    Anyone know how to get this to work with virgin media broadband?

    Connected fine for me first. Then the second time I plugged in I had to reset it a few times

    What is your issue with it. It appears to work fine for me and I am Virgin Media. Just connect it to your 2.4GHz wifi

    Looking at YouTube, it seems the issue may be that my phone is on the 5ghz network not the 2.4. I'll give it another go.

    I have it connected to my 2.4 house network and it works fine. My phone and laptop are both 5GHz and no issue there.

    Mine arrived today, kinda a bit annoyed with the fact that it's limited unless you sign up for the monthly subscription

    Am I correct in saying if I was using the above versions from github, it wouldn't allow the two way / one way of sound?

    Stick an SD micro in it. There is no need to sign up to their cloud service. 64gb gets me over a week of recording

    Use a SD card , no need for the cloud service.

    I'm not actually sure. I got the hacked firmware on it and then promptly realised I've no specific use for it at the moment so it's back in the box for now :D

    Ah ok, so if i stick a card in it, it will automatically not record to cloud and will just save to SD card?

    It’ll upload a few seconds to the cloud and record either constantly or just movements to the SD card for you to review. You’ll get alerts from movements and can turn review them in the SD card via the app

    Received mine last week - delighted with it - it's really good and the ability to customize alerts is fantastic.
    I'd be tempted by the custom Rom if it was supported with an app and I could upload video to my own cloud storage.
    It's too expensive to use their cloud storage

    Unfortunately this version doesn't seem to have a custom rom with google drive storage capability. If the serial on the back of the camera begins with 9FU then it's an allwinner version and the other roms won't work on it.

    From what I can see this is the only rom available for it but it doesn't have google drive capabilities. Maybe in the future. For now I'll just keep an sd card in it and review them as I need to.

    I didn't order the SD card as I have plenty hanging around. How much did you pay?

    €15.62 per camera. I'm sure the SD card would have been **** but they sent a US plug too which is useless.
    I'm gonna dispute a few quid for their messing.

    Lads,

    How good are the notifications / alerts you get when these cameras are active.
    Would you get one while motion is detected / attempting a break in or would it after the event.
    Any input??
