I am writing to ask why Android hardware decoding was removed? Was it intentional? If so, I will be returning my 12 cameras which are now for all practical purposes unusable. Don’t think I will pay extra for that. I won’t. Put it back WYZE.

Whatever you did, please change it back. Or tell me what I can do to get my live feed to not look like everyone is moving underwater. It is ‘slow’. And the response for moving the view of my Cam Pan even slower. I don’t think I’d be running 7 cameras if this is what the feed looked like when I set u…

We are searching for an improved library to use but want to be careful that the solution we go with actually resolves the problem for the people impacted by this issue. This probably won’t be resolved in days (especially since we’ll be doing a round of beta testing with it) but we are working hard a…
