What is BlackVue Over the Cloud?
BlackVue Over the Cloud combines state-of-the-art dashcam technology with cloud ubiquity to make the most out of your BlackVue dashcam. Video backup, real-time GPS-tracking, alarm, the possibilities are endless. BlackVue Over the Cloud is all about using your dashcam to its full potential, so that you and your car are always connected.
How does it work?
Taking advantage of a mobile or car-embedded Internet connection and a BlackVue dashcam, BlackVue Over the Cloud connects you to your car through the Cloud. Using the BlackVue App on your smartphone or tablet, you see in real time where your car is located and what is happening around it.
An exisitng Wi-Fi hotspot is required to use BlackVue Over the Cloud service.

- Small businesses owners can monitor delivery vehicles on a map in real time and communicate with them directly thanks to the integrated two-way communication function.
- Larger companies can take advantage of BlackVue Over the Cloud to monitor their fleets of vehicles and greatly reduce installation and maintenance costs in comparison to traditional surveillance systems, while also enjoying rich data in real time.
Remote Live ViewRemotely monitor your car in real time from anywhere, anytime.
Two-way Voice CommunicationTalk with people in the car from your smartphone.
Emergency AlarmReceive notifications on your phone when preset events occur.
Video BackupMove files from your dashcam to the Cloud storage or your smartphone/tablet, right from the app. No more worrying about videos being overwritten on your dashcam’s storage. *
GPS TrackingVisualize on a map your car’s location and speed.
Remote Video PlaybackPlay videos stored in the Cloud or in your dashcam anytime on your smartphone or tablet
* Please note that even with Cloud service, all video files are still recorded to the memory card inside the BlackVue dashcam, and they are not automatically uploaded to the Cloud. Automatic upload of all video files is currently cost-prohibitive.*
Go Live, hands on the wheel!
In addition to its self-contained features, BlackVue Over the Cloud allows you to broadcast your Cloud-connected dashcam to Facebook Live.
With Facebook Live broadcast, you can stream in real time to your personal Facebook account but not only!
You can also choose to stream to a Facebook Page you manage (Admin access required).
Even better: multiple BlackVue dashcams can be set to stream to the same Facebook Page simultaneously!

Remote Live View/Live View
When you access Remote Live View from your BlackVue dashcam over the Cloud, your dashcam streams data to the Cloud server, which is then sent to your device.
Use the table below to assess your data needs, based on your Live View usage estimate.
To take best advantage of BlackVue Over the Cloud–including Parking Mode Notifications–the use of a dedicated mobile router is recommended.
