Wyze sucks more every day. Need an alternative
I bought into the Wyze cameras last October. I currently have five. I have never had an issue. I don’t pay for cloud storage and never will. I have a 128gb card in each camera. The cameras start writing over the old footage at around one week of 24/7 recording. I’ve been five thousand kilometers awa

Live video while away doesn’t work
When you say ‘wired ones’, which cameras are you referring to? All Wyze cameras are wireless. Maybe you are trying to stream from an outdoor battery cam. They have other issues. I have Wyze cams from v2 (early 2018) to OGs and zero issues live-streaming when away from home (fiber 300/300 and an old

Wyze sucks more every day. Need an alternative
I’ve installed Thingino on 3 of my Wyze cameras (one v2and 2 pancam v1s). It has made my Wyzecams useful again. It is easy to install, just download the firmware, write it to SD and boot your Wyze cam from it. The only tricky part was finding the IP of the camera. I can detail my troubleshooting if

Wyze Pan v3 + Scrypted on Windows 11 - Facing IOTC_ER_TIMEOUT / Connection Drops
Hey man, I just went through this exact battle. I’m currently migrating 60+ Wyze cams (mostly V3s with a few Pan V3s) into a UniFi UNVR Pro using Scrypted. I’m running on Linux, but the logic for your Windows/HomeKit setup is the same. The "IOTC_ER_TIMEOUT" and loops happen because the Wyze Native plu

Neighbor rerouted rainwater to t bone our driveway.
Get a cheap webcam (maybe something like the Wyze Cam OG), a battery pack, and an SD card. The camera needs to be set up on WiFi, but several models will keep recording to SD once it's set up. I set one up in my back yard looking for where a bear was coming onto my property and the battery pack I ha

V3 or 2 v4
I have a bunch of Wyze cameras and I find that most of the time the OG come up the quickest when I open app to view them or if internet has been rebooted. This would be in comparison to v2, v3, v3 pro, v4, pan cam 2&3. I also have a smart plug (not wyze brand but thru Hubitat) on most of them so I c

Wyze cam outage
I posted on several spots but these were the OG outdoor Cube that have to connect to a router I now have 10 of the wyze battery cam Pro and they run off Wi-Fi so that's a whole different ball game,you wouldn't have to be home for them. I've always had Wireless cameras but I love the Wireless wyze ca

Is Wyze V4 Pan 4k "fixed" yet?
Just recently purchased an outdoor PTZ 4k wyze cam to join my older(5+yrs) cams and it's been working great. Huge clarity improvement over the previous v2 models. Straight path from my router to the camera passes through 4 walls( 2 hollow sheetrock interior walls and then 2 exterior brick walls) Had

Issue with all types of Wyze Cam's and mesh networks
Is the experience any better on one WiFi network versus another? For example, when my phone is on the same WiFi network as one of my smart locks the app that controls the lock is much more responsive and reliable. When I'm on the WiFi network at my house the smart lock isn't also on then it's much s
