My camera keeps going offline, I’m constantly changing batteries, doing power cycles, even resetting it but it will come on for sometimes a few hours then go offline again. I haven’t done anything different. It worked great until the whole subscription thing happened. It’s super frustrating and now that I’m paying m a subscription fee every month for something that doesn’t even work, it’s more frustrating! I’ve even moved the base closer to the camera even though I never had to before when it worked good. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? I literally tried everything and even have it connected to a wifi extender but no luck.

This is with the original Wire-Free camera?  (The one with the four CR-123 batteries)?

Ok.  Do you only have the one camera?

 

When the problem occurs, is the base going off-line, or just the camera?

 

One possibility is that the extender is dropping the connection to the router (which unfortunately can happen with extenders).
