The signal range on these things makes them just about unusable. You cant get a couple rooms away. Surly this isn't normal for this product. Is it worth keeping, or is signal range this bad all the time? I will return tomorrow if it cant be made better. I have turned off all Wifi that I dont need, and tried positioning the base all over the house, but there is always 1 or 2 cameras that keep going offline.

I have worked out that different cameras have wildly different ability when it comes to range. I am taking the cameras I have that have short range, and getting them exchanged, and will keep doing do until i get a full suit that work

I replaced the camera that was struggling, the new one is a lot better, and closer to the best of the others. 

But what idiot come up with the mounting idea for the magnetic cup type mount.. That pathetic screw and clip. Obviously has zero experience and never had to do any mounting in the past.. what a piece of rubbish..

I would suggest putting a lot more work into you products before release. I have just gone through the pain of purchasing your expensive products, and having very little work as it should. Still dont have it up and running fully.
