Hello, I bought a replacement C5 for a broken one. I updated the firmware and it seems to behave normally but I cannot turn off the WiFi. When I press the green button it flashes and eventually reconnects. It never gives the 1 flash per second. Has there been a change? Thanks.

I realize that this request is relevant to how I personally use the camera. While we are touring we leave the camera in standby mode until there is something we want to say or film. I have installed a switch in series with ACC line so I can control the power manually. If I leave the manual switch on, every time I turn the key on I have to remember to cancel the automatic record feature multiple times. I normally leave the switch off and turn the switch on to begin automatic recording, this works but it takes a very long time before it starts recording. About 28 seconds. (My understanding is that this is to make sure voltage is stable during engine start) If there was an option to have the unit not automatically start recording or remove the delay on start up to shorten boot time it would greatly improve my personal experience. I like the camera very much! It is mounted in a pocket so it is out of direct weather, it is always on the bike, the camera itself is small and inconspicuous, and it has an audio in jack that I have connected to the intercom on the Goldwing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOdJz2Wp9Rg
Sorry, I meant it never gives the flash that is slower than 1 per second.
hi,
When you use the mobile phone to connect the APP, can you see the WiFi of C5 on the WiFi list of your mobile phone?
If yes but you can not connect the APP, please forget the C5 network on your phone and then try again.
If there is no C5 wifi on your, please check again the C5 DVR, you can use a usb power supply to try again.
Thank you for your reply. I can connect the camera to the app no problem. My only problem is I want to turn OFF the WiFi. I should be able to press the WiFi button on the camera and the light should slowly flash green with the WiFi disconnected. Instead, when I press the WiFi button, it flashes green once a second and then reconnects.
I didn't have this problem on my old camera. Are there previous firmware versions available that I can try? Thank you.
You're welcome.
Our engineer tested the all frimwares of C5 but we found only V0.31 can turn off the wifi.
But we are concerned that this firmware version is too low to be compatible with the current APP, so we will re-edit the firmware.
Please use the current version for the time being.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
No problem. I'm glad it will be fixed because other than this small problem it has been a great camera.
@frankrizzo Thank you. The APP will pop up to remind you to update when we publish.
Hello - is there any update with this? If not, can you just give me the the old firmware and old app apk? Thanks.
hello, here is the firmware.
Please download it, then you can turn off the wifi function by pressing the button.
