The first stop should be the official Vitade support page. As of the last check, the domain vitade.com sometimes redirects to a generic store. Look for a "Support" or "Downloads" tab. If the HD960 is listed, download the .bin file. Warning: Do not use firmware from an HD980 or HD950; they are incompatible.
Before diving into the software, let’s clarify what the hardware is. The Vitade HD960 is typically sold as an "Action Camera" or "Waterproof Sports Cam." It records video at resolutions up to 1920x1080 (1080p) at 30 frames per second. It uses a MicroSD card (up to 32GB or 64GB, depending on the revision) and relies on a rechargeable lithium battery.
Common uses include:
Some sellers bundle a CD with a generic capture utility (like Honestech or e2eSoft). That software is outdated and unnecessary. Use OBS Studio instead.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no standalone PC editing suite for the HD960. The primary software used to control the camera wirelessly is the iSmart DV or GoPlus app.
Before diving into software, it is crucial to understand what the HD960 is. It is a 1080p action camera (despite "4K" marketing claims, the sensor usually outputs interpolated 4K). The chipset inside these cameras is typically a Novatek NT96658 or NT96660.
Because there is no official "Vitade" corporation website (the camera is sold through Amazon, eBay, and AliExpress by third parties), finding official software is challenging. Most of the "Vitade HD960 software" available on third-party forums is community-sourced.
