    Every 2 days it does an update and it takes many hours... I made the stupid mistake and bought 2, unfortunately, and both of them do an update every 2 days, maybe I'm even saying too much! An update that lasts 4 to 5 hours, so I don't understand why I would need it if I'm going to lose 4 to 5 hours of the chance to see what's happening in my house!

    For the money, it is very good, good resolution, easy installation and use, and the motion detection that differentiates between a person, pet, movement, and car is very convenient. I am quite satisfied.

    Now regarding the problem that many people mention, which I also had, it is easily resolved. The camera needs a 2.4 network to work and connect. My router (COSMOTE) provides both 2.4 and 5 depending on the distance from the router, and it couldn't connect on the first attempt. I connected it to WiFi only with the 2.4 frequency, updated it, and then it connected and worked normally on my router!

    4 hours of trying to connect to the Cosmote router.. Of course, I created a guest network with a frequency of 2.4 as requested, but nothing.. Eventually, I got tired and will send it back.

    After 2 days, I decided to call customer service, and as soon as I told them what model it was, they told me to connect it to a hotspot to do the update and then back to my network... I did just that, and now everything is working very well.. Strong antenna, AAA quality, and immediate update.

    The issue with the cosmote router has been resolved. It's a bit of a hassle to connect with this router, but once it gets the upgrade, it connects normally. It does its job exceptionally well and has very good picture and sound options. Immediate transmission and notifications. I highly recommend it.

    I have been struggling for 2 hours to connect the V2, I do everything as I should, and in the end it tells me the pairing failed. I repeat all the actions it tells me, same result. Also, the network is fine because I connected 4 other cameras of a different type.
