  Product Features 

High-definition Video

The BlackVue uses high quality mega-pixel lenses, which produce clear and sharp 
images even at night.

Smartphone/PC Viewer 

The product comes with a PC viewer and applications for smartphones (running on 
Android). You can check images easily and customize various settings.

Normal Recording

The product makes a high-definition video recording of all the events while driving. 

Parking Mode Recording

The product automatically shifts to the parking mode. If there is no movement of 
a vehicle for a certain period of time, the device automatically shifts to the parking 
mode; and if the movement of a vehicle continues, the parking mode becomes 
automatically deactivated. In the parking mode, only if the camera detects motion 
or an impact occurs, recording gets started. (The product is equipped with motion 
detection technology developed by Pittasoft, which specializes in IP cameras.) 

Event (G-sensor) Recording

If the vehicle is given an impact, the G-sensor built in the BlackVue detects the 
impact and starts recording the event.

Sound Recording

The microphone built in the BlackVue records surrounding sounds while recording 
video.

Check Images on Various Devices

You can check recorded images on a variety of devices that can play MP4 files. 

Refined and Easy-to-Use Design

The BlackVue with its sleek and cylindrical design makes the vehicle's interior look 
even better. 

In addition, you can easily adjust the camera angle so that it can record the inside 
of the car.

Voice Guide

The voice guide provides information about the current status of the BlackVue.

GPS Driving Record 

 

  GPS models only (DR380G-HD, DR400G-HD, DR400G-HD II )  

The built-in high-sensitivity GPS creates a record of the speed and location of the 
vehicle at the time of recording. You can check the driving records via BlackVue 
software. (when connected to the Internet)
