I have had these for almost a year, at first they were great, they would automatically record 12 second of video and then send me a notification that there was movement. Now they are requiring that I pay a monthly or yearly fee. Now I bought these because I have a stalker who has cut brake lines and slashed tires. I am encredibly disappointed that I payed 200$ for two cameras and a home base to now only be told that I need a monthly subscription in order to feel safe in my home.
