Over the past week, Pittasoft has released two firmware updates for all of the DR970X and DR970X Plus series dash cameras.
I’ve noticed what appears to be a bug with the latest firmware releases for the DR970X-2CH Box v1.004 and the DR970X v1.010 firmware (possibly others).
The first frame that contains a status line in the first time-lapse parking mode video file will have a “stale” date/time value from the past. The next frame will then have the “correct” date/time value.
This example is from a DR970X-2CH Box with v1.004 firmware. The timestamp of 17:52:22 is incorrect for this first frame in the time-lapse parking mode file. The filename is 20240711_180521_PF.MP4 so the time shouldn’t be 17:52:22.
The screenshots show the status line timestamp and just below that is the video filename displayed by the video player.
The next frame has the correct date/time:
In this case, the powered up the DR970X Box dash camera, the car was stationary for 5-minutes which allowed it to go into parking mode. The vehicle moved which had the DR970X Box exit parking mode, but I happened to be driving over a sidewalk curb to exit my driveway which triggered an impact event (IF/IR files). The timestamp that first appears in the impact videos is 17:52:21.
This next example is from a DR970X-2CH with firmware v1.010 installed.
The 09:28:40 time is when the previous switch from time-lapse parking mode to normal recording mode occurred.
The next frame has the “correct” date/time value.
I've sent an email to Pittasoft support about this issue including video files from these two examples.
