Settings
Settings are found at /mnt/WRdisk/settings.txt.
The /mnt/WRdisk/ location is the only folder which can be written even with the overlay function active. All the other folders will not hold their data after a reboot. See the overlay item for more information.
👉 Because the settings are loaded during booting, changes will not take effect until you restart the YoloCam.
