LPT: Keep a “nail in the coffin” list to stop repeating the same mistakes
My Wyze cam pans from my front door, to my grocery list, and all the way to the back door. My 4’ wide x 6’ tall chalkboard grocery list is extremely legible from anywhere on earth, and bonus points because the list is grocery store shaped / grocery store fire map is directly above it. It’s like a sh

Wyze sucks more every day. Need an alternative
Honestly, all cloud based cameras start to suck if you have more than a handful of them and even then you need a super strong signal. If I look at more than 3 WYZE cams at the same time, everything freezes up. I used to think Ring was the most stable option but last week I was setting a few up for s

I'm absolutely done with Wyze. What is a good reliable alternative?
Just getting into Wyze cameras. Had the pan duo cam for around a month now, it sits on the wall outside my garage. Also a Wyze cam OG outside the front door. Both have been awesome. It’s never skipped or missed any movement, even at -20°C. I didn’t buy the subscription service and I didn’t even sign

Remove Wyze’s grasp on your cameras for free forever with Thingino!
The issue is that starting with the Wyze Cam 4, Wyze has deliberately locked cameras from being able to flash a different firmware. Unfortunately there is no known way to go around it at the moment.

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

Wyze sucks more every day. Need an alternative
I have literally 30 wyze cameras. Mostly v4s, some pan cams, doorbell, bulb cam. Never a single issue. I can’t believe how much people complain I’ve never been happier with a camera

Remove Wyze’s grasp on your cameras for free forever with Thingino!
This is awesome! I quit buying any new wyze cameras after the V3 because I was so annoyed by the forced ecosystem lock-in as well as how badly they treated the HomeAssistant 3rd party integration development project. I quit buying new wyze hardware since that (switched to Reolink in case anyone is w

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.

Casually blinding my dude with calcium (shes fine)
I have two different Wyze cameras. The Pan v3 and the OG. Both have night vision and work great for checking in and making sure they are doing well
