My info held hostage…sort of. Honest, not selling data? I want to get rid of ISP, (all), and just have a local system for cameras. I will wait a little while and if not, I will dump WYZE. Which I am guessing what will happen. I like the older app better. I like cam v3. V4 sux. Just tired of the constant updates, all the different software and companies updating. Updating. Updatinh. Updating like a software shootout where some features die. Plus a “man in the middle” isp making life tough. This just all sux.
And now the AI garbage. Ai, who cares?

Wyze is not designed for what you want. It is a cloud camera that requires internet to work correctly. Same for Blink, Ring, TP Link, and many others out there.
As @WildBill said, look into “closed circuit” systems with an NVR.
Sounds like a good idea but, I use my phone to view my cams in the house, across town or overseas. A closed-circuit may be nice but cheap technology snuffs that idea out for me. I just don’t film stuff that is sensitive.
You can set up remote viewing for most of the modern closed circuit systems, but typically need port forwarding and a dynamic DNS service. Setting up a VPN server to access the home network remotely rather than exposing the system directly to the internet is probably a better idea.
But they’re overkill for my needs, sounds like same for you.
I really appreciate it. The cam v4 sd card playback really sux compared to cam v3 and has finally motivated me to make changes I’ve been wanting to do. I am lookimg forward to them now. I really liked sd viewplayback on cam v3. So simple and is actually true. V4 is horrible. Like the new wyze app.
