When to Choose BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus II
Drivers who want the best cloud connectivity and remote monitoring in a discreet, professional design
The BlackVue DR970X-2CH Plus II is the cloud connectivity champion. Live view, push alerts, and GPS tracking from anywhere make it ideal for fleet use or security-conscious drivers. The cylindrical design is the most discreet available, though the rear camera's 1080p trails the VIOFO's dual 4K.
Strengths
- BlackVue Cloud with live view, GPS tracking, and push alerts from anywhere
- Sleek cylindrical design is the most discreet dual-channel setup available
- Built-in Wi-Fi and optional LTE for remote access to footage
- Excellent parking mode with impact and motion detection
Limitations
- Front camera is 4K but rear is limited to 1080p — not true dual 4K
- Cloud features require BlackVue subscription plan
- Premium price of $464 for a front 4K + rear 1080p system
