Do Standalone WiFi Security Cameras Consume Internet Bandwidth When Not in Use?

Will standalone WiFi security cameras consume internet bandwidth when they are not being streamed or accessed remotely? I have a 10Mbps internet connection and don’t want to exceed the bandwidth limit.

Standalone WiFi security cameras won’t utilize your internet bandwidth unless they’re accessed remotely or send you alerts when motion is detected.

In general, wireless standalone security camera systems don’t add much burden to your home network. (Refer to this guide to learn more about IP camera bandwidth calculation.)
