Some camera models are currently not available to be added to the HMS Security Cameras list located at: Monitoring tab > Home Monitoring Settings > Security Cameras > Your Cameras - Edit.
Please allow users to select the following additional camera models to be added to the Security Cameras list:
At the moment not sure what having additional cameras would do for HMS. Mostly they allow you to view the cams if you get any kind of alert. From my reading, the cameras really don’t add any functionality to HMS.
5 cams can be added to the HMS designated as “Security Cams”. This integrates the cams into the Home Monitoring Tab by allowing those 5 cams to be “Grouped” together as security cams outside of the Home tab device list for live streaming. It also provides an event viewing UI similar to that which is on the Doorbell cams across all 5 Security Cams. As @WildBill mentioned, there are additional Security Threat alerts, however these are redundant of the cam’s native notification capabilities and aren’t as detailed.
The Wyze Cam Pan V3 cannot currently be selected for addition as a Security Cam, nor can the Wyze Cam OG. The last cam to be added to the list was the Wyze Cam V3 Pro.
I have learned that the Wyze Cam Pan V3 has been added to the HMS Security Cam selection list in the current Beta App 2.39 that is currently undergoing Beta Testing.
Once the Beta Test concludes and the app is approved by QA for Update Release, we should see the Pan V3 in the list after updating.
No word yet on the OG Cams. They were just released so it will probably be the next update after this one.
New Wyze Cam Pan v3 and Wyze Cam OG does not work on Home Monitoring
I just bought 4 of each hoping to upgrade my home monitoring cameras. Nada. Doesn’t even give me the option to choose the new cameras. Whats the status on a firmware update?
Currently the OG camera is not available to be assigned as a Home Monitoring Security Camera. Obviously, I didn’t purchase the cameras to just look around, but to create an alert that would in turn create an alarm when an intruder enters the home via breaking a window or other non-sensor vehicles.
Please make the Wyze OG camera compatible with the Wyze Home Monitoring system.
I have both the Video Doorbell Pro and the Floodlight Pro, neither of which is supported for use as a security camera in Home Monitoring. It’s a shame, and quite surprising, that two cameras labeled as “Pro” currently lack this ability I expected that this ability would have been added to HMS prior to the release of these cameras…
