First, I think we need a Forum Category for Aftermarket Accessories..
Does anyone have the DR900 BlackVue Cloud working? I assume it's the same for the 750 and back, etc.. But the 900 is my first BlackVue purchase, and likely my last - if there's no simple answer to my question..
I created a BV cloud account and enabled the blackvue cloud on the device. I chose my router's SSID in the firmware options and left the password blank - there is no security on that router and it is internet connected. My MS connects to it in the garage all the time.
After rebooting, I use my phone with the latest BlackVue Cloud Viewer App installed and it cannot connect. I never get a list of the videos sitting on the BV. Even though I have registered the camera, it never shows as available (blue).
Is there something else the BV instructions should be telling me? Do I need some type of port forwarding? I saw some post about setting a DNS entry in my router for 8.8.8.8 - that sounds pretty ridiculous, but I tried it anyway - No joy.
The other thing I noticed is that the 900 will eventually (5 min?) revert back to its original hotspot for direct WiFi connection from a phone. It gives me the impression that it *is* connecting, but then timing out and reverting back to its built in hotspot for communicating to the phone directly via WiFi.
What gives!?
