same for me. Got it working fine on wifi and remote, but just says no sdcard so no motion capture functionality.. The micro sd card can only go in one way (the metal strips facing towards you).
When rebooting it does actually record to the sd card for a minute but then that’s it, goes back to no sd card.
I tried ap mode 1, didn’t work
then tried ap mode 2 network no dice
but then I tried mode 3, scanned the q code and it found the SSID. wierd..
I like the remote features, but howx ecure is this thing? can others hack the camera?
pretty good for the price.
In alarm settings I don’t have any options to activate motion detection. It either doesn’t do it (although it states it does) or I’m an idiot at the end of my patience. Driving me nuts as everything else works!! Please help!!

There’s no instructions in the Leflet or manual
I am convinced that the ftycampro application is not capable of remote (mobile internet) monitoring. So far, I’ve watched a dozen YouTube videos, but not a single one showed what happens when you turn off the Wi-Fi and turn on the mobile network.
One thing’s for sure, it doesn’t work remotely. No account registration (similar to “ewelink”, “smart life” solutions),
there is no No-IP or DynDNS option.
So how will you allow remote monitoring? No way!
Comes up with invalid ID….why do I think this is a scam???
Hi, it keeps coming up with invalid ID when trying to setup ? Any ideas ?
My ftycampro doesn’t connect remotely..app disconnects while trying.. its just disgusting
Hi, how do I use the app and camera away from home in another Country?
You need to use the tutorial above to assign the camera to the local Wi-Fi (at your home). When it’s assigned and connected, you need to find ID and password to your camera (in the settings) to conect it remotely (you can do it wherever, you just need Internet connection (mobile or Wi-Fi).
