RTFM ?   You have given too little information to give you any other advice ...like make and model of the dash cam.

It's called Viidure(dont think its the name of the system) in order to use the full features you have to download the Viidure app.

I will go to my Internet provider tomorrow and find out what the problem is, maybe my Internet is not good enough.

Perhaps it needs to connect to a mobile or other device via BlueTooth?

I hope this helps?

 

The "connected, no internet" message on your dash cam when connecting to its Wi-Fi is normal. 

 Dash cam Wi-Fi is primarily for connecting to the camera itself, not for general internet access. You'll use the camera's Wi-Fi to access its settings, view footage, or transfer files through a dedicated smartphone app.

Yes mate,  I have the Viidure app but obviously I can not use it because I can't connect it, do I just keep trying and it will connect eventually or will it never connect?

I will try Bluetooth to my mobile.

Just tried Bluetooth it's connected but only for calls and Audio.

I have no idea what to do now, it all works perfectly, dash cam is recording on a loop, I can re-watch any video but can't download to phone which is the point of having the cam, in an accident you can download that video to your phone, oh well, the shop I

Purchased it from are not much help.

I suspect you may have a dashcam with no wifi. I recently purchased a dashcam on Lazada.  I found out there are dashcams with wifi and cheaper dashcams with no wifi.  Exactly as you say, the only way to transfer the video is to remove the SD card and put it into a reader or a phone.  Dashcams with wifi can be done wirelessly from dashcam to phone or computer.

I'm sure this has WiFi but you could be right, the shop now does not answer me , apart from the Wifii it's great, it does what it is supposed to do,

I've just checked the leaflet that came with the system, it does have wifi, I don't know, why is everything so difficult.

This is the correct answer... 

 

A lot of Dash-Cam's (both of mine) - you connect to the CAM itself via Wifi-Connection...   (which is not an internet connection - but just a connection over Wifi to the Dash-cam - thats it)... 

... The phone recognises that there is 'no internet' from the Dash-Cam - because its not a Wifi-Router its just a dash-cam - nevertheless the connection between phone (app) and Cam is established and the App can the access the dashcams features.

 

This type set up is fairly universal...     Addtionally - IF you have AppleCarPlay (GooglePlay) connected to your car etc that connection will prevent you from connecting to the Dash-Cam Wifi-Connection, thus you may need to 'disconnect' the phone from the AppleCarPlay (GooglePlay)...

It's now working.

Yes... the 'American Indian' above kind of gave that away.... 

 

... though you didn't know 'how'...    thus: my comment explains 'how' you likely or inadvertently gained access... 

 

You'll need to know 'how' when you try and reconnect as the connection between your phone and the dash-cam is not a permanent thing and you may need to go through the 'reconnection process' next time you want to connect....    Particularly if you have AppleCarPlay or reset connections on your phone etc.
