Got about 16 of these cams, so I somewhat familiar with all the details.
Last week, relocate 1 (v1) cam from one location to new location. (new wifi)
Reset camera, and setup as usual. Shows up in account no problem and so forth.
This is the strange part; shortly after setting up, realize cannot connect to cam (video stream stuck at 3 or 3) after I leave the location.
Chalk it up to user error or something… next time I’m back there, I reset and so forth- get it working again.
Leave, same thing happen- cannot connect to video stream. Try restarting remotely multiple times, and always same result.
Long and short, after trying a bunch of things, I realize the camera will only like to connect the video stream if I set the IR (Night vision) to “ON” Since this camera is looking out a window, I normally never set it to on.
I’ve been able to reproduce this issue constantly since then.
Also, if I set night vision to “ON” the camera will connect, and then after connecting - if I set it to “OFF” the feed kb rate will drop to 0k and camera will be disconnected… Set app back to night vision “ON” and it’ll reconnect and work fine as long as it’s set that way.
I have numerous other v1 and v2 cams which have no problem.
See attached pics.

Edit: I should add that I had zero problem with the camera before moving locations, and the IR was always set to “OFF”
