Getting 7 Day Storage Back: A Legacy Camera Solution

Hello everyone! I wanted to share my recent success in getting my legacy cameras back online and restoring my 7-day storage. It’s been quite the journey, but I’m thrilled to have everything working smoothly now. Let me walk you through what I did in case you’re facing similar issues.First, I moved houses a few years ago and lost access to my original GoPro cameras. After some persistence, I managed to add one back to my account, but the other two were a real puzzle. The support team was helpful with the base station but hit a wall when it came to the legacy cameras. They mentioned using an Android device, but my family only has iPhones. I was worried I might have to give up on those cameras, but I decided to keep trying.After about two weeks of relentless attempts, I finally got one camera added back. It was a mix of relief and frustration, especially since the other two still eluded me. I tried everything from resetting the cameras to reinstalling the app multiple times. The support team assured me that the 7-day storage was still available, but I couldn’t see it in my account. It was frustrating to have everything set up properly with routines but no recordings showing up.One suggestion from support was to remove the camera and re-add it, but I was hesitant after the 50 attempts it took to get the first one back. I was determined to find a better way. I stumbled upon a thread suggesting a workaround involving the Android emulator on a PC. It sounded a bit technical, but I decided to give it a shot.Using the emulator, I logged into my account and managed to add the remaining cameras without any issues. It was a bit of a hack, but it worked! Once the cameras were added, the 7-day storage became visible, and everything started recording as it should. I couldn’t believe how much time and effort it took, but it was worth it to have my cameras back online.I want to thank the support team for their patience and the community for the tips that helped me through this. If anyone else is struggling with legacy cameras, don’t give up! Keep trying different methods, and eventually, you’ll find a solution. It’s amazing how a little persistence can pay off in the end.If anyone has questions or needs advice on getting their legacy cameras back, feel free to ask. I’m happy to share what worked for me and help others avoid the frustration I went through. Happy camera hunting! :package::camera_flash:
