All of my 6 cameras stopped getting Gmail after midnight status's. Is this a GOOGLE problem? I pulled memory cards, they have data on them, so cameras are taking them, they are just not getting to my GMAIL.
All of my 6 cameras stopped getting GMAIL after midnight status reports. Is this a GOOGLE problem?
I pulled the memory cards out of cameras, they recorded data that I viewed on my computer.
Pictures are just not available, or being sent to my GMAIL. All else in my GMAIL seems to be ok.
I made no changes.

I don't know how old the camera is, but my guess is that if the switch is worn out, it's old enough that it's probably not worth the money that it would cost to repair it. The actual switch is soldered to the board, I think. You can contact support@spartancamera.com if the camera is still under warranty.
Have you tried cleaning the switch? Here are some instructions I wrote that should help. I've had to clean the switches on several of my cameras over the years.
- Remove batteries and SD card.
- Put a piece of tape across the switch and another across the cursor buttons to keep the buttons attached to the inside cover when you remove it.
- Unscrew the four tiny screws (one in each corner) holding the inside front cover in place.
- Spray electronics contact cleaner on the switch and move the switch back and forth rapidly several times.
- After the contact cleaner has dried, put four batteries (two top, two bottom, leftmost side of battery compartment) in the camera, as well as the SD card.
- Turn the camera to setup and see if it comes up properly, turns on properly, shuts off properly. If it doesn’t, repeat.
- Put everything back together.
