Troubleshooting common issues when downloading videos from the DBPower camera

Troubleshooting common issues when downloading videos from the DBPower 4K Action Camera:

If you encounter any problems while downloading videos from the DBPower 4K Action Camera, there are several troubleshooting tips you can try.
