How much internet speed do I need for my camera?

The speed required to operate the cameras depends on the resolution quality that the camera is sending. Higher resolutions require faster speed. 

Note that the recommended upload speed is per camera, meaning that if multiple cameras are streaming at once, the required speeds add up. This is especially important during alarms, when all cameras will record simultaneously.

If you run a speed test, you may find that your phone's speed test results are faster than the camera's. That is because your phone's wifi chip allows the phone to be an all-purpose internet browsing tool. It is designed to receive and send enough data to support multiple internet activities simultaneously. Our camera's wifi chips are designed specifically for streaming, which at most requires 2 mbps for 1080p, and so do not have as high capacity as the phone's wifi chip.
