Go to the library, McDonalds, or some other location (work?) that has wifi you can use. This will let you know how much your wifi is affecting up/down speeds.Īlso do the speed test from your phone (from the location you are trying to view you home camera). Now from your mobile connected to wifi using the same internet service run a speedtest. If you have good mobile data connection at your home, turn off wifi on your mobile and do a speedtest. If it is under 1.5 Mbits/sec there will probably be times that it will not be enough. If you have DSL with for example 768Kbps up link speed, the link won’t be able to handle the outbound traffic created by your v2 camera, and data packets will be dropped.įrom a PC at your home, run a speed test, and note the upload speed. And with video that has a lot of motion in it, the data cannot be compressed as much, so higher bandwidth will be needed. A v2 camera with little changes to what it is viewing will generate around 890 Kilobits/sec (or around 104 Kilobytes/sec) of outbound traffic. Check the WAN Internet cable that plugs into the router that might be damaged or not plugged in. Reinitializing the connection to your ISP might help you get Internet access when connected to WiFi. This is not directly measuring what the cameras are sending, so it is an indirect estimate. Restart your router it’s actually been recommended by the FBI recently. I also did another experiment to see how much data was coming into my internet router from Wyze cameras at other locations. When you are on the same wifi, other than the “connection setup”, your internet connection is not involved. It could be your internet connection’s upload speed limit in the location with the cameras. This may have nothing to do with cellular data or wifi.
