 I saw 7 weeks of cloud storage when I bought this, but now I'm only seeing 1 GB. Does that I can only save it for 7 weeks? Because I can hardly see stressing about where I'm going to save my 1 GB of mp4 footage.

No, what you saw was 7 days of storage not weeks;

and don't worry, its about < than 1 meg per ten seconds of video, your 1 gb will be fine for temp storage... Offload and save any thing you deem important.

No, under the Premier plan you can also only hook up one base station.

 

Your resulting limitations are as follows:

 

  1. Per base station you can have up to four concurrent video streams.
  2. Range.

besides, of course, the maximum number of cameras that can be hooked up.

 

So, if you wanted to be able to record more than four concurrent video streams, use more than 10 cameras, or needed to extend your coverage beyond what a single base station provides, you'd have to subscribe to the Elite plan and buy more (sets with) base stations.

It is probably dependent on which country you're in. Not all countries are supported yet, I think.

 

Please contact support to get a definitive answer.

 

I'm just a user just like you.

I believe here is where confusion comes, and I am confused too. What does this mean exactly: "Basic. 7 Days of Cloud Recording".

Is it like: I am allowed to use the Basic for free for ONLY first 7 days?

Or, if I do weekly review, on each SUN I have to remove all records from the last MON, so I can keep my tomorrow MON covered. And repeat the same procedure each day, to erase the oldest day out of 7.

And what happens if between MON and SUN there are no recording during TUE and WED? Would it make it 5 days on SUN? Or 7 days anyway?

And what about 1GB limit? What if 1GB comes at 5-th day?

If there are so many confusions on the subject - it should be properly addressed, at least within the FAQ.

Please explain.

You have for basic/free 7 days of storage to 1 GB...

On the 8th day, the videos from the 1st day will go into your recycle bin ...simple.

The recycle bin will hold for another 7 days (tho it's more like 2 weeks due to slow house-keeping ) before deleteing
