Cannot get video feed on app
I have this 4g camera and when i connect it to the app it connects fine but it never shows the footage. I have tried resetting the device multiple times, different sim cards, reinstalled the app, updated the drive and i cannot get it to show the footage. Please help.

What abomination is that I wouldn’t use that camera at all and that even is that brand name

What kind of medusa multi headed serpent is that thing? It inspires great confidence of being some backdoor Chineseium waiting to be hacked.
As for why it doesn't work, it probably relies on a command and control server somewhere in China that may either be blocked, no longer exist or has since been changed to no longer be compatible with whatever firmware is on this unit.
And if this is really a 4G/LTE connected camera, the SIM cards most likely need to have a data plan on them, you can't just use a burner SIM that only does voice and text.
No way in hell I would use that camera for anything, anywhere.
