No one is making Wyze do anything. It’s the service they offered for sale and we bought when getting the cameras. They could easily give us the option of recording to our own offsite storage but chose to supply limited storage instead.
You and I, and a few others, have come up with ways to expand on the services Wyze offered but the majority of customers will not. I suspect the majority of users use the cameras as a remote viewer and don’t care about recording at all.
I do use MEmu android emulator. TinyCam is more automated but can be unreliable. I have TinyCam sending clips to Google drive, my home FTP server (NAS) and to it’s own storage but sometimes it will go a day without recording anything.
