I just got and installed a Q. I cannot set up monitoring zones. I see the picture from the camera fine when I am just watching the video. When I try to create a Zone to set up monitoring, it doesn't show me my video feed. I just see a gray background and a white resizable box. No video. I tried on my Laptop as well as my iPhone. Same result on both. Help please.

Try resetting the Q using the reset button until the camera clicks and the LED flashes amber.

Since I can see the video fine in the regular monitoring software screen, why would it be a camera problem? Sounds like a problem with the Create Zone software.

I could easily agree with you but without a known configuration of the camera we'd both be guessing.

OK. I did a reset. Exactly the same problem, plus I am back to a previous problem where the option to invert the picture is grayed out. So now I have two problems.
