I have been using the BlackVue DR900S-2CH for several months, and in the BlackVue Mac Viewer program I have seen live images from other cameras.
I was interested in an inscription on them: "CadillacFleetwood77" or "MK16USJ" or "Mercedes-WP660KJ".
How can make such an enlarged inscription?
What should I enter in the config.ini file in the position:
"userString = CadillacFleetwood77"
to make this text as big as on the screen.
Greetings,

Try “user text overlay” in Settings>Firmware>System

I know that it is possible to write there but I meant this typeface. What to enter in the config.ini file in the position:
userString = CadillacFleetwood77
for this text to be as big as on a screenshot.
 
I think it's caused by the lower resolution of the stream (same as time stamp, camera model). Just try to look at your LiveView.
 
These are screenshots with live view.(y)

and here is another D750 camera with a completely different font?

I bet the font is the same, it's only narrowed. But how the owner managed that is a mystery to me - different(older/newer) firmware?

I notice there are some characters not allowed < and > these are commonly used in web page design. Perhaps something like
<font size="5">my hot car</font> might work
 
The config.ini file has the following structure:
*
[Tab3]
...
mileLimit=0
userString=CadillacFleetwood77
[Wifi]
ap_ssid=
...

How to enlarge the font of the text "CadillacFleetwood77"

Short answer: you can't.

But you should probably log your request with Blackvue's customer support, and they'll add it to the list of enhancement requests. I wouldn't hold my breath though. :)
 
I wonder how the owners of these cars managed to do it as I presented it in the attached screenshots at the beginning of this post?

If you look at your examples, the text bar at the bottom is opaque. My bet is a different or older firmware version.
