That’s crazy. I wonder what’s causing it? I’m going try the same test. Out of curiosity, were you actively using the app during this time (Viewing videos, etc) or was that all background? I just reset my cellular statistics on iOS, about 5 minutes ago to test it out. I’m connected to WiFi. I pulled…

Thanks for comparing this, that is useful. In my test I called up a group live feed of 4 cameras, and every once in a while I quit the app and reloaded it so they could see any ‘initial’ links that occur. So over the period of an hour, it was mostly group live streaming, with about 5 app reloads. …

I agree, it’s an issue. I was just trying to determine how large of an issue. I’m doing a little more testing now. I’ve already determined that the cellular leak is related to live view and/or SD card playback. It does NOT happen when viewing event videos. I’ll update in a few more minutes. I’m try…

Thanks! For me, I didn’t see much leakage before I turned cellular off for the Wyze app months ago, but I didn’t use my iPhone much for watching feeds when I was in WiFi. I used my iPad for that. Your new information about it not being related to event videos may help them track down the issue. …

Okay, so I just tried two five-minute tests (Almost to the second) In my testing: 5 minutes of live view streaming for one camera used 3.6MB of cellular data. 5 minutes of SD card playback for one camera used 2.8MB of cellular data. No amount of “event” playback causes any cellular data usage, nor…

Not the first time this concept has been brought up. [image] Phone connected through wifi, but using cell data? Cameras Hello, I got two Wyze V2’s running for a few days now, and apparently when I’m using the iOS app it’s been eating up my cell data plan quite rapidly (a…

Yes, but the first time we have Wyze’s attention to the issue, so make the most of it. The base fact is, there is a leak over cellular when using WiFi. Why? There should be no leak, and the app works fine when you turn cellular data off for the app.

Yeah. I was aware of that, that’s why I thought to make the connection to two-way audio. (The Bluetooth behavior is a separate thing, but since it’s obviously engaging the microphone when you’re in live view and the amount of data seems about right for an audio stream, it makes sense that this might…

For 4 cams in live feed group mode, I was getting about a 8 MB/min leak over cellular when I was connected to WiFi.

A little more than double my average. In group mode, it streams the video in SD instead of HD, so if it’s related to the video, it makes sense that it wouldn’t be quadruple. But since the video and audio streams use a variable bitrate, it’s hard to do a one-to-one comparison unless I know my (and yo…
