Ive got a couple of these and am not having the issues you faced. Im using the V360 Pro app on Android. Both of my cameras (purchased from different suppliers) connected without issue, and I've not experienced any slowing down of the software when installing cards in them either. I switched them from HD to UHD and the image quality improved, and Im able to view the video records easily too. The only issue I have is that Im trying to add them to Agent DVR on my PC and cant find a password the cameras use. Overall, for the price I paid I cant complain.

I've had intermittent issues which seem very strange and I think their camera by camera problems. I think for their price they are great but there are a few issues. I found no way of connecting them to any other software other than what they are designed for as I can't find the IP address or password

Any idea if there is room inside to mount an ESP32-CAM microprocessor board. Then you can control the cam as an IP camera and also program the movements. Not certain about the audio. OR, can we hack into the existing Hardware to reprogram it...? Perhaps replace the main chip or what ever processor is inside. Anyone had one of tbese apart yet ???

I’ve had this camera since probably when you first posted this video, but I didn’t have a booklet inside to know what app to go to or anything and so I screenshot the scan sticker on the side and it just takes me to google and doesn’t do anything, but the thing is loud it has talk to me, but I’ve never found an app or a way to view what it films And you didn’t show the booklet or what it was. I would appreciate it. If you could let me know how I can set this up and my iCloud storage is full anyway so I don’t know if this is even gonna work.

I wouldn't like to recommend any but I am now using EZVIZ (TY1) $33 on Amazon. I find the picture better and if you add an SD card it will record and you have access to the recordings through their app. I'm a little closer to being able to hack these and turn them into a proper IP camera but that doesn't mean anything as I may never be able to do it.

So for exterior my house i was using some what i thought was cheap bulb cams (ycc365plus) and had to cover them with hoods to be outside. Like said in video they obviously aren't water proof. And bought these to fit hoods better. One is one a antenna on low roof 12 ft high and cant even see the ground at night with ir on. Or when i flip the lights on. During the day the green grass shows brown. I can't zoom(blow up a spot on my phone) other than the full screen view on the app any. The direction controls dont work on full screen view. Had to add widi access points in the attic just to connect. And yes the antennas are very fake and allow water in. Found a pcb zigbee antenna inside. My two were cheap 6 dollars a piece but i like the size and the directional gears are better than my bulb cams that stripped. I may frankenstein them. I'd love to know what app works best with them? VI365 is not it.
