It does not include an interior camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it record in 4K?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Both cameras record 2560 × 1440 at 30FPS. The ELITE 9 is an alternative when you want 4K front recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it support HDR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Both cameras have HDR and a Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a hardwiring kit included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The included USB-C power cable and vehicle adapter support driving recording. Purchase compatible parking power hardware separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan USB-C power run parking mode?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. BlackVue specifies that the USB-C connection does not support parking mode. Use a compatible hardwire kit or battery installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Power Saving capture footage before an impact?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It wakes after impact detection and begins recording within about two seconds. Choose a buffered mode if earlier activity matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does less than 1mA mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt describes standby consumption at 12V in Power Saving. Recording and connected accessories draw additional power, so this is not a continuous-recording consumption figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long can it record while parked?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuntime depends on available battery capacity, recording mode, detected events, temperature and cutoff settings. The camera does not guarantee a fixed number of days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do Motion Detection and Time Lapse differ?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotion Detection buffers video and saves triggered activity. Time Lapse records one frame per second for a faster review of the parked scene. Both use more power than impact-only standby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the camera have built-in LTE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Cloud access needs a compatible hotspot or a separate CM100G LTE module, supported regional SIM and data plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I download videos without cellular service?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Connect nearby over Wi-Fi through the BlackVue app to view and download clips. Cellular service is needed only if you choose a cellular internet connection for remote features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ELITE 8 support H.265?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It uses H.264 \/ AVC and saves MP4 files. The ELITE 9 and ELITE 10 offer H.265 as an additional option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size memory card can I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible BlackVue microSD cards up to 1TB are supported. A microSD card is included; the supported maximum is not a statement of the supplied card capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan protected event files still be lost?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Protection keeps up to 50 event files from normal loop overwrite, but formatting erases them. Keep a separate backup of important recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the camera keep recording in extreme heat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can stop recording when thermal protection activates. The operating range is −20°C to 65°C; the roughly 70°C cutoff does not extend the continuous-use rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat condition and warranty should I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe test each unit through our in-house 10-point functionality check and supply it in like-new condition.
