    Hey David - Thank you sir! If you're after JUST SD Recording, then you want to turn on Continuous recording and turn off all event recording settings. As soon as you turn on any event recording, it goes to the cloud. And this is where it gets complicated. Even recording turned on and SD recording on "events" records to both the cloud and the local SD card.

All the settings are on for this, and the same as my other Camara that has working event recordings.. I feel like the app is the biggest problem. Any suggestions on what to do when event recordings are not working, but everything is showing they are on? And is the app test button something I can use to fix problems like this when I am not near the Camara to do a reset from home?

    Heard of them! Not something I've used personally though! I have used the EZVIZ C1C and did enjoy that camera too. :) In general though, I trust Wyze more than the average $20 camera because of how the product was developed. Software over top of an already existing inexpensive design. That means security can be focused on. Whereas many cameras at $20 might not have been built that way...so I'm cautious around recommending it!

    Great Video! So I'm still wondering what the Wyze definition is for "Interval" on the Outdoor Cam when using Time Lapse Recordings. Can't find the meaning of this term on Wyze's support site. Does "Interval" refer to the time span between each recording clip when nothing is being recorded? Or is it the length of each recording clip? An a related question ... how long is each recording (or snapshot)? Is it a still shot? Many Thanks!

    Hey Joe - You only really need Life 360 if you're trying to manage for a family. Then you need IFTTT and Life 360 (and IFTTT only offers 3 applets now per free account). Otherwise, you can use IFTTT period to set a location based trigger on/off for notifications. There are other workarounds with Alexa/Google in conjunction with Wyze too.

    Hey up Yoof! Off topic question. Do we know a cheap solution to having an automated smart ceiling bulb in a bathroom? I'm just not willing to pay Philips Hue water proof bathroom bulb money on moral grounds. I have 6 bulbs, 2 sensors and two light bulb remote controls of theirs already and I don't want to give the ripping off b-stards any more of our money. What I ideally want is what we have in two rooms already. Just walk in the room and the lights come on due to the movement sensor and depending of ambient light and time of day they then they go off after a set amount of time if there is no movement detected. Obviously the Philips sensors I already have are not water proof (steam) and therefore can't be used for the job. I could just get a simple microwave sensor/bulb set up but whilst they are functional they don't fit into the home eco system and just stand alone. Many thanks Yoof. You stay bloody safe you hear? :-).

What I do in my smart home is SmartThings (or Hubitat) and then I can use...Ikea bulbs, Sengled bulbs, Samsung bulbs, or really any generic zigbee bulb. Then, I can use a SmartThings motion sensor and I've got the whole setup working and it's $10/bulb tops and $20/sensor. The other thing you can look at is just an actual light switch with the motion sensor. Those are always good for those situations. Simple, effective, and then you can use most bulb types.

    I want to purchase the Wyzecam for my cabin to simply take a "snapshot" twice a day to view my furnace/surroundings, and a second camera to make sure a tree smashed my roof. There is nothing to steal so I do not care about movements or noise. With that said, ALL I have is my HOTSPOT. Once I depart, with my cell phone, ALL that will be there are the cameras and the HOTSPOT. My question is, will it stay linked, if so, will it suck up data, and can I use my phone app to MANUALLY view my cameras? I do not require an SD card, either. I just want to know if I can get data, manually, solely using a HOTSPOT? OR would it be beneficial to have a continuous SD card recording for me to MANUALLY view. I do not require a cloud either. I'm just hoping to hear feedback on this sole HOTSPOT connectivity plan.

    Hi John, The ability to stay linked is going to depend on the reliability of the hotspot connection out there. Wyze Cams are going to, in general, disconnect from weak connectivity on WiFi so you need to make sure the gear out there is good. I've had AMAZING results with Wyze and Nest WiFi. From there, if you turn off the motion/sound recordings, it won't suck up your data. You just put it on continuous local recording and you should be good to go. Then you can manually view your cameras anytime, but that will obviously use data. Otherwise, if you don't use an SD card then you will use data because you'll have to turn on motion/sound events and then it will record a 12 second clip and send it to the cloud.

    So I've heard many Wyze Cams struggle with this. Sadly, I think the reason there's no "this is the problem" is because it can come from either the camera or the sd card itself. I'd try a brand new sd card and see if it continues...and then talk to Wyze's support. Or you could talk to Wyze support first if you don't want to spend!

    Maybe it is not absolutely complicated, but for me it seems way more complicated than it need to be. I just want it to: If event, then capture 3 seconds before and 3 seconds after the event (3 seconds before because it is always recording, and would only 'save' a motion event. Then just log the event in a list ( and notify me). Then let me click through the list of thumbnail snapshots at relative time=0 for each event, and optionally play the whole 6 seconds. That's it. No subscription, no cloud, no cool down, no privacy concerns (all on the sd card). Done. Can't it do that?

    Well another Wyze mystery ! None of my 5 cameras are sending notifications to my phone ! I checked everything, the cameras one by one, the events are recorded, the phone is ok with all permissions, emptied the cache, contacter wyze but for nothing helpful they just told me all the steps I already did. My only explanations could be that the cameras are stuck in google home. I noticed my Aqara G3 was appearing as "busy" after using it in Google home and not returning to the "wait" position, so it could be the same for the wyze cams, although I dont see why this would stop the notifications to the phone. Any idea ? I do have CamPlus on all of them.

This should not affect the notifications I think. They all received a wyze update last week also. Funny enough in the app and in each individual cam setting everything is fine for notifications. They all record and register events too. The android phone is all set up to allow notifications from wyze too. It's really a mystery. Also, wyze do send the 2 factors authentication to my phone so the number at wyze is correct.

After updating now all four of my V2's are 180° out and upside down. Well there's a button you been toggle specifically for flipping the cameras 180° if you will not or not able to mount them right side up due to space restrictions and dot on. I have tried everything to remedy short of discounting and remounting all four cameras because I was hoping that Wyze Customer Service and the Support Team could address it and they initially respond and then they apparently don't give a shyt because they quit responding. Any help with this matter would be great! I have uninstalled the app, forced it to stop at Wyzes request and notta! I know it is related to the most recent Firmware update and I refuse to update my camera's period anymore. I am just about ready to pull the plug and find that has everything equivalent but BETTER SUPPORT when needed. PLEASE HELP
