UPDATE 18 MAY 2021: After going back and forth for hours in an idiotic email exchange with customer service, they are refusing to replace this camera. They insist it must be an SD Card problem even though I am using the SD card they suggest and have tried multiple SD Cards now. The fact that you can get it to work by going through a crazy start-stop-start again sequence suggests it is not the card and is the camera, but they did not listen.
Downgrading my rating to 1-star for abysmal customer service. This is basically money down the drain.
I have to agree with a previous reviewer. This camera is not ready for prime time.
Out of the box, it just didn't want to record video for more than about 10 seconds. I wasted two days of rocket launching thinking it was recording and I got exactly 0.0 video.
After reading the other reviewer's suggestion to start recording, stop recording, then immediately start recording again, that method worked. Sounds idiotic, but it works.
WiFi connection with my Pixel 3 flat out doesn't work. Most times, it just won't connect. When it does, the camera crashes after you start recording video. App crashes constantly.
On iOS, the situation for me is better. On my iPad, it can maintain the WiFi connection and doesn't crash the camera, but you still have to do the start-stop-start again trick or the video just stops recording after 10 seconds.
The quality of the picture is good, but when a device fails its primary function without resorting to an inane sequence, something is very wrong. The fact that you can't just push the "Record" button and have it work is a serious issue.
