    Converting to English Firmware

    Hillbilly, first of all I do appreciate your help. However, it was never my intention to go with custom firmware (at least not in the beginning) I got Korean version from astrobile, but speaking English at that time, so I assumed I have 1.005E. When I tried to upgrade to 1.008E (was supposed to...

    Converting to English Firmware

    From what I understood, there is no way back now. Once Korean 1.008 installed it cannot be downgraded to 1.005E (or K) I did not try to go with custom software, but based on the custom fw document you have to downgrade first, which is not an option. By the way, pittasoft.com appears to be down...

    Converting to English Firmware

    Guys, I've got 1.008 Korean version. Followed instructions in this thread, but no matter what I do, still get "version information is different". I tried to format card with sdformatter (full (erase)), installed 1.008E, changed English to Korea, upgrade starts. Once done, I hear "version...

    Blackvue DR500GW cannot read plates?

    Thanks for the video! Huge difference with what I have. I tried to clean window, play with settings. Still all objects in front are out of focus unless I figurally in the bumper of the car in front of me. Will try to exchange. Certainly focus problem with my camera.

    Blackvue DR500GW cannot read plates?

    Yeah, it's a huge difference. Seems to be quite a few of those cameras are defective with focus issues (due to fixed focus lens incorrectly installed ?) I wish I bought directly from Blackvue, but I did not. Will keep you posted if astrobile.com will honor warranty. Meanwhile, I found...

    Blackvue DR500GW cannot read plates?

    I am still playing with various settings and I am not sure it's totally crappy camera yet. I just truly believe it's not 1080p/30fps camera. The fact a software developer allocated buffer to hold 1920x1080 pixels does not mean hardware is capable of doing this 30 times a second. Take a look at...

    Blackvue DR500GW cannot read plates?

    Time for some images. I would appreciate if anybody can explain how 1080p/30fps camera can produce such a crappy images. Is it too much to ask to see license plate of a car 2-3 meters ahead of you? If I knew what kind of crap this camera is, I would probably take some cheap chinese version with...

    Blackvue DR500GW cannot read plates?

    I have recently installed DR500GW and have exactly same problem. I am wondering if somebody could post images of the *american* license plates 2-3 meters ahead. The video looks bright, but all license plates are out of focus and I seriously doubt about 1080p/30fps claimed by the company. iPhone...
