Updated 2 WCO cams to 4.17.1.287, one tied to a 4.16.2.26 base station connected via Ethernet the other tied to a 4.16.2.26 base station connected via WiFi. Both cams working well so far, recording AI and non-AI events. ---

Installed with no issues. Will have to look at recorded events to validate WCO with Cam Plus as iOS beta is still not sending notifications. ---

Ran my tests today as promised. I am now being alerted of person and motion on my WCO with the beta update. Great Job on the fix. ---

When will this firmware version be available for the rest of us? (I really hate not having a security system that can’t tell me when someone’s at my door or record proof that a package was left!!! 😒 ) ---
