VIOFO 4+

Installed camera on Monday and downloaded app straight away.
Initially all seemed fine.
From Tuesday onwards I have been unable to connect to the camera using this app so not able to view any footage.
Each time it starts, I’m back at square one with the app instructing me to ‘pair’ them both but they are already paired and connected according to my phone.
Tried deleting the pairing and beginning again but to no avail.
Poor at best.

Purchased the A219 Dual yesterday. Having paired it up with the app I’ve noticed several issues.

1. Not all settings for the camera are on the app. For example, to change date formatting, you have to do it from the camera itself.

2. Cannot add Car Number or Additional Text. In the settings it states that it can be 11 alpha-numerical characters. However it only only lets you input numbers?

3. Constantly crashes.

4. Needs an option where you can view both camera feeds one on top of the other. Currently it overlays. This is unusual because there is plenty of unused space for another feed.

5. When you view footage on the app, you do not get the GPS view at the bottom. You need to download it to the app, then view it. It seems like a hassle and an unnecessary step.

Overall I am happy with the camera and I hear good things about Viofo’s constant firmware improvements, so I’m hoping a future update will sort these simple annoyances out.

The Dashcam is great, the app is atrocious. Usually doesn’t recognise that the phone is connected to the WiFi network, continually “guiding” me to system settings that confirm the connection is made.

When it does recognise the connection it gives repeated timeout errors and, if it does miraculously work, it takes at least 5 minutes for any button presses to make their way to the Dashcam. Given you have to stop recording to view saved footage this wait is interminable. It’s much, much quicker to take the card out of the camera, go into the house, boot up a laptop and plug in the card than it is to view footage using the app!
