If someone shared 2 cameras with me, and then I added my own camera, can that person see my camera or it only me that can view it?
What are the best power settings for one that has a solar panel? When I set the power source to the solar panel, my camera turned off at night even though the battery was still full.
My Vicohome app is used with an Annke Whiffle doorbell. The app was automatically updated recently and since that update the doorbell has not notified a bellpush activation, but does notify a PIR detection. I have tried ‘notification’ and ‘phone call’ but neither will sound a notification on my Android phone whereas I used to before the update.
There should be a manual available!
Sorry I bought the Zeeporte CG6S cameries>
