Hi all,
EDIT: Script and manual update - removed requirement for "recordings" folder, and no more temp files!
EDIT2 (13/08/2017): re-wrote original post...
EDIT3 (11/10/2017): It's taking me a little longer than I hoped to get some features in.. personal life and complexities are getting in the way... sorry guys
EDIT4 (21/03/2018): minor fix to choosing "Normal" recordings from the sub-menu, everything else is still the same
EDIT5 (14/05/2018): minor fix to the shortcut (it was missing a space)
EDIT6 (07/06/2018): replaced the file in the download to the release version rather than the "work in progress" one. If anyone downloaded this since "EDIT5 (14/05)" please re-download it... sorry, my bad
EDIT7 (10/12/2018): Hi, unfortunately due to being time-poor and just general life stuff I'm abandoning this project in terms of development. Feel free to mod it on your own, or take up and continue the project.. sorry peeps..
So this script which I've written allows you to download the videos from your dashcam over your local network. There are a couple of "gotchas" though:
I have also included a manual on how to set up the script, there are a few values that you have to change to suit your environment, but this step is pretty easy, and well covered in the documentation.
If you test this on another camera type other than the one I have, please post which one it works on so others know that they can use it!
The script is still in development, and I'm trying to get it as bug-free as possible, but if you find something stuffs up, please let me know so I can fix it.
some features:
If you think of any features that you'd like included, please feel free to suggest them!
Verified cameras this script works on (so far):
Blackvue DR-650S (& 2CH)
Blackvue DR-750S (& 2CH)
Blackvue DR-650GW (& 2CH)
As always, a disclaimer: This script is provided as is, and is up to your discretion whether to run it or not. Any damage caused is your responsibility alone.

So this script which I've written allows you to download the videos from your dashcam over your local network. There are a couple of "gotchas" though:
- You have to set up the blackvue cloud part of the dashcam to enable the wifi connectivity
- You need to set up a static (unchanging) IP address for the cameras (possibly from your router)
- You need to allow unrestricted/unsigned scripts to run on your computer
I have also included a manual on how to set up the script, there are a few values that you have to change to suit your environment, but this step is pretty easy, and well covered in the documentation.
If you test this on another camera type other than the one I have, please post which one it works on so others know that they can use it!
The script is still in development, and I'm trying to get it as bug-free as possible, but if you find something stuffs up, please let me know so I can fix it.
some features:
- you can setup up to 5 cameras for the script to interact with (this can be increased, just let me know if there is a need and I can accommodate that requirement)
- you can choose what type of recordings you want to download:
- Normal
- Manual
- Event
- Parking
- All
- It uses powershell, so it will work with almost any windows machine (I haven't tested it with the opensource versions for other operating systems)
- It's pretty resource light (at the moment), so you don't need a supa-dupa computer to run it
- It keeps all the original filenames, as well as the gps and g-sensor data, so the desktop app recognises it.
- allow multiple cameras to be downloaded simultaneously (rather than one by one currently)
- allow automatic mode, where the script will continuously run, and monitor for a camera that connects to your wifi, and automatically download the videos
- easier initial folder setup
If you think of any features that you'd like included, please feel free to suggest them!
