    One camera won’t charge. By the time I got around to taking it back i see that it’s not return eligible. So I bought 3 cameras but can only use 2. The ones that work are nice. Worried about what I will have to pay once my free trial runs out. I would strongly recommend looking at something else if you plan to buy this.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
