Copy the update file/folder and paste it directly into the root directory (the main folder, not inside sub-folders like "video") of the Mini 5's internal storage.

Do not close the app or disconnect Wi-Fi during the transfer. If the camera freezes, wait 15 minutes before attempting a manual recovery (see troubleshooting below).

Method 1: Over-The-Air (OTA) Update via the DDPAI App (Recommended) This is the easiest and safest method for most users.

The camera will detect the update file automatically. The status light will blink rapidly, or you will hear a voice prompt saying "Updating".

(If OTA unavailable or required by the device)

The camera is stuck in a boot loop after an update. What should I do?
