Thank you for a brilliant video, you have given me confidence to buy one knowing what to expect when it arrives, how to set it up, and what the performance is like, so useful. Cheers from the UK.

Thanks for watchin, I have 4 of them now, love them

[@CIintB3ASTW0oD]

@@WOODZMAN I will watch your video because I just bought one, but I need 2 more. Before I order them, is there a monthly or yearly fee? I will use a SD card, but I would like real time viewing and motion alert.

[@WOODZMAN]

There is no fee at all, the only fee is if you use the cloud service but I don’t. You can monitor it anytime from anywhere. It will also send you motion alerts to your Rhine and record the clips to the SD card

Many thanks for this video, it was a lot easier to set up watching this rather than using the manual. I got one yesterday - 4th December and the menu seems a bit different, unfortunately. Under Recording management, all is has is event recording and sd card capacity. The only thing I can do here it seems is to format the card, yet you were able to set recording time. Also I can't see any option to set HD as you did. Not sure if this is because of an update or because of different country, England.

[@WOODZMAN]

It always records in HD, what you are seeing is the viewing of the live video, when viewing live video you will says SD on the screen, click that to HD. You can’t set it to continuously record for a set amount of time. You can set the time to when the Alarm recording works. Do this by clicking on the gear”settings” then, Alarm Management, Alert Plan, then, then Add Time Period.

[@davidschenck6894]

@@WOODZMAN Thanks for that. I know you can't record continuously but what I was referring to was the duration that you set @7.08 in your video to 1 minute. I have now found that although mine only allows 10,20 or 30 seconds, not the length of time yours has.

[@nuuch3679]

I have a question. I have 3 of these cameras. 1 at home 2 at another location. I bought a second camera for home and it only shows motion detection pictures, no live video. I use 5GH for older camera. New camera will not work with either 2.4 or 5GH. Cameras at other location work fine, but new camera will not connect to live. (I returned first camera thinking it was defective. New camera does the same) I don't understand why the new camera will not be recognized or show live video.

Great video thank you for sharing. A friend of mine has one of these cameras and has been unable to get the recording/notifications features working.
