I have a couple pan cams and now a more recent camera capable of “2k” and the images on all of them are horrible. I think Wyze needs to rethink how they compress or record data, because the images are large despite being low quality, and the streams suffer from bandwidth despite being low resolution…

[image] nj9: The camera is located in a building with a 100 megabit upload connection and being viewed from a home with a 400 megabit download connection. Bandwidth shouldn’t be an issue. Your internet connection and your wifi are two different things. 2.4ghz wifi with a single stream (what …

“they are reporting actual resolution” What they are doing is stupid and they should stop it. They should stream in a lower resolution and compress less, so that the image doesn’t look so bad. “you’d have to put the SD card in your PC…” The SD card footage is just as potato. “Your internet conne…

Don’t take this as criticism or justifying Wyze, just trying to help you understand what you’re up against. [image] nj9: They should stream in a lower resolution and compress less, so that the image doesn’t look so bad. I wouldn’t be against that. My 720P dash cam which records around 100MB…

[image] dave27: A 2.4ghz device that is far from the router and connected at a very low link speed? major hit to your bandwidth. [image] Updates for Wyze Cam Unlimited - 5/9/2024 If you have (over)killer WiFi coverage (mesh or otherwise) your 4-cam live view is probably just fine. I find i…

[image] peepeep: So it’s a known thing. Interesting. :slight_smile: Yep, wifi is “lowest common denominator”. Newer standards have helped reduce the impact, but the impact is still there and can be very significant, especially when you start mixing old and new devices with different standard…

[image] dave27: I use minimum RSSI to kick devices when they hit a certain signal threshold, I’m not sure what this :point_up: is, but it reminded me of this: [image] Different levels of "reset" Also, scanning for optimization goosed things nicely - whereas actually optimizing was a net n…

[image] peepeep: I’m not sure what this :point_up: is Basically just an AP setting that says if client signal falls below a certain level, disconnect (deauth) it. In my case this is more for having it switch more quickly from 5 to 2.4 when I go outside, or switch my phone to mobile data more…

[image] dave27: Yep, wifi is “lowest common denominator”. Just like RAM :slight_smile:

You could always download more RAM. The question is: Would You Download a CAR!?

Not getting your joke!? I haven’t come across a downloadable RAM (Random Access Memory). I was implying that as with RAM the speed is governed by the slowest chip in the memory bank.

Camera resolution is HOT GARBAGE, forget "hd" and "2k", think potato

I’m not sure what this is, but it reminded me of this:
