r/mevocamera

I have a minorly inconvnenet issue that started this baseball season and I was hoping for some suggestions for a solution. Issue is - almost every day I goto connect to the camera for the first time I get a notification that my Mevo Start has a firmware update available and needs to update. I comply, wait a few minutes, the camera flashes some lights and beeps and then cycles, connects to wifi without issue and I go on with my life. BUT this keeps happening. At first I had thought there were a number of sequential updates that couldnt be skipped and I was catching up on a winter of no use but I have noted that it is asking for the same update each time.

I have tried clearly app cache, deleting and reinstalling. I have also used a pin to factory reset the camera. Neither helped.

Also noted camera connects to wifi fine but I cant get it to connect directly to phone for data over Bluetooth. Not a big deal as I have a wifi travel router that I prefer over my phone but nevertheless something is amiss. I get the message "Mevo camera has unsupported BLE protocol. Please update the application to use this feature" (Yes, I am on latest version of Mevo software).

Thanks

So, my church decided to get the Mevo set up with 3 cameras. I first tried running it using a cheaper $250 android tablet and that was a disaster with poor performance and overheating warnings before even getting out of the lab test environment (my dining room). Next up was with a Samsung Chromebook that I thought would be up to the challenge as it had an I5 intel processor. On-site test 1 revealed network bandwidth issues with severe digital artifactIng and complete freezes and dropouts. I installed an access point in the sanctuary and conducted on-site test 2 today. I'm getting closer. Now I see performance issues - substantial skipped frames - which I attribute to a video encoding shortfall on the Chromebook?

So, I think my next step is to get a decently equipped iPad. If I'm not mistaken, the software is optimized for IOS anyway. But, we're a church, so an M4 iPad isn't going to be in the cards, What's a well suited iPad configuration that will handily work with a 3-camera Mevo setup? Will the A series of CPUs do the job? A16 for instance? I also realize I c an gain some performance by dropping to 720p which I have yet to test. My current testing is with the 1080p option (not the highest, the one below).

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Trying to get some inspiration on how cool this can be making my own. Ive seen some super basic ones. But I am curious as to your methods. Can you use Gamechanger or sidelinehd to just to steal the scoreboard overlay?

Ever since the 5.2.16 iOS update i can no longer connect via Mevo app.

I can connect via Mevo Studio every single time.

Does anyone have any ideas on what this issue could be? is this the final push to make us use Studio?

Edit: have found a little work around. I can open Studio connect my camera then goto Mevo app and it lets me connect

I’ve never had a problem streaming from GC to my mevo with my iPhone 14 but this season I am getting an RTMP error constantly. Another parent has to start the stream because my phone won’t work. I’ve deleted and reinstalled both apps. Mevo and game changer. Please help!!
