    I've gone through all troubleshooting steps multiple times. The app is just about as bad as the cameras. This time around I've had no connection in any of my 4 indoor cameras for almost a week. Can't restart the camera from the app, when I rotate my phone to make the playback full screen the app crashes. This has been an issue the last 2 years I've had these cameras. They shouldn't constantly be showing an error message and having to press reconnect numerous times. Also, when I'm watching the life camera feed for more than a couple minutes the cam will just disconnect and say I have to reconnect. Then it gives a -35 or -45 error message. And they do this on the tv, laptop, amd mobile app. I thought maybe it's just my phone but I've had 3 or 4 different phones since getting these useless things and seeing as it does it no matter the device or what network I'm connected to, I'm gonna blame the camera being garbage. I got these to feel secure and every time I've needed them most they've failed me.
