Wondering what BlackVue does?
BlackVue is first and foremost a dashcam brand. However, BlackVue does more than designing and manufacturing dashcams.
Since its early days, BlackVue thrived to create the ultimate dashcam ecosystem encompassing hardware, software and accessories.
Dashcams:
BlackVue dashcams are divided in three main categories:
- Cloud dashcams (DR900S, DR750S Series)
- Wi-Fi dashcams (DR590W Series)
- Simple dashcams (DR590, DR490 Series)
Then spanning those three categories you can find special-purpose models such as taxi dashcams with interior infrared rear camera (like DR750S-2CH IR) or models with a waterproof infrared rear camera for trucks and heavy vehicles (DR750S-2CH TRUCK).
Accessories:
The range of BlackVue accessories started with Power Magic Pro–still a mainstay–originally created by BlackVue as a solution to prevent car battery drain during Parking Mode (early dashcams users would simply hardwire the dashcam to the battery). Now accessories are comprised of:
- Parking Mode Add-Ons (Power Magic Pro / Battery Pack / Ultra Battery)
- Tamper-Proof Cases
- Other accessories (spare cables, microSD cards, mounts)
Software:
Starting originally with a Windows Viewer program, BlackVue was the first company to develop a dedicated dashcam viewer for Mac OS computers.
With the launch of the DR500GW in 2013, BlackVue introduced the BlackVue App for iOS and Android, to allow users to browse and download videos to their phone.
Currently, the BlackVue software offering includes:
- BlackVue Viewer (Windows / Mac OS X)
- BlackVue Viewer Pro (Windows, for BlackVue Fleet Tracking)
- BlackVue App (iOS / Android)
Services:
In 2015, BlackVue launched BlackVue Cloud, the first Cloud service for dashcam. Its free tier allows users to receive Push Notification alerts in case a connected dashcam senses an impact (useful in Parking Mode) and see Remote Live View footage from their BlackVue from anywhere, anytime with the BlackVue App. Later, BlackVue built upon its Cloud infrastructure a Fleet Tracking service to track multiple vehicles, back up videos remotely, set up geo-fences and receive related alerts.
