Talk:BlackVue

Clarifications.

Have they "removed the broadcast feature entirely?". I'm reading that they removed the feature from the app, but " But [journalists] were still able to view the locates and live streams of BlackVue dashcams in New Zealand and the U.S and listen inside the vehicle as well".

Re. "Seven CVEs across two product lines remain un-patched or were only acknowledged after public disclosure" : Rewrite? This sentence reads as vague and inflammatory, rather than appropriately damning. ( "un-patched" for months is serious, but "were only acknowledged after public disclosure" is often an appropriate, if its public acknowledgment withheld for a reasonable amount of time while a patch is developed. And the cites don't quite back up the claims, though probably other citations in the article could back up those or similar claims.

Let's say that "Major and critical security issues privately disclosed to the company were handled terribly." and

"Privacy settings were set to make streamed audio, video and location data publicly and continuously available by default and far from properly disclosed as such for years. " , with appropriate citations?

Good point, and thanks. It is presently unclear if this feature has been removed, or will be in the future. Also, whether it will apply worldwide or only in Australia. I will keep an eye on reporting and edit the article with additional clarifications and references (there are none that I can find as of today - 2nd July 2026). Others can feel free to do the same.

I've updated the article to more accurately reflect the current status based on the references cited. Please see the changelog for details. Dawsman (talk) 05:04, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
