Is anyone else using tinycam as a web server for security cameras? I have been using it for that past month with 3 different wyze cameras connected and it's used up 200gbs of bandwidth. Maybe it's just me but it seems like a ton of bandwidth for three camera's.

Best answer
Idk, if you are recording 1080p 30fps 24/7 for a month on 3 cameras it seems reasonable. I have mine copy to Google drive and only save a few days worth of GB before having it overwrite the old stuff.

@kandykane what cams do you use? If Wyze, how do you copy them to Google Drive? That would be useful.

@sixpack It's Wyze cams through TinyCam Pro. There's an option in TinyCam to record to various cloud services.

That explains it. I looked at Tinycam awhile back, but didn't jump on it. Looks like I should check it out again. Thx.

I use Wyze but not Tinycam, thought about setting it up but haven't really had any pressing need.

@obelisk no, just the ability to enable/disable motion detection on them and turn them on/off - but no streaming.
