4. Time/Date Setting
By default, the camera does not display a time stamp. To enable or change the time stamp, you need to download a tool from the official BOBLOV website.
Steps:
- Visit the official website: https://boblov.com/download/ and download the "W1 How to set time" tool.
- If your browser (e.g., Google Chrome) warns about the file being potentially harmful, please select "Keep" to proceed with the download. This tool is a safe TXT file for setting the Time/Date Stamp.
- Connect the camera to your computer using a USB cable and ensure it is recognized.
- Copy the downloaded
yq_config_file.initool onto the W1's SD disk. - For Windows Users: Double-click the
yq_config_file.inifile. Edit the date and time values as needed (e.g., YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, MINUTE, SECOND). Save the TXT file. - For Mac Users: Right-click the
yq_config_file.inifile, select "Open With," and choose "Text Edit." Modify the date and time values, then save the file.
To Remove Time Stamp:
- Follow the same steps to download and open the tool.
- Change the
DATE_STAMPvalue to0. SettingDATE_STAMP=0disables the time stamp feature, whileDATE_STAMP=1enables it.
After making changes, reconnect the camera to verify the settings.
