Cam OG

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

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.

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

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.

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

Im replacing my flaky wyze cams with Eufy solar cams. Works beautifully so far. I just wait until they are on sale for 50 bucks instead of 70. Battery stays at 100.

They are the absolute cheapest of the cheap hardware, on purpose. I have had an issue at one time or another with every single item. Magnetic door sensors that self destructed, once the battery died they can never be used again even after replacing the battery, apparently it was a flawed design. Doo

On my Firestick, I'm stuck at 18.1.1. It doesn't play nice with the Wyze Pan Cam v4. It tries but crashes. I have 18.1.2 on my Nvidia Shield and it is a lot better but still has a bug where the resolution on the pan v4 is at whatever I set the camera to on my Wyze app not low resolution for thumbnai

All my wyze products have been great. Except my 3 cam OGs that are all brought in 2025. After a couple days of usage they brick and flash blue and red led. I have to factory reset them each time and it's a pita. Latest firmware.

Well I'm going to be getting the S4 and the S340 mount for science lol I'll let you know how it goes. I'm having the same issue, I keep seeing people say they modded the camera or the mount. Some say they reused the old mount but didn't say which mount they had. So I'll throw some money at it and fi
