It doesnt work i’ve tried it over and over. It being, the cameras dont connect to my network. They have before but now no matter what I do theyre not connecting or when one of them does connect to my network (2.4) im not able to use it. The word unbound is on the app screen in the app. They were both working in the past like i said , through the QR code setup but they stopped. I forget the model name, it would show in the app if i could connect. I bought them both off of Amazon a year or so ago. Thanks for your post, I was hopeful i would be able to get them connected again but I guess i have to keep working on it
Battery charge lasts about 2 hrs. When I bought it the specs said 6 hrs. Only get 2hrs when connected to charger. Manuals and docs provide zero info about battery time or charging.
para registar-me na APP meto email, password mas o nr de verificação não sei para onde vai nem como obter
For HIDVCAM version v2.5.12 build 1, need another charging cord and am interested in another device. Please let me know information for both items. Thank you
New camera.
I have no indication of battery charging. With the camera operating I have a charge indicator in the upper right. It currently says 56%.
Why can’t I see my cameras away from home ?
Can you have two cameras on the same app? I need it for two side by side rooms.
Do I need to install the app again? How do I set them up? I have one set up already.
