Highscreen Black Box Radar-HD Firmware Update. Updating the firmware Highscreen Black Box Radar-HD Procedure for correcting the error of the incorrect recording of the current time

Procedure for correcting the error of incorrect recording of the current time.

According to the results of testing the Highscreen Black Box Radar-HD devices in the field, it was found that some of them retain a video recording, in which, does not match the current trip. According to the developers, they also found a similar error on some devices after the goods have already been shipped to us. They offer the following error correction procedure:

Copy to some folder on your computer binary firmware file (SQ680_FW5.5C_DTL_HIGHSCREEN_4KEY_AP_OV9712_.BIN), presented in the application.
Remove the memory card from the device and connect it to the computer.
Start the player - (file highplayer.exe), located on the card.
Press the "Settings" button on the player control panel.

In the menu that opens, select "Download Firmware". The program will ask to confirm the selected action. Click on the "Yes" button.

In the folder and file list that opens, select the file that you copied first, and click on the "Open" button. The file will be copied to the card.

Remove the card from the card reader and insert it into the device.
Next, you need to connect the power cord of the device. If you do not have a network converter (220V / 12V), the firmware update can be performed in the car. In the extreme case, you can use the USB / Mini-USB cable bundled. When using this cable to update the firmware, it should be connected to the MINI-USB connector ("USB Upgrasde") located on the bottom panel of the device.
Insert the power cord into the on-board or network adapter with a voltage of 12V or connect USB cable. Press and hold the "MODE" button on the device. Insert the cable plug into the device power connector ("DC12-24V"). On the LCD screen of the device will appear a picture of the screensaver and the inscription "FW Updating ..." will light up.

At the end of the update, the following content will be on the screen:

"FW UPDATE OK. Press Any Key to Restart "- Update Completed, press any device button to restart.

After updating the firmware, the problem with incorrect time recording should disappear.

If earlier the DVRs seasoned from year to year, caught with linear dimensions, the screen diagonal and the resolution of the matrix, then now distinguished the return trends - each next model is less than the previous one. Compactness and elegance - trend season. But it became more and more to appear devices with unexpected and seem to be an unusual functional recorder - radar detectors, GPS modules and even navigators began to be allowed. But to the new device from Highscreen - the Black Box registrar, "WiFi screwed and he became Black Box Connect.

By itself, the apparatus is square, small and cute:

In the center of the lens, trying to look more than it is, from the bottom button to enable recording, on the side of the power button and WiFi:

From another end - a connector under the memory card and USB, it is the same power connector:

It feeds the gadget on USB, from the car charger to the cigarette lighter, which has a second connector - the smartphone is charged. It is good because your smartphone will need.

The device is fastened to the suction cup by snaping into the guide:

It keeps well, without a backlash, removed with a noticeable, but not excessive force. Guides included Al Three:

One is screwed to the suction cup, the other with a ring is to cling to the lace:

And the third - with a magnetic:

This allows you to attach the device on the refrigerator door and finally find out who is eager for the night, without sparing your health!

Rear indication of four modes light bulbs - and no screen. Somehow it, you know, unusual. And how to configure the shooting angle? And how to show a couch, that he is not right and you did not do at all of what you are ashamed now? But for this and Wi-Fi, Yeah.

The practical use of this device must necessarily require you to have a smartphone. I have here just on the test tribal Highscreen Alpha. R (read it the other day) - but will come down even award iphone. In a friendly Google or enemy Appstor there is a free Unieye program that can connect to this wifi recorder. Detects it as a separate network:

And, by connecting, you suddenly discover the image of myself looking at yourself, which looks at yourself:

Apotheosis of self-visor.

Actually, everything is configured through this program, no screen on the device is needed:

The network can be gone to pass, so that no one spikes from your camera - Well, your personal business, who opens the refrigerator at night and why! Maybe there is an important secret documents! In the sausage are hidden.

In general, the program allows you to receive a signal from four cameras, so you can buy several Highscreen Black Box Connect devices at once and arrange a circular overview from the car or like a security video system for the apartment. Moreover, if you can admire this magnificence of meters from 20-30 in the apartment and house 50 in the open area, then through the Internet - in general, from anywhere. To do this, the device is able to broadcast the video stream on the USTREAM cloud video service:

Directly in the program setting creates an account, connect the service, and ...

Dance a little with a tambourine. And a little more. And yet ... But then everything is finally settled:

Now you may go to self-discuss via the Internet, sore roaring and put the horns to your head. True, the lagging of the picture is a phase of 10-15 seconds, so that this occupation looks slightly schizophrenically.

I, I immediately came up with the possible use of this system - hang the camera outside the window in the country and, sitting in the city, watch the apples fall from the trees. However, I have there, though Wi-Fi, but through 3G, and a constantly working camcorder will devour all mobile traffic. But technically fully implemented, why there is no. At the same time, you can save the device from any smartphone power supply with an exit to the microSB lace exit - the inner battery (700 mAh) with the WiFheat turned on is only about an hour.

However, we will not forget that the Highscreen Black Box Connect device is first positioned after all the same as a car DVR, and let's see what it represents in this capacity.

Technical data Cameras are not impressive - one megapixel, CMOS sensor with a quarter-inch diagonal. This lone megapixel gives a resolution of the shooting of HD 1280 x 720 points - what is no longer mainstream. The fact is that the broadcast on Wi-Fi imposes inevitable technical restrictions - to transmit full-HD video streams need completely different solutions. This is partly compensated enough powerful processor Ambarella 7th generation. The mid-quality picture, the number of numbers on the original record begins approximately from such a distance:

Day videos can be viewed on YouTube (taking into account the fact that YouTube video always shifts and pins):

It is easy to see that the quality of shooting is sufficient - but no more.

With night shooting in general, there are few of the DVRs, it copes well - after all, in price boundaries, decent for these devices, the task of really high-quality night shooting is not solved in any way. But Highscreen Black Box Connect here, perhaps, was weaker than other models of the same manufacturer:

I saw the shooting and better.

From the minuses I can still mark the lack of a hard button for disconnecting the sound (only through the menu, available only through the smartphone) - I always turn off the sound on DVRs, because you never know what I can unexpected to say with an accident? It will then be inconvenient somehow ... But sometimes it is necessary and included.

It is impossible to adjust the duration of the roller during a cyclic recording - only three minutes. Well, the concept of work only through a smartphone although it is original and causes my delight, as the tester - but with practical daily exploration it is rather uncomfortable. If you take a recorder in Parking - you will inevitably knock his position. This means that each time you need to get a smartphone, run the application, wait until it starts and connects, configure a picture, then turn off and translate the device to the DVR mode ... Do not a lot of trouble? So it is better to use it to those who do not remove the device from glass ever - for example, stores the car on a guarded parking lot.

In addition, you should not forget that one of the important applications of the DVR in our realities - Show a picture of a traffic cop on a place to prove the lack of violation. ( I saved me a couple of times from the attempts of extortion "For the oncoming"). Manipulation with a smartphone at the same time can be perceived very negatively, and the reliability of this bundle is obviously less than that simple device With the screen - it will be stupid to lose their rights due to the fact that you have a wiphay on your smartphone ...

Conclusions:

Highscreen Black Box Connect - the device is very interesting and progressive, his testing gave me great pleasure. However, it is necessary to understand - it is rather a gadget for guys than the device for the mass consumer. The pattern "stuck and use" here does not work here - you need to understand what WiFi is, how to install the application on your smartphone, tinkering with the settings, knock on the tambourine to read the manual ... Most likely, this device can be attributed to the concepts that are created to try different trends consumer market. If you need a video recorder - the same Highscreen has enough power to work. But if you love slightly ahead of the market, love multi-faceted and universal devices, and not alien to joys manual settings In total, this gadget is quite suitable for you. Not as much as the DVR, how much is an interesting toy. Moreover, the price of him is quite affordable - less than five thousand rubles.
