inlinesix Hypersonic March 19, 2018 Share March 19, 2018 I believe all you need is internet connection. No need to waste the money, just use your old phone which support teathering (wifi sharing) and you are good to go.It wouldn't work. If I forget to switch off wifi on camera, I got no connection on my phone. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic March 19, 2018 Share March 19, 2018 It wouldn't work. If I forget to switch off wifi on camera, I got no connection on my phone. It works with mobile phone also. I have both mobile phone and 4G router. Do not switch off the wifi on the camera. You can store up to 3 devices on the cloud settings. I have 2 data sim cards free so using two devices to pair with the camera. Will turn off one of them when data limit is reached. Both mobile phone and 4G router works fine with my Blackvue DR650S and DR750S. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazuo Neutral Newbie March 19, 2018 Share March 19, 2018 My car don't have router. Once camera wifi is on, I have no internet connection on my phone.Nothing to do with router.Your camera "wifi" allows your phone to connect into its private LAN so as to view the recording wirelessly. This private LAN has no access to Internet which is why when your phone is connected to this private LAN, your phone lost internet access (because it will no longer use the SIM 3G/4G connection).

Kazuo Neutral Newbie March 19, 2018 Share March 19, 2018 If that's the case, how to connect to internet without router?I dont own one with cloud capability, so I can only comment in IT perspective. I might be wrong about how the product Cloud works. Long story short, unless your dashcam support 3G/4G (can insert simcard), the only way is to get it connected to the internet by "3rd party" means, which is why the mobile wifi comes into the picture. Your dashcam connects to the internet provide by your mobile wifi. It then connects to the product's central server. Your phone (with the product app) connects to the server. Everyone now got connected to the same network and streaming becomes possible. * Please note that while most people here understand what you actually mean when you say router, a router is not a product you need. If you go to Challenger asking for router, you might end up going home with the wrong product. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazuo Neutral Newbie March 19, 2018 Share March 19, 2018 Sorry i have misread your post. Anyway, do you still agree with mobile wifi is required? Ole phone can be tethered on. No worry. It is a sharing session so as to let fellow members get the right stuff. If you just need to check on your recording when you are in your car. You dont need mobile wifi (Internet). If you want to be able to view from remote location like office or home, then you will need mobile wifi. I personally dont find the need. Unless I want to stalk on someone or something. The ability to power the Internet device will be something to address. While powerbank might be able to power it overnight. The ability to recharge them (Internet device and powerbank) will depends on how long you drive your car daily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
