I have an Android tablet that the kids use at home. Myself, I am/was in a bit of a rough financial situation recently. BUT, I am FINALLY working my way up and out of that hole (thank God!). My current issue is, I am currently working with an older model Android mobile device and I am unable to keep an eye on the house, kids, family, etc. Basically, unable to watch the cameras, due to the fact of not being able to download the Wyze app because “the app isn’t compatible” with my device. With that being said, is there any possible way for me to still view my Wyze V4 cameras on this “older Android device”, in the meantime, until I can dish out the extra money on a newer phone?
Welcome to the Forum, @waydeaholmes! 
Until Wyze completely closes the door on older app versions, your best option is probably to download and install a v2.50x APK from a site like APKPure or APKMirror on any device that can’t install the current Wyze app from Google Play Store. I don’t really like recommending that, because I don’t know how much longer that’s going to be a viable solution. Wyze has recently pushed e-mail and in-app messages urging users to update to v3.8.5+ because of some firmware changes they’re making to existing Cams, but for now I’m able to view a (non-Pan) Cam v4 in the v2.50.9.512 Wyze app on a lower-end tablet running Android Go 13 (32-bit).
Cam v4 is probably one of the latest camera models you’ll be able to view on the older app, as it was released prior to the introduction of the v3x Wyze app. Newer devices, like Cam Pan v4, are a complete no-go unless I’m using a much more current app version. I expect to have a similar experience with newer app/firmware/device releases going forward.
I don’t blame you for wanting to squeeze as much use as possible out of older technology. I applaud that kind of resourcefulness, wanting to use what you have available, and keeping things out of landfills. In fact, I’m writing this post on an old laptop that I think originally shipped with Windows 8, but I’m currently booted into Solus Linux on it. When you do things like that, though, you just need to be aware of the risks of doing so and realize that you could lose features or support at any time.
Also, I’m glad to know that you’re able to improve your situation, and I hope that’s indicative of a positive trend for you and your family!
