BlackVue DR590X-2CH-32-PL DR590X-2CH Plus 32GB Dual Full HD Front & Rear Dash Cam

Quick answer

The BlackVue DR590X-2CH Plus records Full HD through a windscreen camera and a small rear window camera at the same time.

BlackVue Australia calls it a high performing mid tier dash cam, with built in WiFi and an optional GPS receiver.

Problems it solves

• Dim night footage where plates are hard to read. The front camera uses a Sony STARVIS sensor of about 2.1MP, chosen for low light.
• Pulling the card every time you want to see a clip. Clips can be pulled up on the BlackVue app over the built in 2.4GHz WiFi.
• Hot Australian cabins cooking a battery. A supercapacitor sits inside instead, and the unit has its own high temperature cut off at about 80 degrees.

Fitment and compatibility

Cars, utes and trucks on 12V or 24V systems, powered from the 12V socket or hardwired. The rear camera mounts inside the back glass on its own cable. For parking mode beyond a short stop, BlackVue recommends its B-130A battery pack.

What is in the box

The BlackVue manual lists the front camera, rear camera and rear camera cable, a 12V socket power cable, a hardwiring power cable, a quick start guide, double sided tape for both mounts, five cable clips, a microSD card reader, a microSD card and a pry tool.

Install notes

The hardwiring cable lets the camera keep watching in parking mode, and BlackVue builds a low voltage cut off into the camera itself. The pry tool tucks the rear camera lead under trims.
