Just one question considering all this wi-fi discussion: why do my non-cloud based Wifi cameras have nearly 100% uptime, if they are on the same network node as the cameras that go offline for hours or days at a time?

Cameras were working fine this morning, but both went offline around 4:30 today. A winter storm is bearing down on us and I really need to get on a ladder and remove these in preparation to return them. I'm perplexed as to why they are so unreliable. I had nearly 100% WiFi signal to them with an...

Running any cables is going to have to wait til spring. Ground is frozen. My indoor wireless cameras are pretty reliable. I do have to reboot one of them every few months, but otherwise they work well. If they were weatherproof I would set more of them up outdoors and power them from solar and...

They stream on demand. It sometimes takes 10-15 seconds for the cameras to 'wake' and then I get a picture of realtime images. The cameras also record to SD card when motion detected. The 3W solar panels actually keep the batteries topped off, even on cloudy days. Batteries are in the camera...

For reference, this is the current camera setup. Toe ioGeek solar powered wi-fi cameras. The work about 80-85% of the time, but go "offline" for hours, sometimes days, for no apparent reason.

The ioGeek cameras never seem to run down their 7000maH lithium ion batteries. They have each a 3 W solar panel feeding the charge port. Even on cloudy days, the panel keeps the battery topped off. The only time one of them dropped to 80% charge was during a heavy snow, which kept the motion...

Hi and thanks for the quick reply. All of that is going to take some time to digest. I wonder if anyone makes a weatherproof wireless camera that can be powered off a solar panel and not require internet, similar to MoleCam or ShieldEye (both can be accessed from a private LAN, but are not...

Expanding our existing system, which is a hybrid of Swann DVR with composite cameras installed ten years ago, a couple of wireless ShieldEye cameras and a MoleCam. Recently, we added wireless doorbell cameras and most recently, two ioGeek wireless cameras at the property line, powered by solar...
