I have 10 other Wyze cams so I think I know what I’m doing.
I installed this in my backyard. An event occurred triggered by motion. I went to see the video and there was just a photo. When I pushed Play, it said can’t play the event video without CamPlus.
Sometime ago, Wyze removed the 12 second Video as a standard. They now only provide a snap shot.
However, they added Cam Plus Lite with a Name your Price option. You can select $0 (free) or anything on up. This will give you the 12 second video back and includes person detection as well. Additionally, if you have Cam Plus, you can add the camera to an available license.
Scroll down to Key Features and look at the different services. Cam Plus Lite is the middle option and at the bottom of the list there will be a link for Name your Price.
I looked at the page you posted and there is a footnote 4 which I think means the list is for CamPlus, not Lite. This is from Seapup saying new cameras aren’t supported:
Yea, saw that. but then on another page it stated All Cam Plus Services. Guess labeling them Cam Plus and Cam Plus Lite, when it was indicated Services, I figured it was for all Cam Plus Services.
Ok, thanks for the info everyone. I already have a bunch of Wyze cams. I bought these because they looked cool to just play around with them. No video without a subscription… sorry, that’s a no go for me. These two will be returned to Wyze. - Paul
All you need is an SD card to get your video. The SD card will even play the event for hours if you like. No functionality lost, except only 1 notification every 5 minutes (the camera still captures, and notifies you when the event starts).
You do not. On your cloud event is a “Playback” button. This plays the event from the SD card instead of the cloud. You can do that from anywhere in the world.
I don’t see the playback option you described. When I clicked the playback button it sends a popup asking me for a subscription at the service page. It’s not possible to playback on SD card.
