I am a Senior Technical Advisor in IT/Systems (30 years at a Telco). Used to be a CO Tech, Unix Admin, Data Center Architect, and now do System SecurityWally what do you do? It must be something technical. I am a project manager for an MSP (IT company) and I feel like you could be one of our t2 or t3's haha.
1 star on amazon for the first camera.. haha I trust your review more than the lone review on Amazon. I will note this and may circle back later for your tips n tricks. Do you use any things like Ring for your doorbell? I want one or something like it to monitor my front door.
My passion has always been technology....since my Days as a kid, playing with my Commodore Pet, C64, Amiga (which I still have and am restoring). All kind of electronics, Ardiuno, Home Automation, DIY, etc.
Many BAD reviews on Amazon are due to non-technical/Advanced users.
Non-techies WANT PLUG A PLAY...No User Controlled Power/flexibility.
No complex advanced setups.
Thus the Bad reviews. (but some review are bad, because some Cheap Knock offs are BAD) Dlink, Linksys, etc are not
Believe me the 5010/5030 is only for advanced users (but will also work for basic stuff for anyone).
People want easy and simple. So thus the evolution towards limited solutions. They work, but when it comes time for integration of many technologies, that hasn't evolved to any standards yet. (possibly 2-5 years and it may).
People Love Apple stuff since it's easy. That works for artists, musicians, and those that put in their efforts toward other skills.
I did see my Friends RING Doorbell. Works, easy. But my DL5010 does the same and more.
