length of 10 or 15 meters is available upon request if needed. â€‹

 

High Temperature Cut-off

 

HIGHER HEAT ENDURANCE​

• Endures higher operation temperature than earlier models
• Automatically cuts off the operation when temperature reaches 80 degree Celsius. 
• Protects the product from the harm of over temperature.

 

 

Native Parking Mode

 

Hardwiring cable included

DR900X Series can be hardwired to your vehicle’s fuse panel for Parking Mode, without requiring optional accessories. The dashcam will switch to Parking Mode automatically when vehicle ignition is turned off. Voltage cutoff and timer can be set in the BlackVue App.

 

Parking Mode accessories support

DR900X Series is also compatible with all BlackVue Parking Mode Kits and Batteries.

 

Disclaimer: Vehicle battery life and performance maybe affected which lead to premature failure especially with frequent short driving. Not compatible with some continental vehicles which may triggers dashboard error. Not recommended for most new vehicles under warranty due to agent restrictions.

 

 

 

Intelligent Parking Mode

 

 

Peace of mind with extra security when you are away from your car

​

​With Power Solutions, you can rest easy, knowing that your car is being monitored while you are away.

BlackVue automatically switches to Parking Mode to monitor your parked vehicle.

 

 

DR900X series supports two Parking Mode options:

 

Motion & Impact Detection Parking Mode detects both:

• ​​Motions recorded by the image sensor (marked “P” in the file list).
• Impacts detected by the accelerometer/G-sensor (marked “E” in the file list).

Choose detection regions to reduce the risk of triggering unwanted motion recordings due to trees swaying in the wind, far-away moving objects, etc.

 

Continuously records at 1FPS (one frame per second). Videos are played back at 30FPS. 

1-minute Time lapse Parking Mode video = 30 minutes real time coverage.

Cover a period of more than 54 hours on a 32GB microSD card front and rear at the highest (Extreme) quality setting.

When an impact is detected, the dashcam creates a buffered Event video.

 

Note: In Time Lapse mode, only the impact Event videos include buffering. In Motion & Impact Detection mode, both motion and impact videos include buffering.

Learn more about Time Lapse and Motion & Impact Detection here >.

 

Parking Mode Event Voice Notifications:

Upon exiting Parking Mode, your BlackVue tells you if Events were recorded when you were away from your car, so you can check right away the Event videos on the BlackVue App.

 

Push Notification:

​If your dashcam is connected to the Cloud Service, you will receive instant push notification to your smartphone if there's an impact detected when you're away from your car.

 

Super stealthy:

Completely turn off all LED indicators in Parking Mode. Only the recording LED indicator facing the interior of the vehicle will blink when motion or impact is detected.

 

 

Scheduled Reboot:

Schedule a daily automatic reboot (optional—by default at night) to minimize potential errors. Reboots happen only if the dashcam is in Parking Mode and not writing data to the microSD card. This means no Normal driving, Event, or Parking Mode recording can be interrupted by a scheduled reboot.
