If you can find a command that works from a browser, then this could work. I think an in depth read of the manual for the camera may give the answers. If not, a query to the supplier.

It doesn't look like it, but that thread from the dark side seemed to explain it well. Just make sure you can send it back ! Then experiment and post back here to detail your success story for the people that may follow you

Doesn't quite seem right, but I'm wondering if your anti-virus solution is doing this. Can you disable it and test ? It's going to be something weird, and not setting AV exclusions fits that, but then it should affect it when not running as a service too. :!: Have a look if Reliability History gives...

Can you guys send an email to Support and let us know the response ?

Is there anything in common here, like all being wifi cameras or anything ?
