Re: Indoor Camera not recording longer then 12 seconds

I don't have these settings. Wonder why. I sure wish they'd fix this thing.

Re: Indoor Camera not recording longer then 12 seconds

 I have the same issue and my indoor camera app doesn’t have the ability to set the recording length. Let’s get this fixed. Maybe it’s a case for my States office of consumer affairs. Definitely not getting what we paid for.

Re: Indoor Camera not recording longer then 12 seconds

I bought another camera exactly the same and it records fine. It is exactly the same everything - model, firmware, WiFi, everything - but I bought it in Michigan (where the cameras were working correctly) versus Texas (and brought it back to Texas). I think the 12 second cameras are a bad lot. We should start returning them.

Re: Indoor Camera not recording longer then 12 seconds

My outdoor floodlight camera used to record longer, but now only records for 12 seconds. I would like someone to contact me or point me in the direction of who to contact to resolve this issue. I pay for a camera subscription and they are currently worthless.

Re: Indoor Camera not recording longer then 12 seconds

I'm having the exact same issue. The service and cameras just seem to get worse as time goes on. I have missed a couple major events due to its inability to activate now with motion. I have un-installed and reinstalled several times and it still won't work. I have made sure lenses and plugs are clean and clear of debris. The indoor cameras will no longer work with the internet even if I shut down G6 and go to 2.4 I cannot get them connected. I have basically thrown away money and I'm not happy about it. And I'll make it easy for which ones are recording for 12 seconds. I have at least one of EVERY camera and they are all doing that even if I set it to record for 3 minutes.

Re: Indoor Camera not recording longer then 12 seconds

These cameras have become almost useless the last month or so! I wish there would be an update to fix them!
