VEHICLE BATTERY DISCHARGE PREVENTION
When the voltage value drops below a certain level, the DR490L cuts off power
automatically to prevent the vehicle battery from being discharged.

BLACKVUE VIEWER APPLICATION (PC/MAC)
• Watch recordings, check speed and location, trace route of vehicle on Google
Maps.

3 RECORD MODES
Normal, Event and Parking modes are activated through the built-in G-Sensor/
Motion Sensor.

LOOP RECORDING
The DR490L-2CH records over the oldest video files first when the microSD
card is full, in a seamless loop.

OPTIONAL GPS
Record vehicle speed and location for playback in the BlackVue Viewer
application by adding the optional GPS module.

NATIVE PARKING MODE SUPPORT
With its integrated voltage cut-off function and included professional installation cable, DR490L-2CH supports Parking Mode out of the box without requiring additional hardwiring accessories.
With the professional installation cable, the DR490L-2CH can be connected to a vehicle’s battery via the fuse box. It can then detect when the vehicle’s ignition is turned off and immediately activate Parking Mode recording.
 
In Parking Mode, your BlackVue monitors your parked vehicle, but only writes to the memory card when something happens (motion or impact detected), which has two benefits:
Less chance for important files to be overwritten during long Parking Mode sessions.
Extended memory card lifespan in the long run.
 
The dashcam detects movements via the camera sensor and impacts via the gravity sensor. You can choose to record videos in either both scenarios or only when impacts are detected.

Power Options for BlackVue DR490L 2CH Dash Camera

Hardwire Kit
Using a hardwire kit we can safely install the camera so it is wired to your car, as opposed to the cigarette socket, meaning all the wires are hidden and it is professionally installed. The camera will be on the ignition and will turn off when you leave the vehicle, and resume recording when you start the ignition again.

BlackVue OBD Power Pro Cable
The BlackVue OBD Power Pro Cable is a simple way to power your BlackVue Dash Camera directly from the vehicle's electrical system, without wiring directly to the fuse box. Plug the BlackVue OBD Power Pro Cable into your vehicle's OBD II port and connect to your BlackVue dash cam, You or an install would then install the cabling out of sight to complete a neat and tidy installation.

Length: 3.5m
Parking and Standard modes
Battery discharge protection
Compatible with BlackVue DR750S, DR900S, DR590W, DR590, DR650S, DR490, DR470, DR450 and DR430 models

Premium Hardwire
The Premium Hardwire kit is installed as above, but will also record when you are parked so you can get footage whilst away from the camera. The unit has a built in battery drain detection so this will monitor the car batteries voltage and if/when too low it will cut the camera to prevent further battery drain. The camera works in a sleep mode in the background whilst recording and sensing motion and G force shock. The length of time this works, and the prevention of a flat battery is based on the type of driving you do, how much charge the battery has, how old the battery is, and how many live working cells the battery has.

B-112 Power Magic Battery Pack
With the B-112 Power Magic Battery Pack, BlackVue dashcams will automatically switch to Parking Mode to monitor your parked vehicle.


The B-112 simply plugs into your vehicle’s accessory (cigarette lighter) power socket or if we are installing it for you we can safely hardwire it to your car.
The Power Magic Battery Pack recharges itself while driving (full charge in one hour). Powers your dashcam while parked (up to 12 hours with a single-channel BlackVue). 12V and 24V compatibility.

B-124 Power Magic Ultra Battery Pack
The high capacity of the B-124 Power Magic Ultra Battery (6000 mAh) makes it ideal for long Parking Mode sessions.
It charges fast, powers your dashcam for longer, and comes with a free Bluetooth app to manage battery status and settings.


Hardwired or connected to a cigarette lighter power socket.
The Power Magic Ultra Battery can be simply connected to a cigarette lighter socket: it will then take about 80 minutes to reach a full charge when ignition is on.
It can also be hardwired to your vehicle’s battery via the fuse box. In this case, it will charge in under 40 minutes.
NOTE: make sure to toggle the switch at the back of the battery to match your installation (Cigarette or Hardwired).
