Using Mobile Data with the App
Your phone can use internet even if the Wi-Fi has been connected to the camera's Wi-Fi. Just set it correctly:

- For Android Devices: Please ignore the message "This WLAN network has no internet access. Connect anyway?" by clicking or skidding to somewhere else without pressing YES or NO. If you already pressed "YES", you can't use the mobile network data, but the camera will still work well. To reset it, ignore the connected Wi-Fi hotspot and reconnect.
