The Nest cams seem to use less bandwidth, around 200 kbps per cam although I think you can change the video resolution setting, but they typically stream to the cloud DVR constantly. And since they get put inside, rather than just at the front door, people tend to install a bunch of them, 5 is not uncommon, so even at 200 kbps per cam now you have 1 Mbps upstream. The WiFi problem seems to be common to all these WiFi cameras. I need to hire someone to explain the "sticking cheap little WiFi things with poor antennas everywhere and expecting them to work automagically" problem to customers because I'm losing patience and fear I will start biting heads off. I notice that customers who actually hire a security camera company seem to end up with wired cameras. Although ADT seems to install WiFi cameras. So all burglars need to do is bring a WiFi jammer? Maybe it comes down to security cameras bill for parts and labor while ADT has a fixed price and wants to minimize their labor? More likely the local security camera guy is used to setting up businesses and takes a more robust approach. I wonder when the police get the security camera footage from businesses near a crime, how many are "in the cloud" over the Internet or on someone's cellphone, and how many are stored locally? Given that stores, banks, warehouses, etc. may have dozens of cameras, I would think local storage starts to be more logical than streaming it all to cloud storage? Or maybe they don't want thieves to steal the hard drive from the security system? I would hope that's in a locked room. -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Robert Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2019 12:18 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Inexpensive Surveillance Cameras They only use the bandwidth when they are motion triggered which was a large part when I am using them. The majority of the issues we see with people are because it is placed outside of a good wifi signal.
