Troubleshooting Cloud connection status

If your BlackVue dashcam isn’t maintaining a stable Cloud connection, you may lose access to live viewing, push notifications, remote playback, and GPS tracking. Use this comprehensive troubleshooting guide to quickly restore your camera’s Cloud status and regain all features.

Note: Screenshots in this guide are based on the BlackVue app and may vary slightly depending on your camera model or app.

1. Common symptoms of Cloud connection issues

• Camera status shows “Cloud disconnected” in the app or web dashboard

• Live View or Cloud playback fails to load

• No push/event notifications are received

• GPS/location features and remote commands do not work

• Camera appears offline or missing from your device list

2. Essential system checks

A. Power and Internet connectivity

• Check that the dashcam is powered on and vehicle ignition is ON (if hardwired)

• Confirm the Wi-Fi or LTE SIM card is active and providing internet access

• Wi-Fi: Ensure hotspot or router is working; reconnect if needed

• LTE: Make sure SIM is inserted, has data, and shows network bars

B. Camera and app readiness

• Update to the latest dashcam firmware and app version

• Confirm your Cloud subscription is active and your camera is assigned a valid Cloud slot

• Log out of the app and log back in to refresh device status

3. Step-by-step recovery

1. Check in the app:

• Go to Cameras or My Cameras

• Locate camera status icon:

Managing Fleeta members and groups

Effectively organizing and controlling members and groups is essential for making the most of BlackVue Fleeta’s fleet management features. This guide outlines adding and removing members, assigning roles, creating groups, and managing permissions in Fleeta.

Understanding roles in Fleeta

Fleeta uses roles to determine what each user can do:

• Owner: Full control; can create/delete groups, invite or remove members, assign roles, and manage cameras.

• Admin: Manages one group and its dashcams; cannot invite or delete other Admins.

• Driver: Assigned to a single dashcam; has limited access to fleet and group management.

Permission	Admin	Driver
Search/view all members & groups		✘
Invite members (Admin/Driver)	✘	✘
Delete members	✘	✘
Create/delete/rename groups	✘	✘
Assign dashcams to groups or drivers		✘
Assign admins to groups	✘	✘

Adding members

1.Go to Members:
In the Fleeta web or app interface, select “Members” from the sidebar menu.

2.Invite a member:

• Click + Invite Member.

• Enter the member’s email address.

• Choose a role: Admin or Driver (only Owners can invite Admins).

• Click Send Invite.

3.Invitation process:

• The invited member receives an email and must accept within 3 days.

• Pending status is shown until acceptance.

• Expired invitations must be deleted before re-inviting.

Note: The assigned role (Admin or Driver) cannot be changed later. To amend a role, delete and re-invite the member.

Removing members

• To remove a member, select the user from the Members list and click … on the right side of Status column and then tap Delete.

• To batch-remove, tick the box on the left of the Name column to select multiple members and click Delete that appears on the top of the Name column.

• Removing a member also removes their assignments but does not affect other member data.

Creating and managing groups

1.Create a group:

• Go to “Groups” > Add Group.

• Enter a group name and click Add.

2.Assign admins and drivers:

• Open a group from the Groups list.

• Click + Add (Admin section) to appoint an Admin (optional; only one per group)

• Click +Add to add dashcams from the list of dashcams added in the fleet account.

• Assign Drivers to cameras in the group (up to three drivers per camera) by taping the person icon and the list of drivers will appear.

• Assign via checkboxes or search for users/cameras easily.

3.Edit or delete groups:

• To rename or remove a group, use the options on the group’s detail page.

• Deleting a group unassigns but does not delete its members.

Deleting one group

Deleting multiple groups

If a camera or driver is removed from a group, both remain available in the fleet and can be assigned elsewhere.

Handling pending or expired invitations

• Invitations not accepted within 3 days will expire.

• Expired or pending members still occupy a slot—delete them to free up space and resend invitations as needed.

Best practices

• Assign clear roles and group names for easy management.

• Regularly review group membership and reassign or remove users who no longer need access.

• Always delete expired or unaccepted invitations to prevent slot issues.

• For large fleets, use groups to separate teams, vehicles by region, or operational units.

Managing Fleeta members and groups properly ensures secure, organized, and effective oversight of your vehicles and team.
