I cannot connect the Buddy3D camera to my WLAN

Hello,

I stopped counting the many tries and failures turning on the camera, press the reset button, scan the QR code, reset the camera by pressing the button longer than four seconds and so on. (Btw, I found this manual: Buddy3D Camera by Niceboy Guardian PR1, but did not find a solution).

Reading many posts, I learned that non-letter and non-digit characters in the Wifi password are bad. For the camera. Not for security … Actually, I do not want to change my password, also because of many, many devices that are connected to my WLAN.

In hope for a solution about non-letter characters in Wifi passwords, I searched for and found a link to the firmware 3.1.0 (m https://connect-ota.prusa3d.com/file/cam-3.1.0.tar (sha1 ddd77001652379c4bffed1d409b6449148caa4b8), downloaded and saved it to my SD card. Eventually the camera told me that the firmware has been updated. 

Now, the camera still says "Start scanning QR code" and "Stop scanning QR code" and keep flashing the green light. No further information, no data, no connection, nothing. I have to admit that I start to hate this &$%#@! device. And there is no support that can solve the mess.

I cannot believe that it is that complicated for a software and driver developer to implement a suitable solution and provide support for special characters in SSIDs and passwords.

When will a solution be available? And I also like an official download link for the firmware of the Buddy3D.
