The following arose out of a discussion of Wyze cam performance here: WyzeCam becoming more & more unusable? The Poll follows. What percentage of customers never budge off the ISP-provided WiFi router? What percentage upgrade to a Costco-level ‘premium’ product? What percentage upgrad…

So, less than 110M? :slight_smile: /edit If heatsink cost is negligible… Are these poorly cooled bargain routers a prime example of designed-in limited life? If one designed-out the life/performance limiting features of an otherwise well-operating bargain router… …would one then be gazi…

To provide a piece of equipment that is similar to the already flooded router market, no, I probably would not buy it. Now, if you go a step further, and add functionality to save videos and events locally and backed up to the cloud, that would get my interest. Currently, if I lose internet and I …

Hi @mccabet Is your multiple cam streaming now fluid and reliable? What level of WiFi router are you using (per the OP)? Do you think it’s possible to design or source a low cost router that would stabilize connectivity and performance across the Wyze cam customer base? How much would you be will…

Except you are not describing a router, but rather a smart Wyze hub. This almost reached production a few years ago.

Yet a bargain router I picked up because it was DD-WRT compatible turned out to have heatsinks that were literally just flat pieces of metal fastened over the chips. I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t even have heatsink compound underneath. What I would like to see is a big heatsink (which my L…

My network currently consists of a Ubiquity router as my network gateway to my 1GB Fiber ISP. I use two ASUS AC1900 as access points to cover the upstairs and downstairs. The 2.4 Ghz wifi is primarily used by my IOT devices ( Wyze Cams, outlets and bulbs, TP-Link Switches and outlets, etc). Camer…

[image] peepeep: ? [image] mccabet: Camera streaming is not bad considering it goes to the cloud before I can view it. It has its good and bad days. Do you mean it’s negotiated and authenticated through remote servers before the P2P kicks in? Or? Good catch. @mccabet , it does not do…

I wasn’t satisfied with the end of my last response (muddled) so this: Local Router mediates these: Streaming Live video A. from cam to local client * B. from cam to remote client * Exchanging Event video A. from cam to cloud B. from cloud to local client If Cam Plus may be substan…

Hey Tod, they gotta spend (whatever they net out of) this somewhere, right?

And ol’ Dave said CS was job 1.

I’m guessing Wyze support people literally dream about all customers having the same router and ISP. I mean, I would, but maybe I’m ill-informed or projecting…
