I've had the cameras for 3 months and everything had worked fine. Three days ago 1 of the 3 cameras lost connectivity. The system is:
1) replaced the battery - did not work
2) restarted base - did not work
3) removed the camera and synced it again - worked, but lost connection minutes after it was back outside
4) repeated #2 - same result
The problem camera is the one closest to the base. The other 2 cameras are further away and work fine. I also have 3 lights that work just fine.
Please help.

Is it possible to switch locations with the trouble camera/working camera? You can also try and use one of the batteries from a working camera and test.

I have tried 3 different batteries.
I have moved the camera to 3 different spots. Next to the base being one of them. And the camera keeps losing connection and going offline.

By email, yes. Sent a message, with description of problem, serial number, etc, yesterday. Have not heard back.
By phone, no. Will try, even if I am over the 90 days support is supposedly available by phone. My system was delivered 08/30/19.

Yeah, the lights are connected to a bridge. The cameras are connected to the base station. To me it seems my problem is with the camera and not the base. The 2 other cameras I have have no issues. And are further from the base than the one with problems. Though I have moved the one with problems and it has issues regardless of distance to the base
