Remote video access, monitoring, and download, as well as camera settings modifications, are only possible if a hotspot is tied with your Cloud-compatible BlackVue camera (DR650GW Series, DR650S Series, DR750S Series, DR750X LTE Series, DR750X Series*, DR750-2CH LTE*, DR900S Series, DR900X Series*, DR750X Plus Series*, DR900X Plus Series*, DR750X-2CH Series*, DR770X Series*, DR970X Series*, DR770X LTE Series, DR970X LTE Series, and DR770X BOX Series*).
*DR750X and DR900X camera models come with an optional LTE Connectivity Module (CM100-LTE) as a portable hotspot. DR750-2CH LTE and DR750X LTE cameras have a built-in WiFi module into which a SIM Card can be inserted to activate Cloud.
*The CM100-LTE connectivity module was succeeded by the CM100G-LTE module in 4Q 2022.
NOTE:
Older camera models may not have the same settings as the information available is based on the latest camera model releases. This setting applies to Cloud-compatible camera models only.
