During my morning trip into town, I stopped and captured thermal pics of a DR970X-2CH Plus camera. The max temp was on the right end (end with cables connections) at 116.2F/46.8C. The second hottest spot was located at the left edge of the mount for the front camera at 109.1F/42.8C. The coolest location was on the touch sensor end at 100.8F/38.2C. The outside temp was 66F/18.9C and the passenger compartment temp was 68F/20C.
The DR970X-2CH Plus has firmware v1.002 installed. It's recording H.265 video with the default video bitrate setting of "Extreme" to a BlackVue 256 GB memory card. I currently have multiple dash cameras drawing power from a BlackVue B-130X dash camera, so my power consumption reading in the app will be skewed to a high value. I'll have to fall back to my previous power consumption testing of this dash camera (see below).

Here are three thermal pics of the rear RC110F camera. I didn't have it mounted on any window glass in this vehicle (during this test), but I wanted to make sure it was connected to the front so the video processing load was as "high" as possible.
