Reducing Data Usage on Your Camovue Camera

To optimize data usage on your Camovue camera, it's important to understand common causes of high data consumption. Follow these suggestions to minimize data usage and improve camera efficiency.

Rapid Data Consumption Symptom

If you notice your SIM data is consumed quickly, or the SIM Usage data shows high consumption, it's likely due to prolonged live viewing or simultaneous photo and video capture.

Suggestions to Reduce Data Usage on Camovue Cameras

1. Limit Live View Duration: Shorten the live view sessions to reduce continuous streaming and prevent excessive data usage.

2. Enable Power Saving Mode: This mode reduces data usage by limiting live viewing time and focusing only on important events.

3. Capture Only Images: Switch the camera settings to capture images instead of both photos and videos. This helps reduce the data uploaded to the cloud, as images require less data than videos. Refer to "Step 3. Configure Motion Capture Settings" in How to Upload Images and Videos to Camovue Cloud

By reducing live viewing time, enabling Power Saving Mode, and configuring the camera to capture only images, you can significantly cut down on data usage, ensuring it's used only when necessary during alarm events.
