Dash camera with live streaming option for cloud

[kiatech]

Hi,

I'm looking for a dash camera with open API for live streaming to the cloud.

I have already know about black Vue dash but I believe they are not providing open API for integration.

thank you.

don't think what you want exists already

You need to think that the smartphone needs to keep alive the Mobile Data connection during the Wireless connection to the dashcam.
Just few smartphones are allowing this because of the most stupid Android limitation ever: not allowing Mobile Data when connected to a SSID by Wi-Fi. In ancient Android 2.3 was possible Hotspot when connected to a SSID but in modern times this is not possible. Very stupid again. I was thinking that only iPhone can have such bad decisions.

enjoy,
Mtz

only need to run a ping to keep a data connection alive

 

[Mtz]

Who?

 

[jokiin]

The device would need to run a continuous ping to keep the data connection active so that it doesn't shutdown off due to inactivity

 

[Mtz]

OK, but I am not sure if Android will work as you explained.

 

[jokiin]

The device you want to have access would need to run the ping, not the phone

 

[Mtz]

Yes, I understand this but if stupid Android is not allowing Wi-Fi connection at the same time with Data connection this will not work. Like I wrote above, on Android 2.3 hotspot could work as wireless repeated and after that this was disabled. So a great thing was possible in the ancient times of Android and now is not.

the device connected to the Android wifi hotspot needs to run a continuous ping to the internet, it keeps the data active

Some new wifi stuff with Android P, but not what Mtz would like i think.
"Android P adds support for the IEEE 802.11mc Wi-Fi protocol - also known as Wi-Fi Round-Trip-Time (RTT) - to let you take advantage of indoor positioning within your apps. Hopefully that will mean less people getting lost in huge malls, hospitals, universities and so on."
