INTELLIGENT PARKING MODE MONITORING

Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your car is under protection while you are away. BlackVue automatically switches to Parking Mode to monitor your parked vehicle. Thanks to video buffer, the few seconds leading to triggering events are also recorded. DR970X-2CH LTE Plus supports two Parking Mode options:

Region-based Motion & Impact Detection Mode

• Motions recorded by the image sensor.
• Impacts detected by the accelerometer/G-sensor.

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

Time lapse mode

• 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 62 hours on a single 64GB microSD card at the highest (Extreme) quality setting.
• When an impact is detected, the dashcam creates a buffered Event video.

 

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.

Scheduled Reboot:

Schedule a daily automatic reboot (optional—at night by default ) to minimize potential errors. Reboots happen only if the dashcam is in Parking Mode and not writing data to the microSD card.

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.
