Lukas Eye(Dashcam wifi app) - Android App Installation and Instruction for LK-7950WD Dashcam

[Sunny]

Hey Sunny,

Jopie's Note 3 is not allowing him to connect to the LK7950 Wifi. When he tries to connect he gets the error saying there is not internet. Which is normal because the Camera is not providing a actual internet connection. However after that message it just drops the connection.

I tested it out on the Galaxy 3 I have, and the first time I tried I got the same error, then the second time I touched connect it connected perfectly.

I am not a android user, and I am out of ideas!

What firmware version?
If FI07, can try FI11. Mine works on both versions.

Also, there is new version of the app that you can update from the app itself.

Another thing I think is to have 'Mobile Data' on so it doesn't complain about 'No internet'.

I have a Samsung Note 8 running Android version 4.4.2 and was able to connect to the LK-7950 first time with no errors. What I did was; install the dongle, turn wifi on the camera (switch on bottom left to the right toward dongle), turn on wifi on the Samsung settings, let it find the Lukas network, enter the password and I was connected. I only did this once a few weeks ago best to my knowledge. As I remember it connected just like any hot spot.

Try a different android phone or tablet.
If it works for iPhone, there is no reason not to connect to android phone as long as you are using Android app.
I think some settings on the phone is the issue, not the dashcam.
Share some screen shots or video here of your process and error.

Try turning off phone's gps, bluetooth just to check.

We only tested on my iPhone. I don't believe Jopie actually owns one him self.

I agree it must be some setting on his phone.

Good morning Jopie,

I am thrilled to hear this did the trick..
I can't believe how much that took!! We have no idea how this happened, and you are the first android user we have had that has had this problem.
Anyways glad you found a fix, and that you were kind enough to share it with the community!
Please let me know if there is anything we can do for you in the future. I am sure we can give you some kind of special discount. =)

PS I just noticed that I totally posted the wrong photo in my last post.. I should have posted a screen shot of the error Jopie was receiving.

I have a Samsung Note running Android 5.0 To get my phone to connect, I used some information from a Sony WiFi camera site:

• Select [Settings] > [Wi-Fi] > Menu button > [Advanced], and disable or turn off all the functions below. The names of the function may differ among your mobile device.
  [Avoid poor connections] [Auto network switch] [Check for Internet service] [Wi-Fi timer]

I unchecked Auto Network Switch and Check for Internet Service. If I'm at home, the phone would switch back to my home router after the 'checking for Internet Service' failed.

I hope that might help someone.

Anyone have issues with playing videos in the app? It always says I can't play video. It works on iOS but not my Nexus 5 Android. Anyone have any ideas?

 

[Sunny]

Works fine with my Samsung Note II.

 

[Jeff146]

Hmm wondering if it's an app I have that is conflicting then ... this is going to be hard to diagnose. Anyone has a Nexus device that works?

 

[Jeff146]

Anyone else have issues?

My App just doesn't display any of the recorded videos. If I remove the SD and Micro SD cards, there are videos there.
I'm using the Android App called Lukas Qvia 1.5.0 It seems to let me configure the dashcam via WIFI but not see any videos. No big deal but it would be convenient to check it's working while I'm driving rather than having to get home, take out the SD crds and put into my Laptop. Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 5.0

I really hate android. It is very hard for me to diagnose what the problem could be.

I think sometimes we just take whatever works, and the missing "goodies" we have to do without.....

iOS is the same way.. err. like Taptic feedback only just now being added to new phones lol.

I would suggest making sure you have VLC downloaded on your phone, make sure the phone is actively connected to the cameras wifi, and perhaps see if downloaded the videos to your phone help them play.
