Blueskysea B1W dashcam

Yes......I am pretty sure it worked one time for me. I had the camera displaying via the app on my phone, removed the cam from the mount, and flipped it. I have not had drink in a long time. :)
Well, I may be having a drink ;), but I've just checked the auto-rotate and it is working on my B1W:
 
Hi all - re Remote view access

Have read the thread with interest and am close to buying one or two of these, but have one quick question.....

If you are road side, away from WiFi, can you view the recording on your phone by tethering the dash cam to your phone, or can you only do so when you have access to WiFi?

Cheers

Lightning deal: $39.99 on Amazon US. https://www.amazon.com/gp/B0773FXVKL
 
Lightning deal looks good. Only 39 minutes left and 63% claimed.
 
Seems like the file should be named cfg.bin or cfg.txt and most likely its loading is disabled in fw.
It did not work, the settings file remained on the card.
As I understand, the main names for the boot files are:
Code:
cardvr_img.bin......................Update Firmware Start
sound.bin...........................Update sound Start
CARDVRUI.BIN........................Update UI Start
default_cfg.bin.....................Update cfg Start
focusing.bin........................???

This is why I mentioned this "flip" would not be available until end of January AND involves adding an "auto flip sensor", per estore009, here: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/have-a119-but-which-next-yi-b1w-a119.32339/page-3#post-382790

Maybe the flip will work with some newer cams, but older ones are different? OR... the manufacturer is correct and it needs extra hardware to work?
But that would not explain TonyM's success.

Confused.

AFAIK, I have an 'older' model from Nov2017. Maybe the orientation sensor was already there in all the cameras? (apart from dash riposki's?! :confused:)
 
Thanks all

Any recommendations for a hardwire kit suitable for this cam (I am in the UK)
I think the UK J10 Qashqai needs a specific mini or micro fuse.....researching that today, but can anyone confirm?

Many thanks

I have recently ordered one of these for my B1W camera:
eBay 12V to 5V Hard Wire Adapter Cable Micro USB
this item has not yet arrived but I should receive it in the next few days.

However, as I already have a hard wire kit installed but with a mini USB (because I used to use a G1WC camera with a mini USB power connector) I also purchased one of these:
Universal Adapter Charging Data Cables Micro USB TO HDMI 2.0 Mini A 5 Pin Female To Micro B Male Converter Cord Phone Plug Cable
I have received this item and arrived quite quickly. This adapter now connects and works fine with with the mini USB hard wire kit I already have installed.

From what I have seen the J10 Qashqai uses ATO and Mini fuses. Most likely you will be using Mini-type fuse piggy back. Just in case open fuse box and check which exact fuse you will be using.

@estore009 mentioned this "flip" would not be available until end of January AND involves adding an "auto flip sensor", here: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/have-a119-but-which-next-yi-b1w-a119.32339/page-3#post-382790

Is it confirmed this firmware only update with cause the image to flip when the lens is rotated 180?
@dash riposki says his has, so I assume this update will flip the image on ALL B1Ws ever sold?

@Mark S-H - in your post #110 on this thread, with Beta firmware update, you gave the warning:
"PLEASE NOTE:
This Beta firmware is not official release and is for testing purposes only.
Please use at your own risk or contact your camera seller for help."


@estore009 then added in post #113: "Some users were involved in test works for me,thanks for all !But this Beta newer software need to be refined,so,please do not spread its beta firmware now!Thanks for understanding!" (in response to @TonyM asking for an official download site).

Could Mark S-H or estore009 please advise if the most recent firmware update in post #148 is official, and also for my understanding, why it is that Mark S-H is posting updates here rather than estore009 directing us to their own update site? Is Mark S-H an agent for blueskysea?

Many thanks, I'm just a little confused by who does what, and who says what is official!
@Mark S-H you are a very warm-heart user for B1W testing works,thanks!
I plan to post new 20180103s firmware here by myself if we received no bug report from my tester;
Since many users updated this firmware already now,please feel free to PM me if any questions!

Confused.
Auto-flip works on all B1W cameras;
 
I too received this latest FW by PM from estore009.

I've been out driving today and hope to be able to comment later on any image quality updates, plus the auto rotate feature.
Thanks for testing,and please PM me if any questions!
 
Yesterday I installed a new firmware 180103s (with Wi-Fi is ON)
There are no problems with the operation of the B1W
Comparison B1W with Street Storm A7810G-Pro(A7LA70+OV4689) (EV -0.7) and DOD LS460W (EV 0.0)

The exposure compensation on this firmware is markedly reduced and is probably about -0.7
 
So, ordered one and a hardwire kit from Amazon. Will try fit it myself next weekend.
You tube install into a QQ viewed and it doesnt look / shouldn't bring that different to fitting the folding mirror mod I did a while back.
Will report back
 
App store updated the app today also. IOS App Version updated to V1.0.5.
