Hi all,
I just received my first Blackvue dash cam (dr900s-2ch). This dash cam should replace a viofo 119s v2. However, my first impressions are not that great if I'm honest.
However, maybe I'm overlooking some stuff and everything is not that bad, so far I have two questions:
1) Is there a way to extract the gps paths from a video file (e.g. get a GPX or KML file out of it)?
2) Is it possible to increase the video length to be >1 minute (ideally 10-30 minutes)?
I've downloaded the Blackvue SD card Viewer and looked in the settings, Although I do see a line which states the length of the video, it's grayed out and I can't seem to change it.
I also looked in the config.ini file on the sd card itself. Found "recordTime" and changed the value to 5. However, this did not increase the length of the video.
Other things I came across so far:
- Wifi SSID not broadcasted (properly?), there is another thread on it, I'll try to see if I can get it to work, but it wasn't a great start so to speak.
- The microsd to USB adapter that came in the package is rather low quality.. Why would you put such a thing in there at all? It's a USB 2.0 (max ~20Mb/sec) for a card than is supposed to handle way higher file transfers. Assume someone would get a 128gb sd card with the camera, it would take him/her almost 2 hours to copy over the sd card contents. Why not add in a microsd to sdcard adapter, or both (microsd to usb3 adapter) if you really want to do it right? For a dash cam that costs ~500 EUR (or more depending on the memory card that comes with it) you would expect a bit more quality imho.
Anyway, I'm not giving up on this dash cam just yet, I still hope to get everything working in a way that I'm comfortable with it.
