PLEASE HELP! We have 2 cameras connected to a mobile hotspot. The cameras are the ONLY things connected to the hotspot. We got the cameras to view our cattle remotely and we were told that they use 1-2MB per minute in live view in SD mode. I have turned off all event recording, motion tagging, noti…

I’m not sure on the exacts as to what Wyze advertises it consumes in live view, but I suspect you may be running into a Bytes vs bits issue in your understanding of consumption and bandwidth. There are 8 bits a Byte. You notice I capitalized the B in Bytes but not bits - that is because in abbrevi…

The only thing that I am getting from my provider is that on the 14th, I used 1.5 GB, which would be gigabytes. The B was definitely capitalized. Wyze advertises and told me several times that SD live viewing uses 1-2MB per minute. 1 gigabyte is equal to 1000 megabytes right? So the 1.5GB used would…

That’s fair then. I’d recommend that you make sure the cameras aren’t uploading motion detect clips to the cloud if you’re only concerned about live view. Go over all the settings thoroughly.

As I understand it, the camera to server upload is only half of the viewing path - you have to consider the server to your viewing device data stream as well (I think). If that’s correct, worst case total data transmission would be 2MB x 2 cameras x 120 minutes x 2 (the camera stream to the server …

This has happened before to me after a Beta upgrade. It was about 18 months ago. Within 1 day I had used something like 220 MB. See the graph. [image] WARNING - Beware of "Wyze Test" Android app V2.6.371 Beta And if you look at my data usage that was 227Mb in a matter o…

[image] rmoff: As I understand it, the camera to server upload is only half of the viewing path - you have to consider the server to your viewing device data stream as well (I think). That’s incorrect. There is no server receiving or relaying any video during live view. It is a direct path …

Yes we are using multiple phones to view the feed. The total minutes viewed live that I stated in the original question is the collected amount from all of the phones, combined. For example, I had viewed the camera for 15 minutes, and my husband for 75, and his dad who farms with him, viewed for 30 …

Do you mean just in the app? Man, I think I’ve got it all turned off but maybe I’m missing something!

Would it possibly be not turning off the cameras between viewing? Like when we are on our home page for the wyze app, it doesn’t show a live view of the two cameras, it just shows a still from the last viewed image. We then just click out of the app. Do we need to be turning the cameras on and off r…
