Back to BlackVue collection

If you are looking for a solid investment into a high quality dash camera, BlackVue is a brand you can’t go wrong with. Established in 2007, BlackVue has become the standard for simple, reliable, connected and elegant dash cam design. BlackVue has a dashcam solution for just about every driver, from teen drivers to commercial truck operators and everything in between. Premium Parking Mode monitoring and advanced Over the Cloud features provides both business fleet managers and individual users an easy way to monitor their vehicles from the palm of their hand anytime, anywhere.

BlackVue has consistently put new and improved dash cameras with updated technological capabilities throughout the years, and in 2020, BlackVue replaced its well-received S-series with the X-series.

If you are thinking of upgrading to the new BlackVue X-series, you might we wondering if and how much of the existing BlackVue S-series setup you have in your vehicle can you keep.

Rear Cameras: Existing rear cameras and connecting cables are compatible between the S and the X-series. If you currently have the Cellink NEO or the BlackVue Power Magic Battery Pack (B-124X) in your dash cam setup, you can simply hook them up to the new X-series.

Tamper-Proof Case: The S-series tamper-proof cases do not work on the X-series.

No More PMP: Previously with the S-series, you will need to use the Power Magic Pro (PMP) if you want to hardwire the dash cam to your vehicle for parking mode recording. With the new X-series, BlackVue has voltage monitor built into the dash cam, so you no longer need the PMP - all you need is the new 3-Wire Hardwiring Kit.

New CM100 LTE: Because this LTE-connectivity is a new technology that BlackVue is introducing with the X-Series, the S-Series dash cams will not have the hardware nor the port for the LTE module. In other words, you won't be able to simply plug the CM100 LTE module into the old DR900S.

Rear Cameras: Do note that the S and the X-Series share one thing in common: the 1-Channel variants are designed and built to be single-channel dash cameras and are not expandable to 2-Channels. In other words, if you are planning on upgrading your 1-Channel S-Series to a 2-Channel X-Series, you will need to purchase the complete 2-channel X model.

Tamper-Proof Case: The S-series tamper-proof cases do not work on the X-series.

No More PMP: Previously with the S-series, you will need to use the Power Magic Pro (PMP) if you want to hardwire the dash cam to your vehicle for parking mode recording.
