    The camera light on my K3 remote control… flickers and then stays still followed by turning itself off and then on again. It keeps going on like this. I did an update to the software and reset the dvr… Still the same. Have Anyone encountered this before ??

    Hi Skylar,
    Is the blue LED of the power module on?
    Do you have the problem when the engine is not started or also when you are driving?
    It is possible that if the supply voltage is not sufficient, the K3 cannot start up. Especially when the wifi starts up, this requires more power. If this power cannot be supplied, the K3 will restart.
    Try starting up without an SD card.
    You can also disconnect the cameras, GPS module or remote control one by one to see if one of these modules has become defective and therefore does not allow the K3 to start up.

    Hi Hans, I have also noticed that when I try to connect the apps to the camera to view the images or videos on my phone , it works intermittently. But if I remove the SD card and play it usimgmy PC.. the images and videos can be played.

      Hi Skylar,
      The video appears to be recording an ‘accident video’. Try lowering the sensitivity of the G-sensor.
      The Wi-Fi LED is on continuously, so you should have a constant Wi-Fi connection with your phone.
      Playing videos directly from the camera in the app may sometimes be choppy. With a weak Wi-Fi connection, some data has to be downloaded before the video can continue playing. In the app, this is played via ‘Camera Files’.
      If you first download the videos to your phone and then play them via ‘Local Files,’ I expect it will work better. Could you also be running a virus scanner on your phone? That could also be causing the choppy video. The virus scanner scans some data, releases it, then scans the next piece of data, and so on.

        Hi Hans, i checked the G sensor. its set at the minimum. I am aware that playing video directly from phone using the apps , video speed and quality can be choppy.

    Hi Skylar,
    The folder where the downloaded videos are saved can be seen in settings; the path is listed near the bottom.
