Looking for Wifi cameras that allow you to view the video as you scroll through the history (Like Nest but I’m leaving Nest ASAP)
I have some Nest cams, and some Wyze cams. All of this on a gigabit Wifi 6E mesh home network. I love on Nest that I can slowly scroll through the history and see all of the video sped up as I’m scrolling to catch any movement. Wyze doesn’t have this option, I have to skip in 15 sec increments and hope I happen to land on something, which isn’t feasible. I want exactly Nest, but with not such terrible connectivity.
RANT SECTION – I’ve come to hate Nest with a passion. Takes 20-45 seconds to connect to live video after opening the app, it just loads constantly. When I click on an event in the timeline, it hangs up on that event and will show a still image, it won’t actually play until I restart the app and try multiple times. The detection on it is garbage, always missing big things, and saying a little leaf flying by is a person. Nest used to be all I’d rave about, now I’m about to toss them into a fire after being a loyal user for the past 5+ years. After seeing somebody in my yard, and Nest unwilling to connect to video for 2 minutes while I frantically restart the app and look out my windows was the last fucking straw. It’s genuinely dangerous.
