That almost sounds like a phone or connection issue. WHat phone/OS/app version? Have you rebooted the phone and reinstalled the app? Have you tried both WiFi and cell service?

Be glad that that still works! Now, for hours at a time, we get a "timed out" message evert time we try to livestream from any of our cameras. My experience has been that you get about 2 years of useful life out of this system, then it goes due south from there! We replaced our batteries, etc, etc...

Happens here too on Android.

 

Lately getting Alexa to show video isn't working either

So, live streaming works on my Ultra but not my Pro 2s, even going to the CVR timeline view will not show...

 

This is a PC at work.

 

My chromebook at home live streams fine.

 

The work PC will live stream the Pro 2s about once every 5 days for a few mins then freezes.
