Question

Using Actiontiles and looking for a simple home Wifi camera that I could use to add a live stream to my main actiontile panel (USA based). What do you guys suggest?

@lemur have you noticed any lag with the wyze cams? I have the Arlo Pro cameras and there is a huge lag.

@ayer493, I have 4 of them to use with AT via TinyCamPro. For the $ they are worth it and have never noticed any lag. As far as home security I’m a ring hardwired cam user not a fan of anything battery.

@ayer493 arlo isn't supported by actiontiles so not sure what you mean?  

---

@hague I was just curious about the wyze cameras that's all I know Arlo isn't supported.

You said arlo has a huge lag. But arlo isn't supported. So how does it have a huge lag?  

Answer 2

+1 for wyze cam. I used tinycampro to turn my kindle into a server. This allows me to run ActionTiles on a monitor while at work, too.

Are you able to view the cameras on ActionTiles when you’re at work? I can’t if I’m not on the home wifi

@vouchsafe12715 yes, I used port forwarding.

My Cams are outside, and I'm not worried about anyone getting into the kindle, as I use a generic email account for my home automation.  

Answer 3

I have 5 running on actiontiles. Works great once I set up an automatic refresh

@xanthous836 where do you set automatic refresh? Are you refreshing in ActionTiles?  

---

I have it on 2 fire tablets running through fullykiosk. I have fullykiosk refreshing every 10 minutes. If you just run AT on a regular browser I think it will be fine.

@xanthous836 I'm running fullykiosk. Mostly because I like having the screensaver with motion option. I'll take a look. Thanks

Answer 4

I’m going to give the Wyze cams a try. Thanks guys!
