Service use only

RadarW can change camera adjustment data. Incorrect settings may disable or damage the camera. These installers have not been run, malware-scanned or tested with a camera by Mavica.net. Matching checksums do not establish safety or compatibility.

Documentation

Read these before installing anything. The documents describe different historical versions and a dedicated RadarW interface with a PC parallel port. They are not instructions for connecting a camera with an ordinary USB cable. See the installation guide for its original system requirements; no modern-Windows compatibility is claimed.

Checksums & source

All 18 files match the source inventory's SHA-1 and MD5 values. Local SHA-256 values are supplied for checking downloaded copies. The original RAR and PDF files are unchanged; no installers are executed by this website.
