my .02 cents..... For the TIME and TROUBLE people spend troubleshooting most cheaply made Chinese cameras, they could have bought a name brand camera and it would be running rock solid from the day they install it. Judging by the time already spent @ $120 USD per hour, you could have bought a top of the line AXIS or other name brand camera.
What is the saying and does this apply? - Penny wise, pound foolish.
