It’s important to note that a more budget-friendly version, the BlackSys CL-100B 2CH GPS, is also available. This model omits the OBDII connectivity, making it a more affordable option if vehicle data logging isn’t a primary need.
Dual Camera Recording for Comprehensive Coverage
The BlackSys CL-100B OBDII is a dual-channel dashcam system, featuring both a front-facing camera integrated into the main unit and a separate, external rear camera. This setup ensures simultaneous recording from both the front and rear of your vehicle. The front camera, equipped with a 5.0MP SONY Exmor R Sensor, boasts a 130° horizontal viewing angle, while the rear camera covers a 120° angle. The front camera captures crisp, true Full HD video at 1920×1080 pixels, and the rear camera records in HD at 1280×720 pixels.
The rear camera is designed for interior mounting on the rear windshield and connects to the main unit via a thin, long cable included in the package. Installation is straightforward, and neatly concealing the cable within the car’s interior trim can be done during a routine service appointment.
OBDII Connectivity: Unleashing Vehicle Data Recording
The BlackSys CL-100B OBDII-2CH-GPS distinguishes itself as a pioneering dashcam by offering seamless integration with your vehicle’s onboard computer via the OBD II diagnostic port. This standard port is present in virtually all vehicles manufactured after 1997. This innovative connection empowers the dashcam to record not only standard video, audio, speed, and GPS data but also a wealth of real-time vehicle operation parameters:
| – Turn Signal Indicator Status | |
|---|---|
| – Transmission Mode (Gear Selection) | |
| – Fuel Consumption | |
| – Brake Pedal Position | |
| – Accelerator Pedal Position | |
| – Levels of Vehicle System Fluids | |
| – And much more |
After each journey, the BlackSys CL-100B OBDII can generate and store a comprehensive report detailing all recorded vehicle parameters. This data can be invaluable for personal driving analysis or in professional contexts.
GPS and GLONASS: Precise Location and Speed Tracking
The BlackSys 100B-CL is equipped with a comprehensive suite of features, and location tracking is no exception. It incorporates both GPS and GLONASS, the Russian counterpart, ensuring accurate speed and location data are recorded throughout your drives. You have the option to overlay GPS parameters directly onto the video footage, adding an extra layer of information and credibility to your recordings.
Supporting both European and Russian satellite systems, the GPS/GLONASS module provides robust and reliable location tracking in a wide range of environments.
