I have a v3 camera with the 2.32.2 iOS app and 4.36.9.139 firmware. The app is installed on both an iPhone and an iPad. I wasn’t aware until today that you can set different quality videos on different devices. For example, on the iPad video is set as HD and on the iPhone as SD. What quality record…

Hi habib, So for wyze cameras, both “SD” and “HD” are 1080P resolution. “SD” just have lower bitrate to save both your bandwidth and SD card space. If you choose live stream to be “HD” or “360P”, then you will get 1080P recording with higher bitrate in your SD card (about 5.5MB/minute). And if you …

When you open the cam into Live View, the recording and viewing quality will be in green letters in the upper left in portrait, top right in landscape. This can be pressed to change the uSD and Cloud recording quality. [Screenshot_20220623-135913-910] [Screenshot_20220623-135836-135]

I get that, but on my phone is set to SD quality and on my iPad is HD, in both portrait and landscape. What I’m trying to say is, why when I set the quality on one devise it doesn’t get reflected on the other one? Also, what quality is being recorded on the SD card?

Here is a picture of both side-by-side: [IMG_0001]

Good question. Not sure why the settings would change between devices. I don’t use 2 devices and don’t use iOS. That setting is the uSD record quality. When I change that setting from HD to SD, I extend my uSD card capacity by twice the time within the same GB. I’m not sure how the multi-device lo…

[image] SlabSlayer: Not sure why the settings would change between devices. The settings don’t change on their own. This morning I change the setting on my iPad and noticed that it didn’t change on my phone. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t happening before the update. [image] SlabSlayer: I’m n…

[image] habib: I change the setting on my iPad and noticed that it didn’t change on my phone. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t happening before the update. Yeah. Understand that if you change it in one it should propagate to the other. But again, not sure how this works. I know that the settings are…

[image] SlabSlayer: And, I don’t update the app unless I am being forced to at gunpoint. I am on the last stable version known to mankind. Smart man, I only do it because I get tired of the stupid notifications and sometimes I’ll forget to deselect the app in the App Store when I update other…

I just tried it out on my iPad and iPhone using iOS 15.5, iOS app 2.32.0 (20) and got the same results as you. I cleared the cache from the app on both devices. Set iPad at HD and iPhone at SD. I forced closed both app opened both up and it the setting remained iPad HD, iPhone SD. I did not restart …

This is the response I got from Wyze Team: Hi habib, In your case here, the iphone and ipad are running on two individual and seperate streaming processes here with our server. Which means you can set the quality seperately on each device and that won’t affect the other existing one. As for SD ca…

Thank you all for the info here. Just confirmed with team and test myself. On the SD card it will always be HD 1080P video. No matter how you change on the live view tab from HD to SD or to 360P. The only difference will be if you change to SD on live then the recording file size will be smaller du…

I always been on continuous recording. Since January, the playback bitrates are always lower by around 30% than in the live viewing. The playback quality is lower than live viewing. Something changed in firmwares? It is like that on all my V2s and Pans V1s. Don’t have this issue on my V3s.
