Ive had these cameras for over a year now. They record to their SD cards mostly fine. They notify me on motion settings fine. The App to review footage is a giant heaping steaming pile of crap. First of all, when not on my own network, I can only connect to the cameras maybe 1 out of 10 tries. Ma…

Look, guessing at random possible causes is not productive. Your printer by the way, could have been troubleshoot through the windows event log. You would have found exactly which service was getting refused or failed and could’ve gone backwards and corrected it without guessing. Making assumptions…

In terms of the app disconnecting from the camera when trying to play back recorded footage from the SD card, then not being able to reconnect for some time, this appears to be due to the camera crashing and rebooting when playing back from the SD card. I’ve had this problem for a while now, I have…

Yes, that seems about right for me too. But on a different camera, I can review footage without issues. While I’m on my local network of course.

going off topic … "Not all phones can run all apps as well as others, memory , cpu , etc are all things that will effect the operation of the app. Example: I have 3 motorola recent phones all quad CPU etc, yet ONLY 1 is compatible with the app for A new Drone i just bought… The hardware and men…

Yep on the mini, that may be correct. but I think the need for OTG also is a limitation for that app. The Moto4 that works is OTG copatable I have been Flying Phantoms for years (1, 2, 2+ , 3, mavic, etc) and what phones / tablets etc work or dont work have been an issue forever. I still have not…

Like I said, call support. They will give you logs showing where there is a problem or not. It is exactly what you are asking for /needing. It was as painless as anyone could expect. Ah, you are hosting as well? That uses that same uplink bandwidth. Enable QOS on your router and prioritize the w…

I have a few thoughts… When you setup something like this there’s a few requirements: The camera needs a reliable WiFi connection. If you’re WiFi is unstable then your carrier (App side) has zero relevance. By reliable I mean that you have a solid signal, no interference and adequate bandwidth…

[image] andrewbaggins: Did the designers even consider the cameras might be used in a device-rich environment? I have my Wyze cameras connected to my Mesh Wi-Fi setup across 5,200 Sq FT. I have over 115 IP devices, more than 80 of those are on Wi-Fi. My Wyze cams work perfect!

The app is a piece of crap, and so are the camera’s networking capabilities
