Battery and power change over

[Brownee]

Hey guys.

I initially installed my cameras on battery. No problems. I have now run power cables to them but they won't connect when power is on. Do I need to change a setting somewhere?

As far as I know there isn't a setting you need to change. Are you using the weatherproof cable?

Do you have the optional power cable plugged in securely and feeding towards the FRONT of the camera? (Both have been problems reported by other customers.)

We've had a battery camera for 19 months, plugged in with the 10-meter optional power cable. It is "Live" at all times, and under Battery | Settings it shows as "Plugged in" with an infinity symbol.

Hi guys..... so it seems that now I have change from "max" to " high" video quality on all cameras the WiFi can just keep up. ( most of the time). Cameras are playing the game properly now. Thanks for your responses. I must just have a slow or very busy WiFi.
