MASSIVE pings/queries over DNS

Cameras
1

It has been over two years since this problem was reported by others. I have V2/V3 and outdoor cameras. They all have the latest FW as of today March 13, 2023 PST. I just power recycled (physical unplug) all of them. They are still sending a massive amount of DNS queries (DNS storms comes to mind). I am talking about 300K per month.

My question to Wyze is: Why have you not fixed this problem?

Are you blocking them?

No I am not blocking them. I found out because Nextgen.io emailed me saying I had over 300K DNS queries last month.

Again, why Wyze did not fixed this? What is the “logic” behind this DNS behavior?

I just send logs to Wyze and opened a support case. Hopefully it is just matter of a FW upgrade.
