      Instructions

      For the following steps, you will need only your micro SDXC card, adapter to connect the micro SD card to your computer, and your computer. You will not need your Raspberry Pi.

      1. Download the latest Sentry DashCam Bridge (request early access for the private beta here)
        software and save it someplace easy to access like your desktop.
      2. Download, install, and launch Balena Etcher, Balena Etcher
      3. Using a Micro SD to USB adapter (or another adapter), insert the micro SDXC card into the adapter and the adapter into your computer. Do not plug your SDXC card into the Raspberry Pi or the Raspberry Pi into your computer.
      4. In Etcher, click Select Image, navigate to the SentryDashcamBridge-yyyy-mm-dd.zip (example: SentryDashCamBridge-2020-05-30.zip) downloaded previously.Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 3.12.52 PM
      5. Next, click Select Target, and choose the micro SDXC card you wish to format. It will likely show up as Mass Storage Device Media or Generic Mass Storage Media. Please note the label may vary as well as the storage size displayed in this example. Be sure you select the correct storage device to avoid unintentionally formatting the wrong device. You may want to unplug any other USB storage devices to avoid accidentally wiping the wrong storage device. Keep in mind that any data on the SDXC card will be lost when installing  Sentry DashCam Bridge.image-4
