Big Eye B-PM — Update Installation & Calibration

Wi-Fi Requirement — 2.4GHz Network Only

The B-PM — along with other Harvey connected equipment such as the A-15 Bandsaw and Gyro Pro models — can only connect to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Most modern routers handle band steering automatically, but if your network does not appear in the B-PM's Wi-Fi settings, this may be due to one of the following:

The router is not emitting a sufficiently strong 2.4GHz signal in your location

The network SSID is hidden in router settings

Other router-level settings are blocking the connection

Tip — Use a Cell Phone Hotspot to Bypass Router Issues

A quick option for bypassing router settings complications — such as geo-blocking, which can prevent updates from being pushed to the B-PM even when connected — is to use a cell phone hotspot set to 2.4GHz and connect the B-PM screen to it instead of your home or shop network.

Once connected on a 2.4GHz network:

If software updates are available, the version number at the top of the Settings screen will be lit up RED with the latest version number displayed.

Tap the red version number to initiate the update.

When prompted, allow installing the app update from unknown sources to proceed with installation.

Software Update Procedure

Confirm the B-PM is running the latest software version before calibrating.

Turn the B-PM screen ON.

Navigate to Settings → Wi-Fi and select your 2.4GHz network SSID. If your home/shop network doesn't appear, use a cell phone hotspot set to 2.4GHz as described above.

Once connected, check the version number at the top of the Settings screen. If an update is available it will appear in red — tap it to begin the update and allow installation from unknown sources when prompted.

After the update is installed, unplug and reseat the camera USB-C cable (if the camera was connected during the update) to re-initialize the camera before proceeding with calibration.

Once the B-PM is confirmed on the latest software version and the camera has been reseated, proceed with the calibration steps shown in the video above.
