Check out the DDPAI app in the AppStore. It is an app for the DDPAI Mini5
dashcam that displays and controls the video from the small, but very
capable dashcam via direct WiFi. The cam itself has no display. The app has
a 4-star rating wih supposedly only two respondents. It had that many
before I posted my  negative review more than a week ago, and it is still
not showing up there as none of the others. So, as I said before, why
should anybody bother to take time for a feedback? This was not the case
with Google PlayStore.
