We have an owlet with the camera and sock. No subscription yet but also no problem with the camera.

That's good they seem to have fixed the camera. This was over 4 years ago when we got ours. We still have the sock + sock base station for our new baby, but yeah we got rid of the camera. I think part of the problem was the camera only supported 2.4ghz wifi, and where we lived at the time was pretty housing dense, so there was lots of interference. However, that didn't explain why it'd just stop working entirely until we unplugged/replugged it. Oh well, our new monitor system works reliably so no use fretting over the past. Good luck with your kiddos, may your nights be long and restful! 🙂

If you ever need to reset it, based on what else is in the room, I'd just flip a breaker instead.

I'm not sure if you're joking or not but there were times where I literally contemplated doing just that. Unfortunately the nursery's white noise sound machine would also get caught in that crossfire, which ultimately would stay my hand, heh.

It wasn't in jest, but it sucks that wouldn't work. I was throwing it out there because I know how little sleep can mess with the mind.
