BlackVue DR590X-2CH Plus (32 GB)
BlackVue's entry-level two-channel set records Full HD front and rear, with Wi-Fi and BlackVue's cloud ecosystem, but GPS depends on the version and €306 is a lot for 1080p.

Review
What this product is
Written after the analysis, from the same sources the score is built on: the manufacturer's documentation, available studies and verified owner feedback.
The DR590X-2CH Plus is for drivers who want BlackVue's app and cloud ecosystem at the lowest entry price. BlackVue states a Sony STARVIS front camera recording Full HD at 60 fps, built-in Wi-Fi and native parking-mode support, and says a hardwiring cable is included in the package; Coolblue lists Full HD on both channels, a 32 GB card in the box, cards up to 512 GB, a weight of 88 g and 12 V/24 V car adapters.
There are inconsistencies to check before buying. BlackVue's page we read was the "With GPS" version with an external GPS receiver, while Coolblue lists GPS as available separately for its version. Coolblue gives 30 fps where BlackVue states 60 fps at the front. BlackVue mentions free 5 GB cloud backup storage with a BlackVue Cloud account. The exact sensor model, field of view, operating temperature and power-backup type were not published on the pages we read.
No Coolblue reviews yet and no readable independent test. At €306 for 1080p, it costs more than 4K two-channel sets from Nordväl and Mio.
