Hows that fast forwarding feature coming along, I hope by future you didn’t mean decades later…
I even bought cam plus on my 2 cameras pan cam v3,
and need to remove the SD anytime I need to find something important or scroll through footage to see events events occuring throughout the day without having to scroll one event at a time, and I’m recording continuous.
Wyze is straight up trash for not resolving this problem after 7 years have passed, straight up bull ****
What’s the old adage… You get what you pay for!
A fun adage, but there is too much wrong with that adage now. Too often, paying a lot more now only means you are paying for higher profit margins and not necessarily better quality with more stuff.
This has been proven true recently with a lot of luxury brands who got outed for manufacturing their products in China, then shipping them to Europe or the USA to stitch on a “made in Europe” or USA tag on them even though the exact same item and same quality from the exact same supplier that makes it for the luxury brands can be bought from China directly for a tenth of the cost, or less. The exact same item and exact same quality.
Then you get into other examples of white labeling, OEM, ODM, etc and get the exact same item at wildly different prices with different companies. And paying more is absolutely not getting you more in those cases.
So to me, the adage of you get what you pay for, may have had some truth to it several decades ago in the far distant past , but has almost totally flipped now to often simply stand for the fact that you get what you pay for is when you pay more, you are often just paying for higher profit margins and not an improved product with higher quality and more features.
I also have cameras from at least 6 different smart camera companies, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. I’m also in forums for several of them, and a lot of people have similar complaints for all the other companies in their forums too, including complaining about missing features for that company that Wyze does already offer.
Having said all that, don’t get me wrong, it definitely drives me nuts that we can’t do fast forward on our SD cards with Wyze. I mean, it’s great that we can jump forward or backward 30 seconds on some of the cameras, or do fast forward with cloud events, but to me, It seems like fast forward and rewind is an obvious major feature that most people expect with any kind of video interaction. So I personally think they should really implement this. At the very least, they should try to implement this on one camera model even if it’s a new one. Just so they can run tests and statistics to see how often people use it. Then if or maybe I should say when the data shows that it’s a popular feature that gets used a lot, then they should expand it to all the rest of the cameras because they will have data supporting that it is something lots of people will use frequently. I wish they would at least do that as a as a starting point to gather some data to prove how high demand this feature is.
Still after all this time they still have not fixed playback and review of videos. It’s one of the most painful experiences with this app.
The old nest Doorbell Cam works better than this. What is the issue with seeing live play back as we swipe through to playback videos?!
Also when reviewing video the cam will crash then I have to start over again. Super useless
Absolutely agree! Been saying this for years…
Any update on latest for this ?? I noticed that AI Chat bot suggested to sign up for Cam Plus to unlock it but after I did it wasn’t there and now the AI Chat mentioned that there is no such thing… 
I’m finally switching to TP-Link Tapo cameras as they offer up to 16x playback off the SD card. I’m tired of having to sit through hours of video at 1x to find an event that happened.
I wish they would do addition of a playback speed control to the app, similar to the feature available on YouTube. This would allow users to watch footage at 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x, or even 3x speed, making it much more efficient to rewatch material. Please Please add this feature.
