Nice find! That predates my time here and my Wyze Cam ownership. I read through the links, and this seems to confirm my test experience, except that I _did_ use a cellular connection:

I’m not sure why that topic is marked #Wishlist > Probably Not, because it appears to have been granted. I’ll ask about that and about [the Help Center article that also says the phone/tablet and camera must be on the same Wi-Fi network](https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031241932-I-can-t-download-or-view-timelapse-videos#:~:text=To%20view%20a%20timelapse%20video%2C%20you%20must%20first%20download%20the%20video%20to%20your%20phone%20or%20tablet.%20Because%20of%20the%20large%20file%20size%2C%20your%20phone%20or%20tablet%20must%20be%20on%20the%20same%20Wi%2DFi%20network%20as%20your%20camera%20so%20that%20the%20transfer%20can%20happen%20via%20Wi%2DFi%2E).

To be fair, I should note that my cameras are currently on a Cam Unlimited subscription. I don’t know if that matters or why it might, but I want to be clear that I have not personally tested this without a subscription.

Thanks for sharing that, @habib! 👍
