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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm absolutely done with Wyze. What is a good reliable alternative?

If they're in the same boat as me It won't cost him anything long-term as long as they get something that's not subscription based. I have been with wyze since day one But they came to forgotten why they got started. I've watched them pull features and pull features and remove options and downgrade

Wyze cams no longer recording events to SD cards

I just bought 2 new OGs and added them to my existing 2 cameras. I’ve upgraded everything and now I’ve lost the ability to record video!?! Not much of an upgrade :( Definitely not going to recommend people buy Wyze cameras anymore.
