SG9663DC beeping

Thanks kamkar! the least time on my shutdown timer is 2 hours, but that's fine. Like you I'm not using parking mode. what about firmware version?
 
At 2:38 i go to firmware version in my video it is one of the last menu items, i am on 1.49 which i think are the newest one.
It can be downloaded here. http://bit.ly/SG9663DCfirmwareV1-49
 
when I click on that link, nothing happens. is the firmware I have already ok? I don't know how to download it to my camera
 
You are probably okay, what version do your camera say ?

This is how to update firmware from the text document that come with it.
The firmware come as a ZIP file ( zip mean it is compressed to save space ) so first you have to "unzip" or extract the file.

• Extract the zipped firmware file downloaded from our website
• Delete any files from the memory card
• Copy the firmware SG9663DC.bin file to the empty memory card (linux users rename file to SG9663DC.BIN)
• Insert the card to camera
• Connect to power (do not disconnect power at any time during update process)
• Camera will power on, screen will remain blank while updating
• Once update has finished camera will startup as per normal
• Stop any active recording
• Enter settings menu and format the memory card
• Enter settings menu and reset default settings
• Any personalised settings will then need to be re-entered
• If using GPS ensure time is synced before use, (format the memory card again after the time has synced)
• Process is complete
 
It says, SG 20180726_V1.32 If it's working, that's all that matters, right?

I have a video uploading on how to DL and update, but i don't know captain said the link to the 1.49 file in the beta thread dident work earlier.
But it work just fine for me.
 
Download link works for me.

Here is the main download url that bit ly redirects to

 
I can understand the last part after you insert the card in the camera, but the first part is not clear. Do I take my card and put it in the adapter, and into my computer to download to the card?

card put into adaptor, put into pc, unzip the firmware file and copy the .bin file to the root of the card, eject card, put in camera, start camera up and wait a minute or two for it to start up.
 
Im sorry i was not able to takl you thru that part, i gave my friend my headset a little while ago so i dont have a microphone for my computer, the only sound i have are also the weak speakers in my monitor.
 
The video is not good too. I just wanted to know how to download. Wozzzza told me. Do you ever drive to the shore? A video would be nice.

Please talk me through what to do step by step after I put the card in the computer...how to unzip firmware file then copy etc... what to click on...
 
right click on the zip file, extract all, copy the firmware bin file to your empty memory card, put the card in the camera and power it on, firmware update will run
 
How do I empty/delete my memory card? When I put it in it shows short video clips...
 
just highlight all the files on the card (CTRL + A if you're a Windows user will select all files on the card) and then hit the Delete key
 
I think I finally did it. Just to make sure, when I scroll down in the menu to format, what do I click on to format it, just the record button??
 
I did that. I scrolled down to format and hit the emergency button. The blue highlighted format didn't move. It started recording. Is that it? How do I know it's formated? And will I have to format it again down the road??
