Hi Jack, Thanks for the reply. I thought of that about the server being down too. But this morning, I can switch my phone back and forth between cell and wifi (same LAN as the camera) and it works right away on wifi and not at all on cell data.

I have a new IP2M-841B-V3 camera. I have two Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phones. The first, call it “VZ”, has no SIM card but I use it often just as a wifi device.
