My super approved 32 GB Wyze brand cards have never been reliable, defining “hit and miss” from the beginning…

Actually I’ve found that for almost everything, the odds of it working are inversely proportional to just how badly you need it to work at any given moment. 
When you’re testing stuff alone in the garage, it always works… 
On topic, I’ve been very happy so far with the 64GB high endurance cards pre-full-formatted exFAT on a pc, which I believe is the opposite of what Wyze recommends…

You know, that theory holds - for example if your instinct were to wait 3 years for a perfected outdoor camera you could leave plugged in and recording, the right move was to instead go ahead and stick a Wyzecam V2 outside …

with an Unflattering Post from Someone Who NEVER Owned a WYZE CAM Product:
Who Insinuated that WYZE RIPPED OFF Xiaomi Products;
This was My Reply:
I Hope i Set Him and any of his Followers Straight:
Wyze Does Not Riff Off Xiaomi
The Original WYZE Cam is Actually Made by Xiaomi, And Sold to WYZE With FULL KNOWLEDGE and CONSENT to Resell it as a MODIFIED Product Without the Xiaomi Software or Branding.
The Only Difference is that WYZE Uses their Own Custom Software;
WYZE has NEVER Hidden this Fact, and Originally when the Company 1st Started they were Quite Open about it on there Website and Video Presentations.
A for NEW Hardware They May Have Contracted Xiaomi to manufacture for them or Going with Another Manufacturer;
Wyze Does NOT Manufacture the Products themselves, they are a U.S. Based Company.
Unlike the Original WYZE Cam there New Products have been Designed from Scratch in House.
If there are any Similarities in Design to Another Companies Product, I Suggest you Keep in Mind that Most Products {at least start off} Copying there Predecessors to one Degree or Another. {My Opinion}
If your Using a HARDWARE Concept {in other words} Not Even at the Beta Stage Yet, More than Likely the Easiest Way to Start Is by Actually Modifying an Existing Product {Like i have Done with my Own Tinkering} Before Creating Your Own Unique Item.
Te Hardware Stage {Internals and Software} Is What They Will with Start 1st Long Before They Will Decide the What the End Product Will Look Like.
Even if they Already have a Finished Design in mind they can’t easily modify the internals until After Through Testing is Completed.
Keep in Mind that WYZE CAM was NEVER Intended to Be the BEST of the BEST in Terms of Hardware or Overall Features.
There Intention was to Get a VERY GOOD Performing and Easy to Use Product Can be Easily Implemented out there for a Ridiculously Low Price with the Goal of Reaching the Masses that were Either Unwilling or Unable to make the Investment in the Cameras that was Available at the Time, as well as Make it Easy to Use for those that are a Bit Scared of Technology {Yes Know Several People that are Technophobes}.

Ah thanks, that makes sense now. The original poster is confused and somewhat triggered about the differences between the phrases “riff off of” and “ripped off”. They’re quite different, man.

I don’t believe that is entirely correct.
I think WYZE is contracting an outside company to design hardware based on their specifications.

Thats because Wyze buys and resells the same cheap-ass SD Cards as everyone else.

never understand why people get so triggered into defending products they have no affiliation with.
are you trying to justify your realization wyze isnt working out to be the product you imagined. ie half assed.
It’s all this Wyze stock I own!

I must point out: As far as I know, Wyze never advertised or claimed to be a “Security” camera. Yes, I know people use them for that. High-reliability systems use different technology and cost a lot more.
I personally would never rely upon a wireless system for reliable security.
I currently have 5 cameras (3 Wyze, 2 Yi) online for incidental/casual security. I am sorry to say, my Yi 1080p Home cams are much more reliable than Wyze cams. They perform better in every area such as connect times, video smoothness, video clip upload times, better and faster notifications, faster app start, and I have never had an SD card problem with Yi cams. And, last but not least, the Yi app runs on iOS, Android, and Windows. No need for the bloated system slowing BlueStacks for use on your pc.
Yes, I know it’s a small sample size but that is my experience with my average Wifi, Android phone, and HP laptop.
Wyze cams have various " hobby" uses and I recently ordered the new WOC.
But, I would never, never rely on a Wyze Cam.

“with an Unflattering Post from Someone Who NEVER Owned a WYZE CAM Product” … “I Hope i Set Him and any of his Followers Straight:”
Hi Ike,
I actually have made 7 Wyze purchases (and frequently recommend the v2 cam). So you’re off to a bad start in smearing me. As a customer, blessed with insider info, and having worked this industry 15+ years, I replied to your reply - perhaps I’m the one setting things straight.

Zatz justice.
By then way Dave I’m pretty sure it was the “worst contract in the world” option, because Wyze wrote us as much when they announced the loss, saying Xnor (cursed may they and Apple be) had exercised their rights unexpectedly.
“Either they signed the worst contract in the world or were bought off with a large sum of cash to be released early. And now superior on-device detection has been replaced by lesser, cloud-based detection with a gap in service.”

I didn’t see anything unflattering in the article.
It makes sense that the WYZE doorbell would be a rebranded Xiaomi with some changes but there was no insuation of ripping off anything.
I believe you are reading more into the article than was actually written.
Yes, again, he saw "riffed off* and completely misunderstood it to mean “ripped off”. If anything “riffed” is light hearted and positive in English.
Not everyone has a good experience. Please remember that.

Yes. I do remember that. Hard to ignore all the bullies that tell you to stop pointing out all the problems.
