See the BlackVue ELITE 10 2CH (click here) instead. Access The Cloud via optional LTE module Parking Mode 24/7 Surveillance Redefined 4K Clarity with HDR ELITE 10 offers improved dash cam performance with advanced HDR technology. It is designed to provide clear and well-balanced video recordings in both bright sunlight and low-light situations. Sony IMX678 STARVIS 2 front sensor captures crisp 4K (3840×2160) video. HDR reduces glare and motion blur, sharpening details so license plates stay readable in motion. Fast f/1.7 lense with wide angle deliver bright, low-distortion footage day and night. 18 Years of BlackVue Imaging Mastery ELITE 10 redefines dash cam clarity by combining the best components with BlackVue’s expert image tuning mastery acquired over 18 years of experience. Slim, Purpose-Built Design BlackVue’s signature design makes your dash cam almost invisible to the driver when installed behind the rear-view mirror. All the essentials are right where you need them. A dedicated USB port lets you plug in the optional CM100G LTE module for always-connected protection, while the power button handles quick on/off with a short or long press. Lift the side cover to access the microSD card, and rely on the built-in speaker and microphone for clear audio and voice prompts in up to 17 languages (or mute them in the settings if you prefer). LED indicators show recording and connectivity status at a glance, and a touch-sensitive area lets you tap to instantly trigger a Manual Event recording. All Features At Your Fingertips The BlackVue App is designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind. No convoluted menus. Access all the key features from the main screen. Intuitive Interface Need to check and download a video to your phone? No problem. Just open the BlackVue App and tap the Playback/Live View button, then browse your videos. Fast Wi-Fi ELITE 10 lets you download a max resolution video clip in about 10-20 seconds (5GHz connection). Parking Mode Connecting the ELITE 10 to your car via the included Hardwiring Power Cable or the optional B-130A Battery Pack battery pack allows for parking mode. When parked, the ELITE 10 can also detect any visual movements around your vehicle. These events are automatically tagged and saved. If a cloud connection is present, you'll have the ability to receive alerts and view the clips from both computer and mobile device. Elite Protection 24/7 ELITE detects and records a wide range of incidents such as driving impacts, parking impacts, sudden acceleration, braking, sharp turns, and speeding using the built-in G-Sensor and GPS. Pre-Event Recording & Protection Each 1-minute Event clip includes a 10-second pre-incident buffer to capture what led up to the moment, and the latest 50 clips are automatically protected from being overwritten—so you never lose critical footage. Buffered Parking Mode In Parking Mode, motion detection triggers a 1-minute buffered recording from the front or rear camera, while timelapse mode continuously records at 1 frame per second—compressing 30 minutes of real time into a 1-minute clip. Power Saving Mode The ELITE 10 wakes up on impact then goes back to standby mode after 1 min recording (buffered recording not supported). Provides several days of protection. Ideal when leaving your vehicle unattended for extended periods of time. Built-in Impact & Motion Detection While on the road, the built-in accelerometer (G-sensor) can detect sudden changes in speed or impacts. When parked, the ELITE 10 can also detect any visual movements around your vehicle. These events are automatically tagged and saved. If a cloud connection is present, you'll have the ability to receive alerts and view the clips from both computer and mobile device. GPS, Wi-Fi and Seamless Pairing GPS Logging You can check the position of your vehicle on the map while playing back the video, and the speed can also be overlaid on the video. The speed overlay can be hidden in the settings. 5GHz Wi-Fi Connectivity With Wi-Fi connectivity, you can easily link your BlackVue dashcam to your smartphone or tablet. Additionally, Wi-Fi allows your BlackVue to connect to the BlackVue Cloud using any mobile or home Wi-Fi hotspot or router for easy access to files and settings. Optional LTE Module The ELITE 10 be connected to BlackVue Cloud via an optional LTE connectivity module via the USB port for the best Cloud experience. Optional External Battery The B-130A Power Magic Ultra Battery is the latest and greatest way to power your BlackVue dash cam without tapping into your car’s battery. It keeps your dash cam running in parking mode or connected to the cloud—even when your engine’s off. Optional LTE Module The optional CM100LTE module makes it easy to connect to the cloud 24/7. This add-on device connects to the ELITE 10 front camera via USB port, providing a constant internet connection and allowing the ELITE 10 to serve as a mobile hotspot for up to five devices. Unlike in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspots, the module stays powered on while parked and provides access to your dash camera from anywhere in the world. If you'd like LTE built directly into your dash cam, check out the DR970X-2CH-LTE-PLUS II BlackVue Cloud Packed With Innovative Features Live View, Emergency Alarm, GPS Tracking,Two-way Voice Communication, Video Backup, Remote Video Playback, the possibilities are endless. BlackVue Over the Cloud is all about using your dashcam to its full potential, so that you and your car are always connected * Requires connection to Wi-Fi or Optional LTE Module. For Built-In LTE dash cams check out the DR970X-2CH-LTE-PLUS II! More Features & Information The ELITE 10 is of course still fully functional as a 'typical' dash cam, recording at all times when you drive, whether you choose to utilize the optional LTE / Cloud features or not: When plugged in to your standard power outlet in the vehicle, the system will still power on and off with the vehicle, automatically recording audio, video and GPS speed & location at all times as you drive. For motion detection ("parking mode") recording, the ELITE 10 can be hardwired directly to the vehicle's electrical system via the included direct-wire cable. Alternatively, the ELITE 10 can also be powered by the BlackVue B-130A Battery Pack instead of your car battery while the vehicle is parked. All normal driving and parking mode recordings are automatically stored locally on the internal BlackVue memory card (64/256/512 GB options available). Once the memory card is completely 'full', only the oldest video file on the card is overwritten as each new video file is created (this is known as loop recording). The memory card can be removed and plugged in to your PC or Mac using a microSD to USB adapter. This is an easy way to do a bulk download or backup of all your videos. The ELITE 10 does not have a screen on it from which to play back recorded videos from the memory card. Thankfully, the recordings can be accessed via a direct WiFi connection. You can connect to the ELITE with your smartphone the same way you would connect to a WiFi network at home or at Starbucks, then use the free BlackVue app to view and download your recordings directly from the camera. Audio recording, on by default, can be disabled temporarily, or turned off completely by default. GPS speed display can be disabled from being visible in your video recordings. Everything you need to use the system is included in the box: front camera with adhesive windshield mount, BlackVue memory card, plug-in power cable, optional direct-wire power cord, etc. A Note on Memory Cards All BlackVue dashcams include a BlackVue-branded 64, 256, 512 GB or 1TB memory card. While the memory cards are removable and the card slots will accept other brands of memory cards, we strongly suggest the use of only BlackVue memory cards in the BlackVue dashcams, as the use of a non-BlackVue memory card may cause performance issues and may void your manufacturer’s warranty. BlackVue OEM memory cards are industrial-grade VNAND-type microSD cards and are designed and tested to withstand the extreme temperatures, vibrations and the constant read/write cycles of high quality dashcams. Typical consumer-grade memory cards such as those from SanDisk are simply not up to the task. Stick with the OEM BlackVue memory cards to ensure your dashcams are always recording when it matters most. .bv-feature-specs { display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 1rem; margin: 1.5rem auto; max-width: 1100px; } .bv-spec-box { flex: 1 1 auto; padding: 1.5rem; border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 8px; background: #F2F2F2; box-sizing: border-box; min-height: 130px; box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.04); display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; text-align: center; } .bv-spec-box p { margin: 0; font-size: 0.95rem; line-height: 1.5; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .bv-feature-specs { flex-direction: row; } .bv-spec-box { flex: 1 1 0; } } .bv-video-wrapper { position: relative; width: 100%; max-width: 1275px; aspect-ratio: 16/9; margin: 0 auto; /* center it */ } .bv-video-wrapper iframe { position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0; display: block; } .feature-two-column-split { max-width: 1275px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } /* .feature-column-grey { background-color: #e1e1e1; } */ .feature-two-column-left, .feature-two-column-right, .feature-text { max-width: 1275px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } .feature-image, .feature-column, .feature-column-left, .feature-column-right, .bv-video-wrapper { border-radius: 16px; overflow: hidden; } .collage-sec { --gap: 8px; --radius: 16px; --shadow: 0 8px 24px rgba(0, 0, 0, .18); --chip-bg: #111827; --chip-fg: #ffffff; --accent: #f94743; --cap-fg: #f9fafb; max-width: 1275px; margin-inline: auto; padding: 0; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Inter, Arial, sans-serif; } .collage-grid { display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1.9fr 1.1fr; grid-template-rows: 310px 310px 300px; column-gap: var(--gap); row-gap: var(--gap); align-items: stretch; } .collage-item { position: relative; overflow: hidden; border-radius: var(--radius); box-shadow: var(--shadow); isolation: isolate; background: #0b0b0b; } .collage-item--hero { grid-row: 1 / span 2; } .collage-item--wide { grid-column: 1 / -1; height: 280px; } .collage-item img { width: 100%; height: 100%; object-fit: cover; display: block; transition: transform .5s ease; } .collage-item:hover img { transform: scale(1.04); } /* Removed overlay opacity */ .collage-item::after { display: none; } .collage-cap { position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; color: var(--cap-fg); padding: 14px 16px 16px; font-weight: 650; font-size: clamp(14px, 2.2vw, 16px); z-index: 2; display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 10px; justify-content: space-between; } .collage-cap__label { display: inline-flex; align-items: center; gap: 8px; } .collage-cap__label span { border-bottom: 2px solid var(--accent); } .collage-cap__label span { background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); } .collage-chip { background: var(--chip-bg); color: var(--chip-fg); font-size: 12px; padding: 6px 10px; border-radius: 999px; border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, .08); white-space: nowrap; } @media (max-width: 900px) { .collage-grid { grid-template-columns: 1.6fr 1fr; grid-auto-rows: 240px; gap: 8px; } .collage-item--wide { height: 240px; } } @media (max-width: 700px) { .collage-grid { grid-template-columns: 1fr; grid-auto-rows: auto; gap: 10px; } .collage-item, .collage-item--hero, .collage-item--wide { grid-column: span 1; width: 100%; aspect-ratio: 16/9; height: auto; } } document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () { const videos = document.querySelectorAll('.daLazyVideo'); const observer = new IntersectionObserver(entries => { entries.forEach(entry => { if (entry.isIntersecting) { const video = entry.target; // Set the actual source when video is in view video.querySelector('source').src = video.querySelector('source').dataset.src; video.load(); // Start loading the video now that we have a source video.play(); observer.unobserve(video); } }); }); videos.forEach(video => { observer.observe(video); }); }); REVIEWS TECHNICAL SPECS Model Name ELITE 10-1CH Channel 1CH Highlights 4K UHD HDR, 2.4-5GHz Wi-Fi, Cloud (data not included), Power Saving Parking Mode Product Dimensions / Weight Front: Length 129.7mm (5.12in) x Width 40mm (1.58in) x Height 55.3mm (2.18in), 195g (0.43 lb) Rear Camera Connection Coaxial cable Memory Support microSD card up to 1TB Smart Event Recording Driving ImpactParking ImpactOverspeedHard AccelerationHard BrakingHard Cornering(Including 10 sec.
