iPhone XR, iOS 15.0.1, A129 Plus Duo Firmware VIOFOA129DuoPlusFWv1.0(20200925)

Brand new camera, just received today.

I followed the instructions, opened the app, clicked on Connect Camera, went to iphone settings, the camera shows the wifi name and password, phoen shows wifi name.

I click to connect.

The phone keeps trying to connect, the gear icon keeps going round and round forever; and finally says "Unable to join".

I am about to Google this, but thought I'd post here first and then google simultaneously. People here have shown themselves to know way more than what Google knows :)

Cheers
 
When connecting to the dashcam's Wi-Fi with iPhone, please turn on airplane mode or turn off mobile data first.

Thank you, I shall try this and post an update.

One question though - should I do this every time I want to connect the phone app to the camera or is this a one-timne exercise? Thereason I ask is, I would not want to be in airplane mode when I am driving.

Thank you and cheers
 

I admit I did not use this bin file to update to the latest firmware - I used the file on this forum website itself, because the one on this forum contaioned the update for the rear camera firmware too, not just the front camera alone.

I am not sure if the bin file you linked to (FWA129S) contains the rear camera update too or not. Would you happen to have any knowledge/advice on this - use the forum file or the one you linked to?

Thank you and cheers
