BlackVue DR590X-1CH – Dash Camera

The DR590X-1CH is the next evolution of the DR590W series from BlackVue. With BlackVue’s smallest form-factor, smooth FullHD recording, direct Wi-Fi connectivity and an excellent selection of available add-ons, the DR590X-1CH is worth your consideration. Read on!

Parking Recording by Motion Detection is a feature that appeals to many BlackVue customers. Not only is the new DR590X compatible with the existing Power Magic Pro and Battery Packs, it also can be used with the included BlackVue 3-pin Hardwire Cable which is the most affordable way of using Parking Recording (relies on your car’s battery). All in all, regardless of what Parking Recording Add-on you choose, while the power lasts, the DR590X will trigger recording based on motion or impact detection. This footage will be stored on the memory card and can be reviewed later, just like CCTV.

In terms of size, it’s also one of the most attractive and smallest front dash cams available hence easy to install. Attach the front unit to the windshield behind the rearview mirror with the provided double-sided tape (located like this, on most cars it won’t be visible to the driver’s eye). Using the 4-metre power cable provided, guide the cable around your windscreen down to an available 12V Power Outlet. Once set, you can forget about it, knowing it will reliably record your drive.

Overall, this product features all of the functionality required from a mid-end dash cam while following the signature BlackVue design and build quality. Discreet yet advanced, this dash cam sitting in an affordable price range allowing for customization in terms of adding the optional GPS Receiver and compatible with multiple Parking Recording options should you require surveillance while parked.
