Applies to either system
Step 1
With your dash cam powered on, enable the Wi-Fi function. The Wi-Fi name (aka the SSID) and password for the dash cam should be displayed on-screen.

On your mobile device, navigate to your Wi-Fi settings. Connect to your dash cam’s Wi-Fi by tapping its name when it appears. Enter your dash cam’s Wi-Fi password if you are prompted to do so.
Note: On some mobile devices, you may have to try to connect more than once. To ensure you’ve successfully connected, your mobile device’s screen should resemble the examples shown.

Once you’re connected to the dash cam, open the Rexing Connect app on your mobile device.
Please select “Keep Trying Wi-Fi” if you see the notification above.

In the app, hit the Wi-Fi icon button to connect to your dash cam, allowing you to access live view and view/download your recordings.
