Dear BlackVue Users,
We are glad to announce that a new server for BlackVue Cloud has just been opened in London, UK.
Users in the greater Europe and Africa regions will now connect to this new server, resulting in a faster Cloud service for everyone.
Better experience in Europe and Africa
This server will allow faster speed for all users of our Cloud services in the Europe and Africa regions. As BlackVue dashcam Cloud usage keeps growing in Europe, we decided to increase our server capacity in order to better server our customers in the region.
With our Cloud server located so far in North America, Cloud users located in Europe or Africa could sometimes experience micro delays when accessing our Cloud services.
This was due to the physical distance between the server and the users.
With the addition of a server based in London, UK, most users in Europe and Africa can now witness reduced latency and a smoother overall experience when connecting to your BlackVue via the BlackVue app over the Cloud. In particular, Remote Live View and video downloads from the dashcam to the app over the Cloud will be faster.
If you live in Europe and your dashcam is constantly connected to the Cloud, you’ll want to reboot your BlackVue to let it connect to the new server. The process is seamless and does not require users to do anything more.
“I don’t live in Europe. Should I care?”
Users in other areas should also see improvements.
This is due to the fact that users in the European region will now connect to this new server instead of the North American server. As a result, we also expect more responsiveness and less risk of congestion on the US-based server, so every BlackVue Cloud user is benefiting from the change.
More to come
We are already planning to add more servers in the near future to further enhance the BlackVue Cloud experience for all users. We will share the news as we expand our server capacity.
