Nikon D5500 - Video Recording turns off wifi

[2live4music]

Hi there,

When I start the remote video recording with dslrdashboard the wifi of the Nikon D5500 suddenly turns off?
As far as I know, Nikon doesn't allow for triggering remote video recording via wifi???

Any ideas??

*thanks so much*

RTFM:

"WiFi can be disabled by:
...
- Starting movie recording
"

From Nikon's D5500 User's Manual
And it's not only Nikon D5500 but any DSLR with built-in WiFi.

If you want to control movie recording wirelessly you need wifi router with OpenWRT and ddserver installed - like TP-Link TL-MR3040 or HAME MPR-A2
