Research notes
blackvue.com product pages returned errors, so the official manual site (manual.blackvue.com) was used. BlackVue Cloud works through a Wi-Fi hotspot or the optional LTE module. The warranty page says 2 years for dash cams and add-on cameras (from 1 Sept 2024) and points to the product manual; UK distributor terms not confirmed. HDR is not mentioned in official specs. The front sensor model (e.g. STARVIS 2 / IMX) is not named in the manual. No screen: the device has LEDs and a touch sensor only. microSD capacity in box not stated. No official UK £ store found.
