Which tablet do you have? I was thinking of grabbing the 7 off of Amazon…
I am bummed to find out the live stream won’t stay on longer than a few minutes on echo show but it does with my iPad mini and iPhone…weird.
I use the Fire HD 8 Tablet , they have a good price right now , I paid 60 bucks for mine

And the screen stays on 24/7 with the Wyze cam?
Yes it does , once in a while I have seen it glitch and go back to the wyze app home page , there are many people that use tablets in this manner to monitor their cameras 24/7
Using the wyze app on a tablet you can monitor 4 cameras at once if you like
The Fire 7" tablet will work just the same , cost a little less .
Pretty neat mount for the Fire 7"

My fire 7 showed up today, I loaded google play on it from the video and it’s working BUT the live stream is seriously delayed! If I switch to 360p it’s a little better but looks crappy. Do you have this issue???

Some cameras I get 2 to 5 seconds delay in HD, some cameras I get no delay in HD
Set to SD I don’t get any delay.
Viewing multiple cameras at once I get no delay

I purchased a wyze cam v.2 and multiple echo show 5’s so that I could monitor my Mom that has been given weeks left. This would allow me to know when she is in distress no matter what part of the house I’m in at the time (such as cooking dinner for her) but this timeout function make this almost useless! Please, give us a way to watch our loved ones and keep them safer

I understand how you feel but , This is not something that is gonna be changed overnight or in a week, so if you need 24/7 viewing right now , you should get another device (tablet , phone) and add the wyze app to it , you can monitor 24/7 that way

Or, spend $3 -$4 dollars for the app “tinyCam Monitor PRO”.
I’m disappointed with Wyze on this, but at least this app works.
Thank you for the information. I too am disappointed that I can’t view for more than a few minutes as well as being able to disable the microphone for shared viewers. My sister is the RN of the family and I want her to have access, BUT, no one in the household here want the microphone to be working, only video. These seem to be fairly simple and obvious QOL additions that have (according to posts I’ve read) been asked for since 2017. I hope these options are added soon. Until then I’ll try the app you mentioned or just return the Wyze cam and purchase something that has these choices
Yes you can run tiny Cam with an emulator on your PC , or run it on your Android device , that’s not gonna do anything to change the viewing on your multiple echo show 5’s
you can monitor 24/7 on your Android device with the wyze app so in that case tiny cam is unnecessary
Make continuous streaming on amazon echo an option!

I am trying to use a V2 with an Amazon show as a baby monitor and need to keep the display and audio active all night. My issue is the show seems to timeout after roughly 5 minutes. Has anyone else had this issue and found a way around it?

Wyze, if you’re listening, I love your products and ecosystem, but you have to do something about this 10 minute limit if its within your control. If not just say so please so many of us can make alternate decisions.
Make it a service add-on if you have to in order to pay some extra bills. I’d gladly pay the same as the complete motion capture if I had to in order to get a camera to stream indefinitely to an echo show.
I’m shocked to see this has been complained about since 2018. Begging you to get this done.

I’ve seen those with other cameras mention also have a timeout when streaming via Alexa, so it seems to be a limitation on the Alexa side. If you are considering any other camera for use for the Show, definitely check the Q&A and reviews for any mention of that same limitation.
Guys, I think this has been fixed? Today I noticed when watching my camera set up in my nursery that my Echo Show didn’t timeout. To test if this was a fluke, I did it again several more times. There appears to be a brief “buffering” message right before the 10 minute mark on the stream, but the stream reappears and continues. I currently have a stream into my nursery going for 30 minutes and counting.
Just launched a Wyze cam on my Show, going to wait and see.
Still going strong?
