ViewTop Criticism
+1 pts“Help me out, same situation here. Both of my cameras (DC57 and mini2) stopped uploading to the vault, the mini2 doesn't let me setup wifi anymore, and the interface speed has worsened. I've been resetting, reformatting and troubleshooting these cameras in my living room for two weeks, with nothing improved. 'm not a tech guy and don't understand what's at work. What exactly kills these devices in 2 or 3 years? Is this Garmin's planned obsolescence? I'm a very frustrated and ungrateful Garmin fan right now.”
