WiFi connection error with dashcam B1M.
1. Do the WiFi connection in your iPhone Wi-Fi section/WAN section if Android phone
2. Find the dashcam Wi-Fi SSID name B1M-XXXXXX, and input password 12345678 to connect
3. Open the APP B1MCAM on your phone, and preview the image from the motorcycle dashcam
Why this camera wouldn't stay connected to my phone?
For some Android phone models (like Google Pixel 3), if the mobile data(LTE) and Wi-Fi are enabled at the same time, the phone will switch to mobile data mode automatically since the B1M Wi-Fi SSID cannot access to the internet. This will break the Wi-Fi connection between the camera and the smartphone.
Best to switch the Airplane mode on your phone and redo the Wi-Fi connection!
1. For example, Galaxy users: go to Settings — WLAN —Advanced, switch off the “Automatic Data Switch” option, or simply switch off the mobile data usage.
2. If a proxy setting is applied to the Wi-Fi setting, the connection may also fail. Tap the SSID of the camera and go to Advanced — Proxy Settings, select “none” and save the Wi-Fi connection.
3. Switch off then switch on the Wi-Fi option to try again.
4. Quit the app (also kill the background process of the app) and reopen the app.
