BlackVue DR590X-2CH Plus Dual Full HD Front & Rear Dash Cam

Full HD coverage ahead and behind, without a screen in the way.

The BlackVue DR590X-2CH Plus records 1080p at 30FPS from both a front and a rear camera, giving you a record of the road ahead and traffic behind. A Sony STARVIS front sensor helps in changing light, and the compact cylindrical design tucks neatly behind the mirror. Use the BlackVue app over local Wi-Fi to aim the cameras, change settings and download clips.

This package includes front and rear road cameras. It is not the infrared cabin-camera version. A hardwiring cable, a cigarette-lighter adapter, a BlackVue microSD card with card reader and a 2-year manufacturer warranty are included. The optional external GPS receiver is sold separately. This model has no screen, no Bluetooth pairing and no remote Cloud or LTE access.

Key features

• Dual Full HD recording: both cameras record 1920 × 1080 at 30FPS.
• Sony STARVIS front sensor: an approximately 2.1MP sensor with a 131° diagonal view. The rear camera uses a 2MP CMOS sensor with a 136.8° view.
• Hardwire cable included: connect to the fuse panel for automatic parking mode with an adjustable voltage cutoff and timer.
• Buffered parking recording: motion detection and the impact sensor save events, including footage from before the trigger.
• Local Wi-Fi app access: connect a nearby phone over 2.4GHz to check both views, adjust settings and download recordings.
• Status LEDs and voice prompts: lights and spoken announcements confirm recording status without a screen.

Parking recording and power

The included hardwiring cable connects to your vehicle's fuse panel. With battery protection enabled, the camera switches to parking mode when the ignition turns off. Set the voltage cutoff and timer in the BlackVue app to suit your battery and driving habits. Current firmware also offers a time-lapse parking option.

Continued monitoring depends on available power. Voltage protection reduces the risk of a drained battery but does not guarantee a start in every condition. A separate dash cam battery pack, sold separately, is another option. The supercapacitor only supports safe shutdown; it does not power overnight recording.

Storage and connectivity

Video saves as H.264 MP4 files to a microSD card. The camera supports 32GB to 512GB cards with current firmware, and both camera streams share the card. Loop recording overwrites ordinary footage, so copy important clips promptly.

Wi-Fi is a direct camera-to-phone connection. There is no remote live view, LTE or vehicle tracking. Add the optional BlackVue GPS receiver if you want speed and location recorded with your footage.

Setup and firmware notes

Mount both cameras and check their views in the app before finalizing the wiring. Route the supplied analog rear-camera cable without pinching it; cables from other BlackVue series are not substitutes. Keep cameras and cables clear of airbag deployment areas, and remove the lens films.

Use firmware for the DR590X-2CH Plus specifically, not the original DR590X. Back up important recordings before updating, then recheck the time zone, video settings and parking protection.
