The instructions on this are not the greatest. I followed them, but someone who is technically challenged would have a hard time following them. It doesn't appear to hold a charge for more than a couple days - and it wasn't being viewed. Once you plug it in to charge and click on charge, it goes to the pictures and never indicates if it is actually charging OR when it is done charging. I may have taken it off the charge too quickly (2 hours) the first time I charged it, so have decided to let it charge overnight this time.
