Anyone recommend a professional camera brand made in the USA? Panasonic??? Bosch? I've tried both Reolink and Amcrest. Both are unusable. Their software is a disaster. The cameras routinely disconnect themselves for no apparent reason. I read that Walmart uses Bosch.
Reolink and Amcrest are not made in the USA....
You are in Europe according to the location tag, so what is your desire for USA made cameras?
Panasonic is made in China.
Bosch is made in several countries, including the USA and China (although they stopped selling those in the US in 2021).
You said they routinely disconnected - were they wifi cameras or going through your router?
Here are the ads in the app I am refering to. There is also an annoying orange dot on the menu bar which notifys me about the reolink captures which I also find annoying. Notification badges are supposed to notify users about important things, not stupid contests or whatever.
My main deal with Reolink is the fact that there reddit moderators are basically just clones of Fenderman. Only in the case of Reolink, I paid money indirectly to support the development of an app that is basically a marketing platform to send promo junk, but also I am being insulted by their Reddit representatives by being told "this is a you issue". And then I got banned for "threatening" to screenshot their conduct and report them to reolink! Funny how they deleted all of their posts pretty quick. Yet this is all my problem.

Look at how the reolink mods talk. Then Google "ipcan talk" and look at the hilarious interactions with Big Mike. I will give him credit though. In most cases the person he is arguing with is usually a dumbass, but I think a little compassion goes a long way whether you are running a reddit forum or this forum
No thanks...I'd rather stick my finger in a pencil sharpener.
BTW, how do know that the reddit moderator in your screenshot is an offical representative for Reolink?
Because that is their "official" group, so by extension all of those mods are official voices of the company.
