Problems with the application and video in the cloud

Cons: I bought this camera to monitor my apartment when it's away for a long time and get notifications if anyone ever enters my apartment . One thing I wanted from the camera is the ability to upload videos instantly as soon as it detects movement. The goal is for the camera to "live stream" the video feed as the action occurs, so if a perpetrator turns off the camera, any video recorded prior to the moment the camera was turned off will be in the cloud. However, this camera records a "video clip" and then uploads the file. I tested this by turning on the motion sensor and turning off the camera after 15 seconds. However, there was no video footage in the cloud and any footage stored on the memory card was corrupted. Another major issue with this camera is the customization options in the Reolink app. I keep getting the "connection failed" issue when trying to change the settings in the camera app. This happens most of the time and I usually just give up and try again after a few minutes. For reference, I'm using a 5 GHz connection about 15 feet from the router with a drywall between the camera and the router. Also, my Wi-Fi speed is an average of 115Mbps upload and 6Mbps upload and 10ms ping. Pros: Image quality is excellent, including night vision. The motion sensor seems to work well and draws my attention to the app almost immediately. very good
