Blackvue DR590-1CH Single Camera Dash Cam

Hi, Do you have the DR590 2 channel? Thanks.

The DR590-2CH is not sold by Blackvue in Australia, only the 1CH variant is available. The DR650S-2CH and DR750S-2CH are the only 2 channel models in Australia.

Please contact us if you require pricing or other details.

Is it wifi compatible with iPhone 7 in case your in a car crash and you can s e who is a fault and if you or the other petty is speeding and at fault .

The Blackvue DR650S is compatible with ANY Apple or Android based smart phone including the Apple iPhone 7. The beauty of having a Blackvue Dash Camera in your car is the ability to record what is happening around you. So yes, if someone crashes into your vehicle and you are not at fault, then you have some great evidence to give to your Insurance Company or to the investigating Police Officer.

If one really only needs a minute or two of footage either side of an accident, why do we need to record 128G of footage? Also, what is the hardwire pack for?

The way Blackvue Dash Cameras, and in fact almost all dash cameras work, is that they record until the memory card is full and then they overwrite themselves. For example, a Blackvue DR650S-2CH with a 16Gb memory card in it operating in Full HD (Front) and HD (Rear) at 30 frames per second will record approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes at the highest quality before overwriting itself. The same mode settings with a 128Gb card will give you 17 hours and 20 minutes before overwriting. Pretty important if you want to ensure that you capture something whilst you are away from the car. This is where your second question becomes important.

Blackvue have two 'hard wire' solutions. The first is the Power Magic Pro. Every single Blackvue Dash Cam purchased will benefit by being coupled with the Blackvue Power Magic Pro. In order to utilise a Parking mode or Motion detection feature on a Dash Cam, the unit requires constant power. This constant power can come from your vehicle via a hardwire kit or an external battery pack such as the B-112 or Cellink-B. The Power Magic Pro is a battery management tool that powers your Dash Cam while monitoring the voltages being output by your car battery to ensure it stays healthy and doesn't go flat. Power Magic Pro checks the health of your battery and has a pre-set “cutoff” point.  If the battery falls to that point the Power Magic Pro will cut power to the Dash Cam to ensure your battery doesn't go flat. Protect your investment and monitor your cars battery health with this great add on device.

The second solution is a battery backup solution and we have the B-112 or the Cellink-B. The B-112 Power Magic Battery Pack is an alternative for those who don't want to hard wire a Power Magic Pro into their vehicle. The B-112 Power Magic Battery Pack is a simple plug-and-use accessory, and no adjustments are needed! It can be installed in minutes and is simple to use. The B-112 is utilized by plugging it into your car's cigarette lighter power outlet. This battery pack is then able to supply power to your dash cam or other 12v accessory via the high-quality Lithium Iron Phosphate battery that is built-in to the unit. Additionally, there are two other USB ports on the B-112 that can supply up to 2A each and charge other devices as well! All in all, the B-112 can provide up to 12 hours without any external power input! The B-112 is compatible with any Blackvue dash camera or any other brand of dash camera.

And lastly there's the Cellink-B. The Cellink-B is renowned as the very best and leading dash camera battery pack for cars. The system was specially designed for use in BMW cars to prevent low voltage warnings. The system is now used in many different high-end vehicle brands and works to offer the user a long duration of CCTV video recording with their dash cam, after only 1 hour of driving time. The high quality lithium-iron phosphate battery means the system can reach temperatures of up to 70’C degrees before the internal computer automatically shuts the system off safely. The CELLINK-B is also very high quality with exceeding reliability and performance, it also offers the longest amount of recording time compared with any other model. Running times include ~20hrs+ for a DR650S-2CH and ~34hrs+ for a single channel dash camera such as the DR650S-1CH). The CELLINK-B is an advanced mobile power station for your dash camera – this is the latest model by the Korean manufacturer, Egens Co. The system works by charging a high quality lithium-iron battery when your car is running. When your car is turned off, the charged battery is then used to provide continuous 12V power to your dash camera without the need to drain any power from your cars battery. This process is very effective in reducing the risk of battery discharge, low voltage warnings and flat batteries.

With a Blackvue DR590 Dash Cam, can I Bluetooth straight to my phone?

I'm afraid not, the DR590-1CH is an entry level model as has no connectivity. You'd need to look at the DR650S models as an entry point as they feature WiFi to connect to your phone for viewing videos etc.
