I love my new A129, but I am seeking for advice on two video-viewing related problems. Here's my hardware situation: 1) A129 Duo, hardwired by a professional installer into a Ford SUV, 2) running latest 1.5 firmware, 3) trying to view and/or download videos onto an iPhone X, iOS 12.1.4 with VIOFO app installed, 4) WiFi (when powered on) set for 5GHZ wireless.
1. When I use the iOS App to view any 3-minute clip in the video library, streaming via 5GHZ WiFi, the video will freeze after about 30 to 45 seconds. If I manually move the video slider forward or backward, I can sometimes get it to resume playback, but it will again freeze after a few seconds. After many attempts, I've never been able to watch an entire 3-minute video using my Phone, and this happens with every file. The WiFi distance between the A129 and my phone is quite short because I'm always inside the car when I try this. Also, I confirmed the video files are not the problem... if I remove the SD card and play the files on my computer, each video plays perfectly.
2. I have successfully downloaded video files onto my App via 5GHZ WiFi, but this also starts-and-stops in the download process. Because downloading often freezes for 10 to 15 seconds before resuming, downloading a 3-minute clip took more than 20 minutes, and it probably would have taken less than 10 minutes if it weren't constantly pausing the download for 10 to 15 seconds.
I still really like the camera system, but appreciate any advice anyone has.
