Poor battery life, falls of network, late to react, etc.

Why is this camera a steaming pile of **bleep** with no battery life? Can't get a solar charger to work in direct sun. Constantly falls off the network. It's late to react with sensitivity turned all the way up. Video cuts off before motion/time setting ends. I want my money back.

The symptoms you're describing point to a possible connectivity issue. This could be due to the location of the camera. As a test, try temporarily relocating the camera to see if you continue experiencing the same behavior, make sure the signal strength icon for the camera within the app shows good signal strength in the new location.
