Everything Ken.S said is true. Nobody lied. The company did what it said it would do and actually nagged me to death before they did it (thank you for the nagging, I almost let it go).
I have free Person Detection on my V2 and Cam Pan.
People really like to jump to conclusions. Good Job Ken S. on the research.
See my post above for what I think about people complaining.
Absolutely not true, Ken S commonly posts on this forum just to bash or persuade people with legitimate Wyze issues to give in and pay an ungodly fee for something other manufactures offer for free. They either he works for wyze or have some odd obsession with this thread. I think it’s cute and funny that anything he says can easily be torn to shred with simple facts. The simple fact is Wyze offered AI person detection for free with every camera they made (pre v3 and battery cams) that was a third party add on that ran onboard the camera. The company they got the add on from (Xnor.AI) got bought by apple and they changed to subscription based ai with a small window to sign up for free. Instead of offering another add on or developing inhouse AI software wyze did what wzye does best, they bought out. The data from your camera gets sent to a third party server which analyzes and responds back. Wyze has absolutely no control over the data being sent from your camera, the pricing of your ai or cloud subscription after their contract ends with their current ai company. They will continue to rebadge already existing products and services until you pump enough money into the company they can buy something better, all while prices continue to go up and services are listed like an ala cart menu at McDonalds. If you enjoy supporting the missions of CEO Yun Zhang and CPO Dongsheng Song with your money, data and time then I feel bad for you. After all we are no longer buying a $20 camera to check on our loved ones but an ecosystem of mass produced plastic scheduled to charge us a monthly fee right when we forget why we bought it the first place.
