New Setup - Bandwidth questions

Post by rdeslauriers50 »

Hello, I just set up my new IP3M-943 Camera and was wondering about home much it will affect my home internet bandwidth.

Right now, I have a 16 GB SD Card in the camera and everything is set to record to it. The camera is on Wi-Fi now. I also have the Amcrest Cloud setup too but nothing is set to record on there. Will it constantly be supplying footage to the cloud? I feel like that will affect my Wi-Fi and Internet speeds.

I'm fairly new to all this stuff and can't seem to find my information online about it. Thanks in advance!

Hello rdeslauriers50,

The camera will only take your internet bandwidth when viewed from your phone or from over the internet on a PC.

If the camera is added to Amcrest cloud, it records when there is motion. This can use about 2mbps data when its recording motion.
