I feel your pain. I have to admit, the first couple of days my connections were not setup properly as I named the built in wifi the incorrect name and didn't understand how the app connected to the camera directly versus the wifi/sim card. I had to call Blackvue Tech support a couple of times and they helped me set it up properly, while also explaining that the "Connect to Camera" mode in my App was just for close proximity (basically in the car) to connect your phone to the dashcam wirelessly (instead of having to pull the memory card out and using it in your computer); whereas "Connect to Cloud" is for remote connections further away, etc. Once I figured that out, it has worked fairly well.I went with the Blackvue 750XLTE Plus. Installation went well but I have come across 2 problems.
1. The Blackvue app is not good. Its not intuitive but more importantly it does not reliably connect to my phone. Lasted Firmware that I installed yesterday seems to help though.
2. SIM card does not seem to work with AT&T. I was on the phone with Blackvue and then with At&T. I even spent hours at the AT&T store trying 5G and 4G cards. We could not get this to work.
If anyone has a solution or has AT&T and it works for them, please let me know. I may have to get service with T-Mobile or use a hot spot. Very frustrating.
Concerning AT&T, I can't help there as I used T Mobile, which actually worked fairly well. But the people at the T Mobile store were clueless with the Blackvue device. I basically told them to treat it like they would someone wanting a sim card for a tablet that doesn't have cellular capability.
