I finally had the system working after months of issues, then one day some cameras which had previously been 3 bars for connection are now 1 bar. These are the two farthest cameras (60 feet away from base station through 2 walls and exterior masonry for one of them) from the base, but this has never been a problem before. It's as if the range decreased rapidly in a short period of time. I'm having the same issues as other where videos are taking 10-15 mins to show up in library.

 

Is it possible the base station range has started to degrade? I have tried swapping cameras around, same issue.

I I just went past my ultra base and saw it flashing red, so I opened the app and saw one of the camera had only one bar and it was red, last time I checked it had two bars and strong signal. I opened the video function where you could see youre signal strength and when it was done analyzing it was strong again, and I had two bars and the base station had blue solid light again......Strange.......
