UNRELIABLE: Surveillance Cameras

The good thing is when it works, it works well. My setup consists of 1 iPad and 1 Android phone connected to 1 Argo Pro+ camera. However, after 2 weeks of use, the list of problems is getting longer and longer: - Unable to connect from Android phone. It worked for a while and then stopped. After removing/adding the camera several times it worked again and then stopped working the next day. The connection to the iPad works perfectly. It seems to me that the problem is related to the password and could be due to the android app password expired instead of asking for a new one. Or maybe it's because the firmware of the camera 2 doesn't allow apps to access it for some weird reason. - Recording after PIR detection has a delay of at least 1 second (typically 2 seconds). Because it's not a constant lag, it becomes difficult to position the camera correctly. - Recording time, on the 30 second setting I got 29 second recordings in most cases, but also 3 second and 2 minute recordings. Find out. - Night vision is not very good. People look like ghosts. - No detailed user manual. The support on the site is just a QA list that usually suggests contacting customer support after some obvious answers. - The PIR detection area seems to expand the camera's horizontal viewing angle. I am considering sending the camera in as defective or contacting customer service. hoping to fix some issues. However, a two-year warranty will not fix a poorly designed product.
