    List of problems & issues with the RC500S

    Updated: my recording sizes do not exhibit the inconsistency you mentioned. I also notice the following LED pattern: my camera switches successfully to parking mode after a period of inactivity. When it does that, I get an animated white>green>red led flashing pattern (another thing that should...

    List of problems & issues with the RC500S

    I spoke too soon.... With the new firmware update and latest app, I now no longer have the ability to get reliable app connections over the camera's WiFi. Camera starts up – "Recording now!" Press WiFi button – "WiFi ON!", then "Recording disabled!", THEN "Recording NOW" Try to connect to the...

    Problem: Continuos recording unable to stop.

    @George Argus, so sorry to hear you have the same issues. And 4 units, for that matter. Blimey. I've updated the bug list on my thread here including what was observed with the new firmware update + 2.0.4 android app update. Some issues have been resolved, but not all. What we can do as...

    List of problems & issues with the RC500S

    Ok I've upgraded firmware and reset everything. Looks like this method of firmware upload is a good way to blitz the entire camera to factory state. I've made some observations on the new firmware+app combination, and updated my first post in this thread. Generally relieved that things are...

    Thanks George, good to know. Will give it this a go.

    List of problems & issues with the RC500S

    Looking forward to trying out the new firmware. Thanks for posting it, including instructions. I wonder why DoD doesn't publish this firmware on their official website. Has it been tested? Or are we the guinea pigs? I don't think we have a choice in being the latter, BUT... here's something...

    List of problems & issues with the RC500S

    On my Android, what I did when I encounted that error was to shut everything down, pull the microsd card out, and power on the camera. I was able to reconfigure the camera via the app this way. Once you're happy with the settings disconnect power to the camera, insert the micro sd card again...

    RC500S coming with INCREDIBLE low light performance

    Hey @ozguy thanks for putting up that video. Same situation with mine: the "receive command error". Interestingly, you're on Android 4.2.2, while my errors are showing up on 7.1.1. I don't think @ozguy and myself are bashing dod for their video quality. We do appreciate that one critical...

    Problem: Continuos recording unable to stop.

    I can't agree with the bit about cutting them some slack with the Android platform. For an 'indie' developer creating one-off, specialty dashcams, sure I can accept that. If you are a major player in the market and releasing a product to market at this price point, you test it first across...

    List of problems & issues with the RC500S

    I'm putting out a list of problems with the RC500S-2CH here for easier access in the hopes that other owners can join in the discussion and share temporary solutions for it. I can't believe I have to do this as a customer because this should have been DOD's job before releasing the product...

    RC500S coming with INCREDIBLE low light performance

    Yes why in the world would they provide straight cables instead of right angle ones as in the packaging? I think there are too many issues here to list. I'll post a new topic to list down all hardware/software issues. It's disappointing that these are details that should have been addressed...

    Mirror image

    The irony. I posted my issues with not being able to mirror the display via firmware: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/rc500s-coming-with-incredible-low-light-performance.25453/page-2#post-324587 I strongly feel this mirror flipping shouldn't be an app-specific feature, but a firmware...

    Problem: Continuos recording unable to stop.

    There are 2 issues here. The first is an app issue that the app developers need to address (the link posted above has the conversation going on with the actual app developer) to fix the bugs in the Android software. My posts in that link were observations using an Android phone, so while I did...

    RC500S coming with INCREDIBLE low light performance

    Nope I tried tapping that same button but it just says "camera is busy". This on Motorola Nexus 6, Android 7.1.1. Sounds like a firmware-side API restriction. Perhaps forward this request to DOD then? Amazingly, all this information was printed as options in their user manual...... That's...

    RC500S coming with INCREDIBLE low light performance

    Too bad; I'll just have to write to them directly for feedback on firmware then. I found out how to configure the camera via the app – take out the micro SD card so it won't auto-record.... wth? That seems to be the ONLY method to change the important camera settings via the app. I get that...

    RC500S coming with INCREDIBLE low light performance

    Besides the app developer, does DOD watch this forum for feedback? Adding a long-press detection on say the lock button to pause recording will address this issue. For mirroring, I agree it should be a firmware setting update to do the hardware flip (and not a kludgy, slower app-side software...

    RC500S coming with INCREDIBLE low light performance

    Ok I have comments for the app developer: I've had a pretty hard time getting the app to run the way it was meant to work. The UI needs a lot of work to improve the visual consistency in general, the 4 or 5-screen tutorial to tell the user where to tap to get everything going is not necessary...
