The absence of dangling is the issue. But perhaps we should move on.

So, how about that AC2200, eh? Better than AC2199 by a country mile!
@Customer When are you gonna break the 
and snag a v3? Has the OP put you off on 'em?
I believe @ssummerlin is adequately v3ād. 
Anybody hot for a Wyze brand wifi router? Rumor has it there are rumors flyingā¦

Interesting. I have never had this problem with a V3, at all. I am having issues with a garage door controller paired with a V3, but the 2 V3ās I use all the time have always stayed on and accessible with no issues whatsoever.

Hey Brian
Would you trust them as components of your sole security system?
No. I cannot see myself trusting them with security, since they say they donāt do security.
No locking system. Cameras are passive; if they screw up nothing happens. If my front door, garage door or gun safe is left open, something non-passive could occur.

This has not been the case for more than a year now. They indeed say they do security now.
What is the difference between passive and active cameras? Iām not sure I understand the difference.

I think he or she is saying that a failed camera has less impact than the other things mentioned (because their roles are not passive).

I confess, I canāt argue for or against trusting them as sole security because I canāt get interested enough in hard security.
Their old refrain, use the cams to ākeep an eye on things,ā is how Iāve always and still use them and this suits me perfectly. They give me a rough sense of whatās going on around me in the neighborhood and thatās exactly what I want. Even the āmissesā inherent in the 5 minute cool-down with Cam Plus Lite donāt bother me. *
I may not be a good example, or maybe thereās a big segment just like me, I donāt know. I would like to know, but I donāt. And I try to keep the following in mind:
Click the 
to see the table. 
* I also use SD cards in the cams to record Events locally (no cool-down) but there are no notifications generated by SD Events.

Ah that makes more sense. I misunderstood and was confused. 
Thanks.

I too never had these problems with v3 until recently. My v2 cameras never have these issues. I have to reboot on a weekly basis on random v3 cameras.

Exactly. Thank you.

Exactly. Just donāt leave my garage door open or front door unlocked. I donāt need a bathroom scale for a security device.

We occasionally need to power cycle one of our V2s or Cam Pans, but itās not very often, maybe once every other month one of the cameras needs a reset. However, one of the cameras stopped at a very unfortunate time.
We have a Cam Pan on our front porch. Where itās aimed there are two bird feeders in view. One day I saw one of the feedersā hanger was bent way over. The feeder was out on the lawn, and a steel hook that held it to the hanger was actually stretched out.
It would take a human hanging from the bird feeder to maybe do this, but even though we live within a small cityās limits, our area isnāt prone to vandalism, so maybe it was a bear? Bears arenāt common to the area, either, but theyāve been seen in the city from time to time. Good thing we had a camera to catch whatever it was in the act!
That was when we noticed the camera had been offline for a week. Bummer! So now I check the cameras each day.
