It's simple to install and comes with everything you need to protect your home and its occupants, and if you pay just $59 for one year of professional monitoring upfront, the system itself ($49.99) is free. It works with the full lineup of Wyze smart home devices, as well as third-party products via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant routines.

On average, I spend something on the order of 15 minutes per day (wild ass guess figure) looking at various cameras. They vary from cameras that give me so many alerts that it’s annoying to one that has NEVER triggered an alert, but I tend to look at it for a few seconds per day (it’s looking at a rat trap in the attic). At this time, there are six Wyze cameras powered up at my house. The 12 second alerts was a small part of it.įor a “real World” comparison, my WiFi can tell me how much data each client uses for various time periods. So, I would assume that if Rick used over 1TB of data in a month, there was A LOT of streaming involved. HOWEVER, if you start streaming just one camera, you are getting that one MegaByte every 12 seconds of streaming, or about five MegaBytes per minute, or 300 MB per hour, or 7.2 GigaBytes per day.
It would be incredibly unusual for that worst case scenario to happen. With Rick’s five cameras in that worst case scenario, that is 1.44 GigaBytes per day which comes out to about 45 GB per month. Assuming a camera creates an alert every 5 minutes all day (very unlikely), that would be 288 alerts so using our approximate number of 1 MB per clip, that’s 288 MegaBytes per day per camera.
Streaming video is somewhere in the 50 to 150 K Bytes per second (it depends A LOT on what’s going on), so if we use a figure of 1 MegaByte for each 12 second clip, it’s likely a decent figure to use for a wild guess and it makes the math easy. I understand that remote viewing of the playback (outside of my home network) would consume Comcast data.ĭoes anyone know if reviewing playback, while on your home network, consumes my internet bandwidth? Assuming it doesn’t because I’m on the home network, but perhaps it routes through AWS? That would be a bummer. It would be nice if you could have an option for motion detection alerts saved to the card only so that all video is kept local. I’ve now turned off all motion detection and I guess I will just go back and review all of the saved video if/when something happens that requires me to review. Net is, I went from an average of 300mb per month to over 1TB, in one month. I left motion alerts on (no notification) as “time stamps” so that I knew what parts of the recorded video to view if necessary. All cameras are set to standard definition, local continuous recording, with motion alerts. I installed five cameras, enabling local continuous recording (SD) to the installed card. I just got a rude awaking about the need to properly configure these cameras (reached my 1TB data limit with Comcast).
