Here's a trip/trick wanted to share.
I found a way to be connected to the WF1 via WiFi and be able to use LTE/4G Data at the same time. (VicoViewer still works at the same time)
I stole the Idea from the BlackView trick I found below. ( I used IP 10.1.0.100 though instead)

"And finally, the biggest issue comes with the WiFi connectivity. If you’re trying to read the card in an environment with several other WiFi signals around, transmission speeds can sometimes crawl. What’s more, since the dashcam doesn’t have an Internet connection, once you sit in your car your phone will tend to automatically connect to its WiFi network and altogether disconnect from the net, with no user intervention. This can be annoying if you’re not aware you don’t have data access… but there’s an unofficial workaroud: In the iPhone, “Go into Wi-Fi Settings and tap the blue arrow against BlackVue connection, enter the settings you see in the image attached (IP Address: Static; IP Address:192.168.8.2 (10.1.0.100); Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0). You’ll now be connected to your dash camera as well as getting data over cellular.” In practice however, we found that this seems to make the connectivity issues worse: videos will often stop midway, and sometimes the camera will even crash. So, feel free to use this trick, but be aware that your mileage may vary."
Here's my screen shot:
I haven't experienced any issues at all using this trick. (unlike what the BlackView trick said to watch out for)
