Today I decided to check if there are any B2W updates. I found two firmware on the site: for IPS screen version (No. 1) and TFT screen version (No. 2).

Since No. 1 is more recent - I decided to update B2W. As a result, I got a white screen. Repeated firmware on version No. 2 returned everything to its place.

PS: it would be nice to explain to users which firmware is suitable for their version of B2W.

Under the inscription B2W V20190726 actually lies the firmware 190927_E_V02


And please do not forget to format the micro-SD card after update the firmware:

Are any firmware updates expected?

What is your suggestion then?
We use a more visible IPS screen for the new batches, that is why you cannot load the newer version firmware if it was an older B2W with TFT screen!

Thank you, but how can a user distinguish a B2W with an IPS screen? What are the differences - in appearance or serial number?

Firmware Version only! The firmware dated with 20190726 is the old batch B2W!

If I can bump this, I think what Leonauto was asking is how a user is supposed to know the difference between an old-batch TFT version vs the newer IPS screen cameras.

I'm familiar with those technologies but a user might not be able to understand the difference in viewing angles. Is there a serial number or design feature they can check?

Edit: Checking the firmware version, it shows IPS. I'm guessing on the older version it won't say anything?
