vmc203

[jbhuntington]

5 Cameras to start 3yrs ago. 

One solar array installed at that time.

Tried to add a Second solar array to a 2nd camera. 30days later camera is dead- will not function or charge.

Buy a new camera- install on same array. While the camera did survive the array does not appear to function. 

Arlo asks if I have the right hook up... how many ways can you possibly hook of a vmc203? Arlo wanted pictures, I did not respond- back to how many ways can you plug in the array? 

Fast forward to Spring 2024- down to 4 cameras. Not one will capture animal activity. Cats, Racoons, skunks nothing. They might capture a person leaving the house in the evening with an 80lb dog but won't show their return. One camera is watching the front door with feed bowls. Never sees the cats or animals 8ft away. I just lost two separate animals due to a violent end with the cause being another animal. Camera's did not pick up a deadly occurrence just feet away. I can look out my window at Fox and 40lb racoons and the cameras show them live but won't record them. Way to many troubles for a system I have nearly a $1000 into. Going to hard wire cameras.
