Can you check the data consumption of specific client on the router?How do you tell those data consumed by the camera? We'd better figure it out whether all those data are consumed by the camera firstly.

Hi Kevin, It was very easy to say it was consumed by the camera. First I filtered MAC address in my router only to the camera. I am able to check my 4G router's internet usage real time from the router interface. I activated the camera and I saw the data transfer started in the router. Then I shut down the camera app and continued to check router. The data usage did not stop at all until I turned off the camera completely. I did the tests both on Camera Web app and IOS app. My guess is camera detects and starts streaming when the app starts. However, somehow it cannot understand that the app is closed, thus it does not stop streaming. In the first month I was not aware of this and I was shocked by the 15 GB of data usage . I watch the camera 10 mins max daily with the lowest resolution. My total monthly usage should be no more than 300 MB. As I said there are no other devices connected (as only camera MAC id is allowed in the router)

What I was offered by the support is to Reboot Camera from the app. This is a workaround for now but that was also not sustainable as there is always risk the camera may not turn on during the reboot remotely.
So doesn't anybody have this issue ? I cannot believe it is only happening to me. Maybe nobody notices when they use DSL but with the limited Quota Broadband 3G router it is very annoying.

Thanks
