[TUTORIAL] BlackVue Seamless Pairing

With the recent firmware update V1.003 for DR750X Plus Series, we introduced the new Seamless Pairing for the first time. You maybe wondering what's the benefit for this feature...

BEFORE:
Without Seamless Pairing, users who want to access their dashcam’s files over Wi-Fi have to first connect to the dashcam from their phone’s Wi-Fi network menu. That means scanning available Wi-Fi networks, then manually entering the dashcam’s Wi-Fi password. Then, they can go back to the BlackVue App to access the dashcam via the “Connect to camera” menu. However, even after closing the BlackVue app, the phone stays connected to the dashcam, which can cause the users’ phone to lose internet connectivity.

NOW WITH EASIER DIRECT WIFI CONNECTION
With Seamless Pairing, you just need to directly access the BlackVue App every time to connect to your dashcam. (without the need to access the WiFi's menu of phone OS). As soon as you close the app, the connection will cut automatically to the dashcam so you don't lose your internet on your phone. 

​How to set up?

1) Download the latest BlackVue app V3.24 or higher (for Android OS or iOS).
2) Seamless pairing supports the following dashcam models and updated firmware (*as of 15 Sep 2021):
  a) DR750X Plus series (V1.003)
  b) DR750-2CH LTE (V1.008)
  c) DR750X series (V1.008)
  d) DR900X series (V1.008)

If you have other dashcam models, please skip to option B).

To enjoy the Seamless Pairing, please follow the step-by-step guide to get it setup for the first time.

A) Seamless pairing support for DR750X Plus, DR750-2CH LTE, DR750X and DR900X series *

If you are unable to search your dashcam in step 4, please make sure you are within 5 metres from your dashcam with WiFi and Bluetooth switched on. If problem still persists, please go to option B) instead. 

8) To connect to the dashcam again, tap on the BlackVue app and select the dashcam name to establish the WiFi connection without leaving the BlackVue app. 

B) Connect to camera manually for all dashcam models with WiFi

If you are on Android devices and unable to connect in step 8, please try to switch off the mobile data on your phone menu and try again. 

11) To connect to the dashcam again, tap on the BlackVue app and select the dashcam name to establish the WiFi connection without leaving the BlackVue app. 

[TIPS] Where to locate the WIFI SSID/ Password and Proximity sensor?

Note: You can also find the WiFI SSID and password inside the packaging box of the dashcam. More information is available here >.

SIMPLIFIED CLOUD SETUP

Seamless pairing also simplify the way to connect your dashcam to the Cloud!
Without Seamless Pairing, connecting your dashcam to the Cloud involves more steps that we would like. This is why Seamless Pairing is such a welcome feature. It makes the whole process as hassle-free and straightforward as possible. In fact, you no longer have to go to the “Connect to camera” menu. You can complete all the required steps straight from the “Connect to Cloud” menu of the app:

1. In the BlackVue App, open the “Connect to Cloud” menu.
2. Create a Cloud account if needed. You can use your Apple or Google account to connect even more easily.
3. Once logged in, in the Camera list, tap the “+” button to add your dashcam.
   • With a dashcam that does not support Seamless Pairing, this step involves scanning your dashcam’s QR code or entering its Cloud code manually.
   • With Seamless Pairing, the app will get access to all the information it needs from the dashcam during the pairing process.
4. Follow the same steps as with the “Connect to camera” menu.
5. Finally, you will be asked to choose a Cloud connection method:
   • BlackVue Built-in LTE or Connectivity Module: choose this if you are going to connect your dashcam to the Cloud using the CM100LTE or its built-in SIM reader. Make sure a valid data SIM card is inserted.
   • Wi-Fi hotspot device: choose this if you are going to connect your dashcam to the Cloud using a third-party mobile Wi-Fi router.
6. Follow the instructions to activate the SIM card or register your Wi-Fi hotspot credentials and the dashcam will automatically connect after applying the new settings.

1) BlackVue Built-in LTE or LTE Connectivity Module

Choose this if you are going to connect your dashcam to the Cloud using the CM100LTE or its built-in SIM reader. Make sure a valid data SIM card is inserted.

2) Wi-Fi hotspot device
