Yeah, that’s why I included the link which should’ve highlighted text in the Help Center article specifying that Video Doorbell Pro works only for Events (not Live Stream) in Web View.
Yes, that should work.
Yes, the Help Center article I linked earlier should’ve made that clear, and I can personally see live video from my Video Doorbell v2 when I log into Web View now with a Cam Unlimited trial currently on my account.
You could do that on a PC, but you’d have to attach your phone to the PC somehow (I use scrcpy to run my phone from my Linux desktop after connecting the two with a USB cable) or run some kind of Android emulator on the PC with the Wyze app installed on that (such as Windows Subsystem for Android while it’s still available). At least those are the easiest ways I’m aware of to do that. The key is that you need to be able to control the Wyze app from your PC, because currently that’s the only way (as far as I know) to access the microSD recordings while the card is still in the camera or doorbell. There are Wishlist items requesting remote access to microSD, but that’s not something that’s immediately available outside the app.
Two things you may want to consider if you’re thinking about a Video Doorbell v2:
- Video Doorbell v2’s microSD card access slot is on the side of the device, and that’s something that drew complaint after it was released. (Because of that, there was interest in a cover. I ended up fabricating an angled mount for mine, which includes a slot cover.) Duo Cam Doorbell has the slot on the back, so it’s potentially more secure, and removing Duo Cam Doorbell from its mount is easily accomplished with the included Detaching Pin (or you could even use a paperclip).
- That model is intended for use with a home’s built-in chime and doesn’t include a remote wireless chime like Video Doorbell (v1) or Video Doorbell Pro. If you have certain Wyze Cam models, you can use those as accessory chimes for Video Doorbell v2. Duo Cam Doorbell can also do this, and it includes a wireless chime so it’s ready to go out of the box if you don’t already have other chime options to use. I mention this because you’re using a plug-in transformer that you added and not using an existing transformer-to-chime-box configuration.
