Affordable yet powerful, the BlackVue DR590X-1CH Plus delivers Full HD 1080p recording at 60FPS with a Sony STARVIS sensor and built-in Wi-Fi, making it the ideal entry-level dashcam for drivers who refuse to compromise on image quality.
The DR590X-1CH Plus is BlackVue's entry-level single-channel dashcam, built around a Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor for Full HD (1920x1080) recording at 60FPS. The Sony STARVIS sensor delivers outstanding low-light performance, capturing clear, detailed footage in conditions where standard sensors lose quality. At 60FPS, motion is recorded with greater smoothness and detail than standard 30FPS dashcams, reducing blur on fast-moving objects such as number plates.
Built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connects the DR590X-1CH Plus directly to the BlackVue app for video playback and settings management. Impact and motion detection are built in, with parking mode recording providing protection when the vehicle is unattended. An optional GPS receiver can be added for speed and location overlay on footage.
The 128GB BlackVue microSD card in this SKU is well suited to drivers who use parking mode regularly or commute longer distances daily, providing approximately 14 hours of continuous Full HD recording at default quality before loop overwrite begins.
The Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor provides approximately 2.1MP capture with outstanding low-light sensitivity, delivering usable footage in night and low-light driving conditions. Combined with Full HD 1920x1080 at 60FPS, the DR590X-1CH Plus produces smooth, high-detail recordings for insurance and incident documentation.
Built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi allows direct connection to the BlackVue app for live view, clip downloads, and settings adjustments. Recording modes include Normal Recording, Event Recording triggered by impact detection, and Parking Mode Recording for both impact and motion events. Format-Free (Adaptive) file management improves recording stability and reduces manual card formatting requirements.
The built-in supercapacitor provides reliable short-term power for safe recording shutdown on power loss, without battery degradation risk in high-heat parking conditions.

Can I add a rear camera to the DR590X-1CH Plus?
No. The DR590X-1CH Plus is a single-channel front-only dashcam. A rear camera cannot be added to this model. Drivers requiring front and rear recording should consider a dual-channel BlackVue model.
Does the DR590X-1CH Plus record in parking mode without hardwiring?
Parking mode requires a constant power source. Using the included hardwiring cable connected to the vehicle's fuse panel is the recommended method. For extended parking mode recording without drawing from the vehicle's battery, the BlackVue B-130A dedicated battery pack is recommended.
Who benefits most from the 128GB storage option?
The 128GB card suits drivers who use parking mode overnight or commute longer distances daily. At default quality, 128GB stores approximately 14 hours of continuous recording before loop overwrite begins, covering two or more days of typical driving with parking mode active between sessions.
Is Wi-Fi required to use the dashcam?
No. The DR590X-1CH Plus operates as a standard dashcam regardless of Wi-Fi status. Wi-Fi is used to connect to the BlackVue app for video playback, settings adjustments, and live view, and can be toggled on or off via the button on the unit.
Why is a supercapacitor better than a battery in a dashcam?
A supercapacitor provides short-term power for safe recording shutdown on sudden power loss, without the degradation risk that lithium batteries face at high temperatures. In Australian conditions where a parked vehicle's interior can reach extreme heat, a supercapacitor-based design provides more reliable long-term performance.
