The proximity sensor is located on the side of the front camera, next to the WiFi icon for older models (refer to the image below).
With the exception of the DR750LW-2CH, DR590W Series, and DR590X Series, all the BlackVue dashcams with a built-in WiFi module have a proximity sensor.
The table below shows the functions of the proximity sensor according to different camera models.
| Camera Model | Function |
| DR650GW | Legacy Firmware (Non-Cloud): Audio Recording ON/OFF Cloud Firmware: Manual Recording trigger |
| DR650S | Default: Audio Recording ON/OFF Option 2: Manual Recording Trigger |

The proximity sensor was replaced by the touch sensor for the following camera models:
- DR770X Series
- DR970X and DR970X Plus Series
- DR770X LTE Series
- DR970X LTE Series
The touch sensor can either be disabled or enabled to trigger Manual Event recordings.
The DR770X BOX camera series has a wireless SOS button instead of the proximity or touch sensor that triggers Manual Event recording when pressed.
The SOS Button should be registered to the main camera unit upon installation.
