It seems to be almost impossible to change wifi hotspot after it is first set. I bought 12 of this camera on sale, and have only tested 3 of them. When you set the wifi connection the first time, everything works ok, that is connecting from the phone app and setting up the wifi (using scan) works great. The problem is if you want to change wifi hotspot (testing some different wifi hotspots with Raspberry Pi and others). Downgrading firmware works ok, but setting up the camera through the app now seems quite impossible . Have uploaded new firmware (tried different versions) numerous times now, but connecting from the phone app seems now kind of impossible. After the first step after the scan of the label it now just hangs, for both cameras. I guess I just have to return those back to the shop.

Just a small update regarding the issue I had about changing wifi. The main problem was that I did not have the camera in orange flashing mode. Previously I actually did not see any color difference, but today I tried something that I hadnt tried before. Turn off/on camera and after a while hold the hand over the camera lens so that it clicked and turned on nightleds (big circle around the lens) and at the same time holding in the reset button at the back and after a while, longer than 10 seconds I am sure, I could see the orange color blinking and from there on it went ok to change wifi. On my other camera I had to install the latest firmware version to get this working, and tweaking a bit a few times with the hand over the lens I managed to change the wifi on that too.
