BlackVue RC3-2K 2K QHD Rear Camera (Elite Series)
BlackVue RC3-2K 2K QHD Rear Camera (Elite Series)
Overview
The BlackVue RC3-2K is a 2K QHD rear camera that upgrades your Elite Series dash cam to a sharp 2-channel system — capturing far more detail behind you than a standard 1080p rear camera.
Who it's for
Buy this if you run a BlackVue Elite 8 or Elite 9 and want rear coverage that matches the quality of your front camera. The extra resolution means number plates behind you stay readable — exactly what you want for rear-end and merging disputes.
- 2K QHD rear
- For Elite 8 & 9
- Sharper plates
- 6Gbps cable included
Pros & cons
Pros
- 2K QHD 2560×1440 — far sharper than a 1080p rear camera
- Sony STARVIS sensor for strong low-light performance
- Reads number plates behind you more reliably
- Includes a 6 m 6Gbps coaxial cable and mounting bracket
- Genuine Elite-series match for consistent footage
Worth knowing
- For the Elite Series only (Elite 8 / Elite 9) — check your model
- Higher resolution uses more storage — a larger card helps
- Best fitted with the supplied 6Gbps cable routed behind trim
- Not compatible with older DR-series dash cams
A closer look
Rear footage that actually reads plates
Most rear cameras are only 1080p, so a plate behind you can blur just when you need it. The RC3-2K records 2K QHD (2560×1440) — a big jump in detail that keeps plates and detail readable in rear-end and merging incidents, the most common rear-of-vehicle claims.
Clear after dark
A Sony STARVIS sensor pulls in more light, so the RC3-2K holds detail in low light and at night — matching the after-dark quality you expect from the Elite range.
Genuine Elite upgrade
The kit includes the correct 6-metre 6Gbps coaxial cable and a mounting bracket, so it slots into your Elite system as the manufacturer intended.
Compatibility
The RC3-2K is designed for the BlackVue Elite Series — Elite 8 (1CH/2CH) and Elite 9 (1CH/2CH). It uses the newer 6Gbps coaxial connection and is not compatible with older DR-series dash cams. If you'd like us to confirm it suits your exact Elite model, just ask.
Installation
Mount the RC3-2K at the rear, run the supplied 6 m 6Gbps coaxial cable to the front Elite unit behind the trim and headliner, and connect. A trim tool makes for a clean, hidden install.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose 2K over a 1080p rear camera?
2K QHD captures much more detail, so number plates and faces behind you stay readable — important for rear-end and merging disputes where 1080p can fall short.
Which dash cams does it fit?
The BlackVue Elite 8 and Elite 9 (1CH and 2CH). It uses the 6Gbps cable and won't work with older DR-series models.
Does it come with the right cable?
Yes — a 6 m 6Gbps coaxial cable and mounting bracket are included, so it connects straight to your Elite system.
How does it perform at night?
Its Sony STARVIS sensor gathers more light for clearer low-light and night footage than a typical rear camera.
