I my case is the same, i am using for baby monitoring, it is unacceptable to lost the video and refresh the app every 5 minutes. I need a quick update with the solutions. Is not good idea to use 3rd part apps, open ports, route your modem etc. even if standard users can able to manage all this things, in some servers you don't have access to all this settings. I am using same network for camera and monitoring device(phone), Please solve this problem as soon as possible.

Thank you,

come ooonn, wtf, i have bought 9 cameras for this sh1t, and can't view. I'm getting that notification on my WIFI connection, i have a tablet that doesn't have a sim in it at all, and i still have to click every 2 fking minutes on this. THEY ARE USELESS WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT MY BANDWIDTH ? IF I CAN AFFORD 9 FKING CAMERAS, CLEARY MY BANDWIDTH IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. PLEASE SEND US A SOLUTION OR THEY GO BACK !!!!!!!

This is very annoying.  I am using the camera to watch my sleeping in the other room while I study.  I can't focus on studying if this issue persists.  I have to constantly refresh the app even if I am connected in the same WiFi.  It didn't have this problem before your recent update was pushed.  Now, I have this stupid issue.

Our bandwidth is our concern, not yours.  If I am accessing the camera using my phone while I am driving, so I have a constant view of my baby while I am away from home, It's my problem.  I have unlimited data, so that is not an issue for me.  At least make this stupid refresh optional.  I don't need it and your device is as useless as it is if this continues to be an issue.

It used to be a 10 min pop-up, now it's a 2 minute refresh requirement.  This is total BS.

Is there an update yet??? TP Link?? 1 year since the issue first was reported. Apparently you don't care???

@CarlosArsene 

This is to save TP Link's bandwidth, not ours! I have 1000 Mbps connection and unlimited data!

I got this camera to use with my Google Nest Displays and I want to be able to keep the feed for my cameras active all the time I am not doing anything else! I am not using my phone, neither I want to. I paid more than what I would for a cheap generic camera because I wanted full Google Home support. We also can't do simple things like moving the camera with commands, why is that? Google or TP Link limitation (sorry for being a bit out of topic on this matter, but since I am writing here, maybe someone can do something about it too).

Did anybody using Google Home / Assistant / Nest Hub find a solution?

@CarlosArsene now why would you assume it would work with google, we are trying to view the freaking camera on a phone app, and you want voice commands attached to it ? :)))) and for the record, no my ipad without the sim and my wife's iphone still need to click CONTINUE every fking 2 minutes. managed to get it working on andoird but the iphone and ipad simply won't work. 

@angrycustomer9 I don't know... maybe because it's advertised as "works with google Assistant"...

If it works with Google Assistant we should have access to all the commands we see on their own app via assistant, including panning and streaming without time constraints.

They create all those restrictions intentionally so they can lift them slowly with newer versions of their hardware to make people buy again the same items just for the sake of the software where even an old 360p camera (if with wi-fi) should be able to do, since you just need the video signal sent over the network and the app does the rest.

Google also should give better support and cameras and platforms should communicate between each other using an open standardized protocol for all basic functionality (audio, video, panning, night vision, LED off and on etc).

Of course, they profit from all this mess they create in the first place and they know that people who can will pay 200 dollars for a Nest Camera just do avoid dealing with this.
