Cameras won't even connect to my Wi-Fi They disconnected my established ones and now I can't do any of them if they're outdoor cameras but I could do it if they were indoor

Doesn't work

They never record motion. Always out. Tales too long to come on and see on phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The camera seems to be great when it works. Unfortunately it is only available to view the live stream or record about 40% of the time. The rest of the time it won't connect to wifi.

The worst camera ever. It would be great if when you open the app to see your live feed that it didn’t take 15 minutes to connect! We even put I wifi extender in our garage to boost connectivity. Did not help at all. The real time playback works, ONCE YOU CAN GET AN IMAGE TO SHOW UP ON THE APP. It should not take 10 to 15 minutes to load the camera. I have the newest iPhone a long with what I previously stated, WiFi extender not more than 20 ft from camera along with a hi speed business wifi account. It’s not my wifi. It’s the camera software. Too slow to be of any use on demand.

Horrible, don't buy. Useless.

Horrible, I bought 2 battery ones thinking the 50% sale of deal was a great discount but little did I know that they always have this "sale". The tell should have been when I couldn't find 1 youtube review on these. I charged and connected, these are so spotty, even when it is near the wifi, it still doesn't catch most motions, even when set on high. It also, has no way to turn off, if I don't want them to record during the day or if I wanted to store them, you have to pull out the battery. Even more stupid is the schedule, I want to only record at night but it won't let you set a schedule from night to following day, it reads as error. you can only set a schedule for morning to night in same day. I don't need these to record during the day, I wanted to record at night when I am sleeping so these are not only junk and poorly made, poor connectivity, poor interface, these also don't do the one job even decently that they are suppose to do which is record.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

TerribleSetup.No Instructions. 50% chance it works

Camera is great....when it works. I bought two and one connected okay but takes a while to boot up anytime I open the app and sometimes I have to take it down and pull the battery to reset it to get it to connect. The second camera won't read the QR code to connect to the app so it's a useless hunk of plastic.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good cameras, bad button?!

I bought two battery operated cync cameras and even purchased the solar panel as well. They both worked great but, at that time, I was having problems with my wifi. So, to sum my issue up, I ended up having to reset the cameras a few seperate times to get them to connect and both cameras ended up doing the exact same thing. The reset button went out so I could not reset the camera. This was VERY frustrating because I only had the cameras about a month. Overall...the cameras were great until mt issues arose.
I would recommend this to a friend!
