The BlackVue 490L-2CH is a 2 channel dashboard camera to capture events in front and behind your vehicle. Not only can you capture video whilst driving, you can also capture video when your vehicle is parked which uses motion detection to begin recording. This Blackvue includes a 3.5-inch touch screen LCD.

Full HD 1080p, (front and rear cameras) good quality videos in low light conditions are provided. The front and rear camera both record at 30 fps (frames per second). Starvis image sensor (front camera) provides image clarity day and night.

There is a 130 degree view angle on the front and rear cameras.

External GPS is an optional extra. With this option you can use the GPS technology to save your route (GPS location and speed) which can be viewed back on a windows or mac computer (it is possible to turn off speed recording). The BlackVue DR490L-2CH has been designed to be located on the front windscreen. If you are looking for a Blackvue that is discrete (without a screen) then please view the Blackvue dash cam range here.

If an impact or sudden change in speed is detected videos are marked accordingly enabling you to find the video(s) easily when you playback.

Parked mode automatically switches to parked mode when vehicle is parked and only records to memory card when motion or impact is detected. Furthermore the video buffer will record for a few seconds leading to the triggering event so you record before the event to see the full event. The DR490L-2CH must be hard wired into your vehicle for the parking mode to work.

The Blackvue 490L-2CH includes all the necessary accessories supporting parking mode. This includes the integrated voltage cut-off function on the device and professional installation cable. Using the includes cable the Blackvue 490 is connected to the vehicles battery via the fuse box whereby it will then detect the vehicle's ignition being turned on and off and automatically activate parking mode recording. Whilst the Blackvue will continually monitor the view when parked the video(s) will only be saved when motion is detected.

Loop recording and format-free technology

The BlackVue will record in a loop and overwrites older files when the memory is full. Files are saved and organised on the microSD in an efficient way reducing the need for formatting the card and prevents file corruption even after multiple write cycles.

The recorded videos are playable on most viewers.

The Blackvue includes microphone and speaker (for voice guidance).

Lane departure warning system

Advanced Driver Assistance System for Lane Departure Warning System is built-in to the Blackvue DR490L-2CH.

This product is a sophisticated electronic device which requires that you read, understand, and act upon the information given in the instruction manual (usually available via the above 'manual' link). You will need internet access and, in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations, regularly seek out and accept all firmware or software updates offered by the manufacturer. All GPS devices need to ‘see’ the satellites in the sky. Therefore you will need to know that your vehicle does not have glass that will block or impede the GPS signal.
