Most of them work 70% of the time. The rest of the time, they don't connect from my phone. Sometimes for a few minutes, then they work again, most of the time they just stop working for the day until I reboot them - the damn things continue to alert me though... Not super useful when you think you have a credible alert... I have tons of bandwidth, as far as I know that is reliable (when I work from home it never drops)...
Just curious if you guys found a brand/model that *consistently*, without fail, always connects you and gives you a picture. I'm starting to think it could be my wifi router...

If they never drop when you are at home what makes you think it's your WIFI router?
Sounds like you are saying you have trouble in areas where the reliability of the connection is questionable.
Try running them through a server.
Basically build a box that all the cameras connect to and let that stream.
See if they are on the compatibility list here.
