I have the exact same problem. My camera won’t turn off no matter what I try. It won’t restart either. The weird thing is that I’m still able to switch between night vision and regular vision so I know that I’m still connected to the device but I can’t do more than that. I had rules set to turn off and on at sunrise and sunset but I noticed it stopped turning off. I disabled the rules and tried to turn it off remotely but that also didn’t work. No one has access to my camera but me. I even tried using my second smartphone to see if that would resolve the problem but that also didn’t work. What makes it worse is that I paid for my subscription every month and now the camera doesn’t work properly anymore. What can I do to fix it?

ReySure, I noticed the problem on 09/18/23. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, using a different phone, logging in and out, and even set a rule to turn off but nothing worked. At this time I can’t physically unplug the camera due to me being on a trip. Every time I try turning it off “Operation failed” keeps popping up.
