Don’t wait till you’re in a situation where you are left wishing that you had a Dashcam!
50% of the customers buying Dashcams from Unity Performance wait till after they’ve been in an in incident without a dashcam, and anytime we ask how come they didn’t have one, the answer is “Oh, I just kept delaying”.
In most cases, one of these BlackVue Dashcams is less than 1-3% of your car’s value. Your insurance deductible is higher, your repair costs in a parked hit and run will be higher, the value loss on your vehicle is higher, and of course you don’t want to be in a situation where it’s your word vs. their word!
We are running the BlackVue DR970X-Plus 2CH in the UNITY CTR. Humza retired his 6-year old yet still faithful and robust DR750S 2CH Dash Cam recently for this top of the line unit. 4K@30FPS Sony Starvis 2 Front Sensor, along with 5Ghz WiFi file transfer are the two standout features on this model.
