There is an option to enter a car number into the camera. When the display is on, the car number shows at the top of the screen Is there any way to get that number to show up in the video?
I still can't get this to work. When viewing on the back of the camera display, it shows the car number at the top, but it doesn't appear anywhere in the video.
on some firmware versions the settings are all or nothing which is why I asked, if it's not showing up though it's not something you're doing wrong, it's a firmware problem
ok, unlikely this is the original version, you might be lucky and be able to run the firmware off the original version though which could get those functions working for you
I bought this camera from Amazon thinking it was made by BlackBoxMyCar.com, but the one I bought is a cheap knockoff and has been programmed with a different firmware that did not allow GPS.
@BlackboxMyCar is not a manufacturer, just a reseller. The b40/a118 is a generic camera with no official brand name. If a company orders a large enough quantity to resell, the factory will print the seller's "brand" on it for them as well.
