Dident it transmit wifi ?

I have a wifi problem with another brand camera, it do transmit wifi and for the first months i was also able to connect to it, but that somehow stopped and now i can not connect to it at all, but it still transmit wifi, just 2 different phones and a tablet can not connect.

Apparently i am the only one in the world with that problem on that camera, so very strange

You need to contact VIOFO directly if your seller isn’t helping you with it.

I see it is in AP mode, maybe you should try the regular mode, it is my understanding these new WIFI features are pretty new in the Viofo cameras.
At least that is what i would do.
Not sure if you wanted to use the more advanced AP mode, which as i understand it let you access the camera remotely with say a computer, there should be a regular wifi mode just for using the APP if that is what you try to do.

Nothing with AP mode, his camera have a problem and needs to be replaced.

Indeed, good service is a must.
I also dont think changing to the normal wifi mode would help, but a easy try to do VS loading some new firmware or whatever, at least he can say he tried that too, taking that option from viofo to try that.

Did you end up getting the wifi fixed?

If you don't want to send the camera back you could try to update it by downloading the latest firmware on your PC and placing the firmware file at the root of your SD card. If you are confident that you have a software issue the firmware upgrade could help. As a heads up I did a fw upgrade in the past and the biggest hurdle I had was getting the correct fw file. That involved some guess work and took me at least a couple of hours of trial and error. Specifically in my case i had to make sure that the firmware file ends in the same characters as the second group of characters of my camera s wifi ssid. Hopefully it helps
