I have charge it every 3 daysDon’t like it

zoomblue2002, Oct 15, 2026

Take forever to loadHalf the time cameras never load. I have the newest iPhone and fiber optic internet at home. Even with wifi turned on won’t even live stream my cameras. Always having connection issues. Works when ever it feels like it apparently never when I actually need it.
