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

Solar Power for Wyze Cam

It just won't work reliably. I've been playing with solar since the first Wyze cam was introduced. Solar panels work great on battery cams. Hardwired cameras have a MUCH larger power appetite so you need batteries in the system and a panel big enough to both power the camera and charge the batteries

Done with cheap cameras

I use Wyze OG. They work for my 65g and 40g, so a 29 should be no problem. Easy to place with a sticky wall mount that I got from amazon. Also highly recommend you get an SD card to go with it so you can record timelapses without having to pay for a subscription.

Hi everyone, I’m Alan — new Wyze moderator here

Nice to meet you Alan. This whole thing will be very ilunfair to you at times and you are going to receive the brunt of some customers frustration. In my case those tickets are a waste of time and a bunch of work for customers who will "never" receive a resolution as there will be no response, ever.

Avoid RIU Palace Punta Cana

WYZE cam works for me, you can get it directly from them or on Amazon or eBay. Doesn’t require a monthly subscription and has basic cloud storage for events. Load up an SD card and you’re good to go.

Interested in your experience with outdoor cameras near your feeders!

I use a couple wyze v4 cameras on the fence feeding station and in the 2 squirrel nest boxes . And a wyze OG at the bird feeder. They all run SD cards, get great video and night vision. I use an outdoor holiday light 8 plug extension tower covered from the snow. On a GFI outlet. Even get a Northern

Will Wyze work for me?

The short answer is no. The basic (no subscriptions) Wyze service is Live viewing, SD card recording, an image showing detected events, not video. I don't know of any brand that gives everything you have with no subscription. There are better choices than Wyze though. I have started replacing my Wyz

Subscription increase?

I came to Wzye from Nest and Ring which were insane. I have Wyze cam unlimited at $99 per year. I think that is reasonable. You all know it cost money to store video in the cloud right? And they have to pay egress fees when you retrieve it. All cloud costs are rising. In my job, I manage cloud costs

Wyze raising prices

Cruddy thing is current gen wyze cams have this ability for on-device smart detections but they still paywall it. Absolutely why I have changed brands.

Is it possible to stop your neighbor from targeting you or is it inevitable?

When it pertains to the noise complaints I recommend buying a cheap security camera with microSD card and continuous recording available (I recommend the Wyze Cam OG). You get them on Temu through Wyze's store refurbished for way less than retail. Set it up in the room you spend the most time in and
