    On 8/30 I ordered 2 Floodlight cam wired Pro
    On 9/9 they were delivered
    On 9/10 I tried to install them. After powering them up and spending approximately 3 hours troubleshooting with Tech support the camera came online and worked.
    On 9/10 10 minutes after hanging up from support at approx 610pm HST the camera stopped working
    On 9/11 I spent another 3 hours on the phone or troubleshooting with 2 agents and after a long time of working with them they stated the camera was bad and they would send me a new one. I specifically asked for a confirmation number and the agent said "When we hang up an email will be sent with that information"
    I never recieved an email
    On 9/12 and 9/13 I spent approximately 3 hours on hold and trying to get through to someone for assistance and I was unable to get a hold of a live person since I work until 7pm HST.
    On 9/14 I initiated a chat with support asking for the replacement information and the support had no record of a replacement being requested.
    I asked for a replacement and they refused to send me one due to me not having the MAC address despite me providing all other information such as order number, tracking number, my personal phone, email and physicall address
    I asked for a full refund and instructions on where to mail the defective products to and they refused to help me with that stating they dont deal with returns.
    I spend a total of about 9 hours of total time of trouble shooting, phone calls, hold and chatting with agents.

    I would like a full refund for the items I bought. I would also like a check for the amount of time and money I wasted trying to install a defective product, as well as the total amount of money I spent on running hard wires to the locations to install the cameras. My billable hourly rate is $250 per hour. I spent approximate $1000 on tools and parts to run the wires and my time. Hanging on a ladder 20ft in the air for hours on end with tech support is dangerous and they also need to change proce
