Got my unit new on Friday.
First issue, was it took about 6 power cycles for it to get an IP. Upgraded firmware to 4.2.1 and the observerIP still loses connectivity about a dozen times a day, on average it takes 6 power cycles for it to get an IP again. I have this scripted as: I ping the unit once a minute, if 5 pings fail, the unit is powered off for 1 minute, then powered on for 2 minutes, checks ping and repeats, usually comes back-up by 13 minutes.
Twice this evening the outside loses sync with the observerIP and I have to go out in the beating rain and reset the unit. The first time it happened I brought the unit in and put another 3 brand new fully charged rechargeable batteries in too. The observerIP and outside unit are only about 30 feet away with only a brick wall between them.
Any thoughts?
I am starting to think I got someone's return from Amazon or a highly defective unit. I am debating on returning it and getting another brand.
Can anyone recommend one for 150-200
