The Zip files just contain the installer EXEs, which were digitally signed by Pitasoft. So definitely legit. And if they'd been infected in some way, the digital signature check would have failed. So Google was probably talking out its ass again. :) I'll look at options to store them somewhere...

Luckily, I managed to grab them all in time. And it looks like 3.15 is the sweet spot in terms of minimal bugginess. Mighty suspicious timing though. Makes me wonder if somebody here squealed. :mad:

That's awesome, thanks. I never understand why Blackvue doesn't maintain their own repository, especially given that they seem incapable of NOT introducing a new bug for each one they fix. I stopped updating my camera firmware because of that, constant chasing of new bugs. :-|

I had 3.11 installed, which has a bug that I can't change the playback speed. Annoying, but I wasn't really following releases much because I don't use it often. Eventually I looked, and 3.16 was out. The good news is the playback-speed bug is fixed. The bad news is now it crashes trying to...

You're looking for a cigarette lighter to USB adapter? They're dime-a-dozen. Grab one from Amazon. Something that puts out 3A at 5V should do the trick. What you describe with your car stereo isn't uncommon. It wants to use the USB port to play music from a thumbdrive. It sees what looks like a...

My BlackVue 750S-2CH is about/over 5 years old now and still going strong. Even on the original microSD. It replaced a 650S-2CH that died in the first year. However, I had to back out a few firmware updates, and I'm still on (I believe) 1.14 since it just works.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32860140178.html is what I used before I installed the MultiSafer (precursor to the Powermagic).

When there's a recording in process, the camera needs to get a buffer of video, and then save it to a file. The problem with trying to keep one file open and record continuously into it is that if there's the slightest problem or power glitch, the entire file is corrupted and lost. Dashcams...

Is that an extra colon after the word 'dashcam' there? That doesn't look right to me. Then the '/recordings' part after is being misinterpreted by the API call.

I use BitWarden (password manager). Works like a charm to populate username/password. BitWarden itself uses (or can use) biometrics to access the database. I hadn't used the app in a while, so I just upgraded (v3.35), logged in using BitWarden, and it just worked. Subsequent app starts didn't...

I originally wrote my own software to download from my 750S, which does much the same as the various other packages that arrived later. When I pull into my driveway, my 750 connects to the home WiFi, the software recognizes that it's connected, and sucks down all new videos (with some deletion...

A recent model GoPro can get video of that caliber. The stabilization and horizon-levelling of the GoPro Hero 10 is pretty darn cool, no gimbal required. And it can do 5.3k video. The problem is, everybody knows that GoPros aren't intended for, and in fact are not really good at, super-long-term...

The BlackVue Viewer for Windows can be used to view your video sequences after downloading. With my own downloader (I wrote my own that is a slightly minimalist version of BVD), I separate the downloads into folders by date. Then I fire up the BV Viewer using the "SD Card Viewer", select a...

Here are the raw specs for the camera module referenced in the Ali ad: http://www.camera-module.com/product/2mpcameramodule/2mp-sony-imx307-camera-module-low-illumination.html I'm not seeing anything in the specs that would indicate 2k (2560x1440). So, yeah, the Ali ad appears to have incorrect...

If I'm understanding your goal correctly, most people trying to do what you describe would likely use an "action camera" (GoPro, etc) mounted outside the vehicle. Depending on where you mount it, you can minimize bits of the vehicle in the shot and also classic problems like windshield...

You're going to have a bit of a voltage drop inside the PMP. The circuit that's measuring what it thinks is your battery voltage is likely going to see less than what you'll see measuring at the battery with a voltmeter. I'd expect easily a half-Volt difference, maybe more. Try setting the PMP...

BlackVue with WiFi, and one of the 3rd-party software packages you can find on this site will do that. I'd imagine cameras that allow a USB hookup (BlackVue doesn't) would just show up as a drive letter on your laptop, and you'd need a simple script to copy files to the laptop drive on a regular...

All dashcams have a limit to the length of individual recordings, because if something bad happens while an output file is open, the entire recording will be lost. In the "old days", dashcams opened the file for output and just left it open for long periods of time. If the vehicle was in an...

There are a few apps mentioned in the forums here that basically wait for your camera to connect to WiFi when you get home, and suck down all of the new recordings to your PC for offline viewing. I have one I wrote for myself, but a few people have shared theirs and made them somewhat more...
