Blackvue DR500GW-HD

[luscious]

I just got mine in...but I am still waiting for the Power Magic to arrive. I am trying to decide if I'll put the 500 in the back, or move my 400 to the back and mount the 500 to the front. It looks like I might have issues with the rear view mirror with the front mount, as the 500 is quiet a bit bigger than the 400!

so how much are you fellas shelling out for the 500 and a magic pro...and i wonder if we REALLY need a rear facing camera. i mean i always back into all parking spaces...and all i want is to have an interior view to be honest, not a rear windshield view.

Have anyone else got any antivirus notices when putting the MicroSD that is included in the Blackvue DR500GW-HD into a computer?

I'm running F-Secure Anti-Virus, and it detected "Win32.Worm.DownadupINF.Gen" in the autorun.inf file that is included on the MicroSD card.

F-Secure deleted the file before I could look closer into it, so I'm interested to hear if anyone else have noticed this, or if my antivirus was a bit trigger-happy.

I would be careful putting this card into a computer without antivirus, and autorun enabled on memory cards until others can confirm/deny this issue. If my card really was infected most likely there will be others...

Yeah, I mentioned this in post 10 of this thread. Someone else in Australia noticed the same thing. I contacted the vendor I got it from and they were passing the info along to Blackvue. Looks like their SD cards came pre-formatted with a worm.

I purchased a 32GB card to replace the 16GB that came with it, and when the BlackVue formatted it, it didn't have any malware on it, so it looks like it was on the card and not on the camera's firmware that formats the card. This is odd though, since I thought the first time I powered up the camera with the card that came with it, it mentioned it was formatting the card.

same deal here....confiker.b worm or some such thing. My virus protection picked it up right away.

Put a blank SD card in your camera and it will automatically copy then system files back to it.

Thanks man!! it worked...i first was like "WTF!!!!"
i checked video file via my phone and it works great.
I have to wire it with power magic pro but waiting for add a circuit fuse.
as soon as i install mine i will post some pics.

yeah looks like all the black vue cards come blank and thats how you get the software onto it.

I got my 400hdII for a great price but after hearing about the wifi for the 500.... damn... the camera discards files pretty quick so i will have to go to a higher sized card or maybe 2 cards if i dont want drive videos to be deleted. If i had the wifi, i could just save vids on the tablet.

For people who have trouble with DR500 for files, can someone post up blackvue fiels in sd card for few troubled people? i am not that computer tech guy and cant post big files. I am trying to help other member but difficult for me.

I also found out they released new firmware for DR500 in KOREAN. (try it out if yorus don't work )

I would not advise using the Korean firmware on your US camera unless you want the camera's voice prompts and messages to be in Korean

In any case, the latest firmware out right now is 1.003 which is the same version already on the camera as distributed.

It's already on your camera, and that's the same version that corresponds to the Korean firmware on Blackvue's site.

i tried to upload my files from SD card but it seems like it's big files.
