Have you removed and reconnected the camera? Also, you show 2 different bases - 4500 and 5000 - which are you using for local recordings? Is the camera connected to that base?

Bring the camera closer to the hub and test. If still no good, use the Contact Support link at the bottom here.

I'm having the same issue. Cameras are working, but not detecting ANYTHING or recoding. No settings have been changed. Rebooted the Hub - didn't help. The little blue light on the camera isn't coming on nor does the motion sensor light come on. HELP

Since you say the cameras are working I assume you have Live view? Do you have a current Smart subscription if the year long trial on Ultra ran out? If you have local recording set up do you have recordings there. When you said no blue light on the camera are you trying to pair it again to the Hub?

I’m just thinking of throwing it out and selling all my other cameras very frustrating.. it recording to hub as I have a sad card in it . But for under a second.. it’s doesn’t record to cloud.. when pushing live recording it won’t work .. light comes on when motion is detected. I’ve had enough lol thanks

Just figured that out. Got out all paperwork and didn't realize my 1 year included subscription expired 4-12-21. Packages for the plan state UP TO 5 CAMERAS. We have 8.....so do I have to buy 2 packages?

This is getting very frustrating and costly. Thanks

You purchase a 5-camera plan, and then add three more cameras. The additional three are half the price when you have a 5-camera subscription.

For example, with current US pricing, Premier would be $9.99 for five cameras, plus about $4.50 per month for the remaining three. Elite would be $14.99 + about $7.50 per month.

@diann Its not uncommon to forget on Ultra when the year long trial runs out, that's why I asked.

Glad it was simple.
