BLACKVUE CLOUD API
—OR— FLEET SDK
WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
The BlackVue Cloud API and Fleet SDK
are both designed for integration of BlackVue dashcams
into third-party fleet management or GPS tracking solutions.
They do differ greatly in their implementation and features, though.
How to decide which one you need?
FEATURES
Fleet SDK
Deep customization and control
With the Fleet SDK, you get access to an array of exclusive features and control how the BlackVue dashboard cameras communicate with your vehicles’ on-board telematics.
Cloud API
Access to BlackVue Cloud features
With the Cloud API, you can connect your fleet software to BlackVue’s trusted Cloud platform powered by Amazon Web Services. Simply enhance your existing solution with live video and video files from the BlackVue dashcams.
INTEGRATION
Fleet SDK
Locally connect to the dashcam
With the Fleet SDK, your on-board telematics device connects directly to the dashcam via Wi-Fi. It is up to you to connect to the dashcam remotely using your own existing network infrastructure.
Cloud API
Connect to BlackVue’s Cloud server
With the Cloud API, your software program connects to the BlackVue Cloud server. The BlackVue dashcam must be connected to the Cloud via a Wi-Fi internet access point.

To summarize, the Cloud API provides a simple way to access videos and view live footage from your dashcams over the Cloud right from your fleet management application.
If you want to deeply integrate the BlackVue dashcams into your solution and need to keep all data transmissions within your own network infrastructure, the Fleet SDK will provide the tools you need.
