Wireless outdoor camera se

My camera was working great for about 5 days then all of a sudden it stopped recording any events and does not notify me of any motion or sound events. I got this to watch my mailbox because I've had credit cards stolen from my mailbox along with other identity sensitive material. The live feed works fine and I can record manually. I've check all settings, there are no rules in place effecting it. The detection zone is set and camera is adjusted in the PIR area. I even stood in front of the camera and started waving my arms. It's not recording, it's not detecting. I have turned it off and back on several times. Nothing is working. The online support page says it can not be factory reset. I feel like I got a defective device or something. I'm not happy, but I guess you get what you pay for and since it was one of the cheapest home security cameras I could find I should have known it wasn't going to be what I expected. I'm so disappointed because I already gave it a 5 star review before it stopped working.

    Just a question, did your free trial run out?  Without a subscription you can only view live video it won’t store events in the cloud.

      Not sure about you but I just purchased my outdoor wireless camera yesterday and even after increasing the sensitivity settings and switching my subscription to the new camera,  it doesn’t capture any triggers unless it is 2 feet in front of the camera.  Useless and I will returning it if Roku Danny doesn’t come back with a more helpful response.
