Hi all,
Check out Blackvue Downloader's New Website:
Here:
http://www.gizmocoding.com/
Windows Store Link:
https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9PG28QPV6866
Stepping of the shoulders of others who figured out the Blackvue communication I have created a Windows Taskbar App to automatically download new video files in the background.
The aim of this app is to run forever on a logged in Windows only server/computer somewhere in your home/work network.
It will check for the presence of a Blackvue Dashcam connected to Wifi and automatically download the video files whenever it becomes available.
Obviously given the time this takes - a Dashcam using a Battery would be ideal.
You will need to ideally give / set your Dashcam with a static IP address so this will not change.
The rest should be straight-forward.
The app should manage any number of Dashcams at the same time; via separate threads. Just enter the IP Address as a comma-separated field.
Will flesh out these instructions as time passes - but should be pretty straight-forward.
The app creates a log in the %appdata% BlackvueDownloader directory - will will give further information if any issues. (If enable debug logging button appears to open log directory)
Download, unzip, run and the above window should appear - for first time setup.
Settings above -
IP Address for Cameras eg. 192.168.1.252,192.168.1.251
Save Directory - click the Select button to choose directory. Single Directory for all cameras.
Time interval - in minutes amount of time between checks for connection of all Dashcams
Number of Days of Data to Keep - will delete ANY file older than this in the Save directory above (so don't share this directory with other uses)
Confirm Delete - self - explanatory
Can try the Connect Button if Dashcam currently live and connected.
Otherwise and after above:
Press Save and Continue - and will save settings and begin time checks when due.
In the Windows taskbar - the Blackvue Icon will appear - this also gives a right click menu
Cheers
Glenn
