Hi! I’m sorry to hear your Viidure dash cam is not recording, won’t delete videos, and isn’t saving screenshots. Let’s get this sorted out together. To better assist you, could you please tell me:
1. Is the dash cam powered on and connected properly to your Android device? 2. Have you checked if the microSD card is inserted correctly and not full or corrupted? 3. Are you using the latest version of the Viidure app on your device? 4. Did these problems start suddenly, or have they been going on since you first got the dash cam?
These details will help me narrow down the cause and guide you step-by-step to fix it.
Thank you for those details. Since the dash cam connection has been stable for years and the issues appeared suddenly, it likely points to something specific blocking the recording, deleting, and screenshot saving functions.
Let's try these troubleshooting steps tailored for your Android 10 device and WebKit-based environment:
1. Restart the Dash Cam & Phone: Power off your dash cam fully and your phone, then turn both back on. Sometimes temporary glitches clear with a full reboot.
2. Check Wi-Fi Connection Stability: Since Viidure dash cams use Wi-Fi for app communication, verify your phone's Wi-Fi connection to the dash cam is stable and connected directly (not through mobile hotspot or other routers). If it disconnects intermittently, that could cause failures in commands.
3. Verify MicroSD Card Health & Format: Even if it was working before, the card could have developed errors. Use the Viidure app or your phone's file manager to check if the card is accessible and not full. If possible, back up contents and reformat the card using a FAT32 or exFAT format. Then reinsert and test.
4. Clear Viidure App Cache & Data: On your Android 10 device, go to Settings → Apps → Viidure → Storage → Clear Cache and if needed, Clear Data (note: clearing data will reset app preferences). Then reopen the app and reconnect to your dash cam.
5. Update or Reinstall the Viidure App: Even if your app is up to date, sometimes reinstalling resolves corrupted app states. Uninstall Viidure, reboot your phone, and reinstall from the official source.
6. Check Permission Settings: The app needs permissions for storage and camera to handle video and screenshots. In Settings → Apps → Viidure → Permissions, ensure all necessary permissions are allowed.
7. Attempt Manual Sync: Some dash cams allow manual syncing of date/time and files within the app’s settings. Look for a sync option to refresh the connection.
If these steps don't restore recording, deleting, and screenshot functionality, it's possible a firmware glitch on the dash cam or a corrupt system file is causing trouble.
Would you like me to guide you through checking or updating the dash cam’s firmware? Also, if you notice any error messages or unusual lights on the dash cam while performing these steps, please let me know.
This way we can dig deeper or determine if an escalation to specialized Viidure support is needed. Are you comfortable proceeding with the above steps?
Great question! Restarting your Viidure dash cam isn’t just about turning your car off and on, though that often helps with power cycling.
To properly restart your dash cam, you usually have two options:
1. Power Cycle by Switching Car Off and On: This does turn the dash cam off (since it typically powers from the car's ignition) and on again, which can clear minor glitches. So yes, switching your car off fully, waiting about 10 seconds, then turning it back on can effectively restart the dash cam.
2. Hardware Reset via Dash Cam Buttons: Some Viidure dash cam models have a physical reset option. For example, pressing and holding the power button (or a dedicated reset button) for about 10 seconds can reset the device to its default settings, including resetting Wi-Fi and resolving software hiccups6.
If you want to try resetting Wi-Fi specifically (which can help connection issues between the dash cam and your phone app), you can navigate through the camera's on-screen menu: - Go to Settings → Wi-Fi Settings → Reset Wi-Fi and confirm the reset2.
Starting with the car ignition restart is simplest. If problems persist after that, try the dash cam reset option.
Would you like me to guide you through the hardware reset steps or Wi-Fi reset on your specific model? Also, please let me know if your dash cam has any visible display or buttons you can access easily.
Thanks for the update! Since options 1, 2, and 6 didn’t resolve the issue, and you're about to test further, I thought I’d share some insights on Viidure app versions—specifically related to issues people have encountered with versions 1, 2, and 6.
Some users have reported connectivity and functionality problems with certain Viidure app versions on Android devices, which sometimes manifest as not saving videos or screenshots and trouble deleting files. This can be due to compatibility glitches with the dash cam firmware or Android OS updates. Popular fixes include reinstalling the app or even trying an older version if the latest causes trouble (you can find older Viidure versions on Uptodown, a trusted app archive)9.
Also, note that the Viidure app requires stable, direct Wi-Fi connections to the dash cam; any interruption or conflicts with mobile data or other Wi-Fi networks can interfere with file management functions2.
If you suspect your current app version might be causing trouble, I can guide you on how to try reinstalling a different version or help with app settings. Just let me know! Meanwhile, feel free to share the results of your test so we can proceed accordingly.
Are you satisfied with this direction, or would you like me to elaborate further?
