Hi All, Quick question about the date/time. I have a DR500 and has worked well over the last year. The date and time have gone from being current to showing only 1/26/2030 over the past few days. The car is driven about 20 minutes, then turned off. I unplug the unit because I don't have the...

Yep. That was my next option :lol: I was hoping someone here had already done it, and saved me the time :oops: . When I have a chance, I will certainly do as you suggest, and post the results here for everyone.

Hi everyone, Can someone please tell me, in the config.txt file in the CR-500_Parameter folder on the sdcard, what each of these control? Also, what are the parameters for each? :? :? :? I can't find anything doing a search, nor do I see anything here on the forums. I've figured some of...

Spicyperogie, I am having the same problem... Extreme shifts in white balance. Will you please post your outcome. To eveyone else, would the bitrate possibly help? I have my settings at 1080p/30fps and sharpness high. I haven't found anything on the forum about how to change the bitrate...

FSC830, great info, Thanks! I also contacted my reseller (per jokiin). He got back to me straight away. He advised me to reformat the sd card from the computer. He said that if the card is not configured correctly, the recording plays. So, armed with this information and the insights from...

Will do! I'll let you know what I find out. Thanks for the insight and quick replies!!

In trying another card, do I just put the card into the camera, and plug it into the ciggy outlet, or do I need to do something else to the card? I've read on the FW Update forum that sdformatter should be d/l'd. Not sure if I need that since that will wipe everything off of the this card?

Here are the files: Folder: Camcorder Folder: CR-500HD-Parameter Folder: Event Folder: Normal Folder Photo FIle: CR-500HF_Config.exe File: ver.txt

Haven't tried another card yet as the camera only came with one. I did buy a sandisk 32gb that is still in the wrapper. I think the card was already formatted since I have the files on it???? If not, then I've missed a whole step :oops: somewhere. No, the files I could see were not from...

Hi Folks, Just got my CR-500 today (v. 1.00.116) from an authorized reseller. Followed all of the instructions in the box for hooking it up ( micro sd card into dvr, plug into power source in car). I keep getting a "Check your memory card" recording, and that's it. It won't do anything...

Hi Folks, I'm new to the site and getting ready to buy a CR500. I have been looking at the posts here about the firmware and wondering if anybody has d/l'd the 1.01.000 from the finevu website. If so, is it working properly for you? Do they have an english version of it yet? Are the...

Everyone, Thanks so much for the help, insights, thoughts, and links. It is very much appreciated!!!! :D Niko, I've never seen anything like that, but that should do the trick. Thanks for the pics. Tbkonwso1, that's a great idea on the placement. Quarter window out of the way is perfect...

Got it. I was thinking either there, the bottom corners of the windshield, or in the back window. Yep, niko, that is the law. It just says "visible location", so I wanted to get some thoughts on how big and where others were putting theirs.

Howdy! Does anyone living in CA have any pics of the notice they have to put on their vehicles (according to CVC 26708, 13(B))? I'm wondering what sizes you have and where you have them placed. Thanks!
