Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What SD card do I need for this dash cam?
A: Use a high-endurance microSD card designed for continuous recording. Standard cards wear out quickly in dash cams. CEN stocks suitable high-endurance cards, and the maximum supported capacity is listed in the Specification tab.
Q: Does this dash cam record while the car is parked?
A: Parking mode is listed in the Specification tab. Where supported, it requires constant power from either a hardwire kit or a dedicated dash cam battery pack, both of which CEN stocks.
Q: Do I need to hardwire the dash cam?
A: Not necessarily. All dash cams work from the 12V socket for drive recording. Hardwiring hides the cabling and enables parking mode, and CEN offers professional hardwire installation from our Nottingham premises.
Q: Will the footage be accepted by my insurer or the police?
A: Dash cam footage is widely used in insurance claims and can be submitted to most UK police forces through their online portals. Recording quality matters, so check the resolution in the Specification tab.
Q: Front only or front and rear - which should I choose?
A: A front camera covers the most common claim scenarios. A two-channel system adds rear coverage for rear-end collisions and tailgating evidence, which is where many disputed claims arise. Three-channel systems add an interior view, suited to taxi and fleet use.
Q: Does the BlackVue DR970X-1CH Plus II record in 4K?
A: Yes. It records 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) at 30fps through a STARVIS 2 image sensor with HDR.
Q: Is a memory card included with the DR970X-1CH Plus II?
A: Yes. A 64GB microSD card is included, and the camera supports microSD cards up to 512GB.
Q: Does the DR970X-1CH Plus II have built-in GPS and Wi-Fi?
A: Yes. GPS (GPS and GLONASS), dual-band 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are all built in. 4G LTE for BlackVue Cloud is available with an optional external LTE module.
