What is Live Event Upload and how do I set it up?Updated an hour ago

This feature allows the dash cam to automatically upload event recording files in low resolution to BlackVue Cloud.

How it works

With Live Event Upload, your dashcam can save Event videos in real time to the Cloud. Not only does it start saving to the Cloud soon after the event trigger, but it also includes the 5-10 second pre-impact footage. If you are still not sure what it means, let’s break down the steps with an example:

Let’s imagine a setup with a BlackVue IR system (with front and interior-facing cameras). Your car is parked, with your dashcam hardwired and connected to the cloud, and Parking Mode active.

1. A thief breaks into your car: vibrations from the break-in are detected by the G-sensor (accelerometer) of the BlackVue dashcam.
   • The dashcam creates an Event file in full resolution (Full HD or 4K UHD, depending on the model) for each camera (front / rear / interior), which includes the pre-impact footage.
   • Simultaneously, the dashcam records sub-streams, or lower-resolution versions of the videos.
2. As the Event starts, the dashcam starts uploading both sub-streams to the Cloud, where they are saved in real time: that’s Live Event Upload.
3. Now, let’s imagine the thief notices your dashcam and disconnects it: the footage recorded up until that point will be safe in the Cloud!

Granted, car break-ins may not be the most common incidents. However, it’s easy to imagine how useful that feature is in more common cases as well, such as hit-and-runs.

How to set up?

By default, the Live Event Upload feature is only enabled for manual recordings and impacts. To enable and configure it for other event types, please follow these steps:

1. Launch the BlackVue app and access the settings for your desired dash cam
2. If you have a newer model (DR770X/DR970X/DR970X Plus series), go to Event Triggers, then under each event type, toggle Live Event Upload on or off as desired. If you have an older model, go to Live Event Upload and toggle it on or off as desired for each event type.
