Magellan MiVue DR45 — Capture Every Drive in Stunning Detail
Meet the Magellan MiVue DR45, a high-end dual-channel dash cam built to deliver crystal-clear video for both front and rear views. Engineered for the modern driver, this device combines powerful imaging, intelligent safety features, and advanced durability — giving you peace of mind behind the wheel.
With its native 4K Ultra HD recording on the front camera and 2K on the rear, the DR45 captures every license plate, road sign, and incident with clarity. Dual STARVIS 2 sensors work alongside HDR processing to balance lighting and maintain detail, even in shadowed or backlit scenes. Whether navigating dark tunnels, stormy nights, or bright streets, the DR45 ensures your footage remains sharp and usable.
Key Features & Benefits
- True Dual-Camera Recording (4K Front / 2K Rear)
The front channel records at full 4K (3840 × 2160p), while the rear captures in crisp 2K QHD (2560 × 1440p). This ensures coverage of both directions, making it ideal for highways, city driving, or parking scenarios.
- Dual STARVIS 2 + HDR Imaging
Equipped with Sony STARVIS 2 sensors (IMX678 front, IMX675 rear), this camera system boosts dynamic range and sensitivity. HDR (High Dynamic Range) further refines the contrast between bright and dark regions, so details aren’t lost in glare or shadow.
- Built-in Ultra-Precise GPS
Track your speed, route, and direction with on-board GPS that supports multiple satellite systems. The GPS data is embedded into your video for accurate location and speed logging — perfect for reports, evidence, or record-keeping.
- Wi-Fi & App Connectivity
Connect the dash cam to your smartphone using built-in Wi-Fi and access the Magellan MiVue Pro app. You can instantly view, download, and share videos without removing the memory card. Adjust settings, check routes, and monitor live camera feeds directly from your phone.
- Emergency Lock & Loop Recording
A 3-axis G-sensor detects sudden impact or motion and automatically locks the current recording to prevent overwriting. At the same time, loop recording ensures continuous capture by overwriting the oldest footage first, making optimal use of storage.
- Supercapacitor Power & Thermal Durability
Instead of a conventional battery, a supercapacitor offers superior heat tolerance and a longer service life. The system maintains stable performance even during extreme summer heat or freezing winter conditions.
- Corruption-Proof File Format + Efficient Compression
To guard against file corruption, footage is segmented every few seconds using a robust MP4 format. The advanced H.265 compression reduces file size while preserving image quality — allowing you to store more video on a single memory card.
- 24/7 Parking Protection
When hardwired with an optional kit, the DR45 enters parking mode to monitor your vehicle even when you’re away. It supports two modes:
-
Smart Motion Detection: Automatically begins recording upon detecting movement or impact.
-
Power Saving Mode: Enters standby and only activates when needed to conserve power.
Safety Alerts & Driver Assistance
Integrated alerts help you stay safe on long drives. Features such as a headlight reminder and driver fatigue warning encourage safer driving habits and alert you when attention might be waning.
