I have a new system with four cameras that were succesfully sinked.  One camera all of a sudder started flashing orange (2 orange blinks) and now it shows that it is not connected.

 

Battery was chaged and recharged and I even swapped in a battery from a working camera.

 

Camera was deleted from account and I tried to re-sink, I reset base station, still noting

 

WHAT DO I DO? NOTHING I TRY WORKS.  JUST TWO ORANGE FLASHES EVERY FEW SECONDS?

 

I HAVE READ ALL OTHER FAQs related to the orange lights and I know I have fully charged batteries...

What happens if you pull the battery AND just power the camera from the ac adapter?

 

Do you get a led blue flash when first plugged in?

 

Also, power the Pro by only the adapter and try to sync it to the base as normal ( after it has been removed from settings ) , what happens?

Hello Steve and Tom

 

What you said did cause the led light to blink blue for a bit : when I deleted the camera from the account and removed the battery and plugged it into my pc with just the usb cable. Next, I tried to sync and the camera worked as long as it was plugged in to the cabloe. When I placed the battery back it started to flash orange again.  Today another camera that worked for two days is saying it is offline and I had to resync.  Do you think my batteries are being drained for some reason or has the camera battery gone bad? I am using the square rechargable batteries that come with the camera.  This system seems extremely unreliable, do you think I should return it? I can't go through this every few days...

 

Please let me know what the contact number is for customer service, I tried to find it and all I found is this FAQ and Message Board.

 

 

Thank you so much for helping
