Aosu Cameras malfunctioning and not recording events

So, as an Aosu multi camera user(20) all connected to a multi access point network, with network connectivity reporting between 80% to 100% signal on all cams. Cameras are of the older variety requiring power to include models; C5L2DA, C5E, and several C2E cameras. Due to the fact that i have redundant camera viewing the same areas but from different angles, i have noticed for the last several months that the cameras are not recording events that others do and the ones that do get the video of interest, its missing vital video it should have recorded. I do not like being the conspiracy type, but i believe i can trace this back to when cloud storage is being pushed. Today i looked at the plans and noticed there are 2 plans. The Basic Plan was like 4 plus dollars a month per camera and features that there is an enhanced people detection in the basic plan. Well, in summation, its pretty clear what may be going on here…Get my Drift? Its unfortunate because now i have to look into a new product that is subscription free that hopefully has enhanced people detection and will record important events that occur at my site as well as my client’s. It was a good run with the Aosu Camera’s, maybe close to 2 years. Unless Aosu can tell me how to fix these growing faults, i think these camera’s days are numbered.

Da stimme ich Ihnen voll zu.sind oft keine Aufnahmen von Personen.besonders bei der klingel

I have had the same issue on one of my cameras over the last few weeks. The camera would basically go to sleep and not record an event unless I was in the app live. Seems to have corrected itself now after contacting tech support. Sounds like a back end issue to me.

Mine don’t pickup everything either. It gets MOST things but you’re right, there’s a lot they miss.

Maybe, the malfunctioning has morphed into different problems lately. I now have several cameras needing a hard reboot every few days because they are recording events, without events actually occurring for 10 minutes, that’s right 10 minute recordings of nothing ..event after event for a recording time of 10 minutes on the dot. The whole thing is is very frustrating. I’m in limbo with how I’m going to remedy these evolving malfunctions.

I noticed the same thing with both of my cameras after doing some digging and it happens daily multiple times also it just doesn’t even try to acknowledge people literally standing in front of the camera.. I have stood multiple times infront of the camera moving around and it doesn’t even trigger the motion sensors set on maximum day or night with & without inferred… ridiculous and then I get adds for subscriptions to features that should be working for free… they should have just said 3 years free then features reduced unless you upgrade your free device for features that have been moderated after 3 years… WTF if it does not change or get better back to how it was originally at the end of the year I’ll be looking for a different system/ brand altogether…
