Wifi signal strength shown on camera screen

I have an idea. In the next firmware update you should display the internet signal strength on the camera screen. Make it like the wyze logo where you can turn it off or on.

The app already gives the signal strength (in the advanced settings), however a RSSI value would be nice…

This would really help - when positioning the cameras around the pool and patio I have no idea what the signal strength is - would be fantastic addition

IDK, my cameras are stationary and the signal varies anywhere from 97% down to the mid 50%. Also, I don’t know how frequently it is updated, so it may not be useful as a live indicator. Having the camera monitor constant updates of signal strength for one time positioning needs may impact other performance as well. I think there are some phone apps that already do this.

In advanced setting my WiFi signal strength says “not supported” for both my pan cam but gives me percentages for my v2 cameras. Why is that?

After the latest upgrade, I also have this problem on 2 of 3 of my cameras while the 3rd one indicates the %. I have already rebooted and power cycled the 2 cameras but no resolution.

Better Wifi signal strength granularity

On the Video Doorbell Pro the 3 bar signal strength meter turns into a Wifi signal decibel number when you touch it but that is not the case on the Can v3 for example. One of my spotlight cams seemed to work fine except when I was on a ladder near it aiming it I would loose signal, Same situation with my doorbell. The first time I had someone ring it I could not connect to it because there was a human body next to it. I moved one of my 3 wireless stations 20 ft and it seemed to help but both are still just 2 our of 3 bars. That is not enough granularity to tweak your home wireless network. The best option would a a 5 or more bar graphic and a percent number similar to what the wifi on a laptop of cell phone would show.
