Overview
Watching the road from behind the mirror, this BlackVue front camera records QHD video through a bright lens and a low-light sensor, with HDR to tame glare. Hardwired, it guards the parked car for days on very little power and saves the seconds before each bump.
Multi-day parking coverage with pre-event recording is what sets it apart, so a hit while parked is caught from the start. It records the front only and at a lower resolution than the flagship models.
Who it's for
Drivers who street park for days get pre-event footage and time lapse without draining the battery. Rideshare drivers and anyone worried about rear impacts will need a multi-channel camera.
Pros and cons
- Very low standby power draw
- Saves footage before each event
- Bright lens for night clips
- Hardwire cable included
- Front camera only
- Parking mode needs hardwiring
- Cloud needs a data connection
- Lower resolution than flagship models
Performance notes
Night clarity comes from the low-light sensor and the bright aperture letting in more light, while HDR evens out headlights and shadows. In parking mode the camera idles on very little current and starts capturing within about a second of an impact, holding the preceding seconds in a buffer.
