IMPORTANT NOTES:

It is best practice after a firmware update to clear the settings of the recorder (factory reset) to remove any old settings that may conflict with the new firmware. If you notice any unintended operation after the update, you should immediately note the settings that you have changed on the recorder and then factory reset to restore the settings to their defaults.

Only recordings made after changing the substream to h.264 will be playable on the phone apps.
