3.0 App needs to be dumped

FWIW. Been using beta 3.0 since it went to beta. I have 8 cams, different models. When I first I stalled 3.0 beta I put all 8 cams in favorites. Disaster. So bad I turned all cams to lowest resolution. Didn’t help. What I observed is as you scrolled favorites the cameras in focus would start streaming. Timeouts, etc. Then I observed that all the cameras continued streaming (red light on) even if I left favorites. Even if I went to the “accounts” tab the cameras kept streaming. The o ly way to shut them up was to close the app.

Work around. Until Wyze fixes this I have a work around that is working. I put all 8 cameras in a group and put the group in favorites. Night and day difference. The cameras only start streaming when they are on screen focus. Most importantly they stop streaming when not in focus.

Results. Yes it is one extra click to open the group but the results are outstanding. I now have all cameras on max resolution. Before the app would crash/hang multiple times per day. Now on day three with no app resets and the cameras load fast(1-3 seconds).

Until the engineers fix this I am leaving all 8 cameras in a group.
