Get motion alerts from neighbor's shared camera

[davidmac27]

My neighbor shared his camera with me. It looks out to our cul-de-sac. After 9 plus months, all of a sudden, I am getting EVERY SINGLE motion alert from this camera. I checked my iOS app which is up to date and I don’t have his camera listed in the notification. I have about 8 V2 and V3 cameras. How do I turn off the notifications from his shared camera???

Currently notification settings for shared cameras are very limited. You have 2 options:

1. The owner of the cams turns off notifications in the cams settings. Neither of you will get notifications.

2. You turn off notifications for the entire app with the bell icon in the upper right of the home page. This will prevent you from getting notifications from any other cams though.

For why it suddenly started, the owner of the cam probably just turned on notifications. Maybe he didn’t have them enabled previously.

Since this is so limited, many users have been requesting that more permission settings are added. Please add a comment to this thread and hit the green vote button at the top.

I tried that multiple times. No luck. Usually it says this if this in wishlist.

Multiple Users' Permissions for Shared Users

So we have multiple camera’s set up at our house. My wife and I both have the app and I shared the camera with her. The problem we run into is that I want to give her full access to control settings also, but there is no permissions list for users who have access to the camera. Every time one person wants to change the settings, increase sensitivity, turn off notifications etc, you have to call/text the other person to change the settings. We use them for security and as a baby monitor so set…

That worked. Thanks. I see I had already voted on this very old request.

Thank you…

So you are telling us there is no way to turn off notifications to shared cams for that person you shared it with without turning off notifications to yourself. So now the only option is to not share but login and out from their account to mine, if they don’t want notifications. That’s messed up especially if they have their own cams to monitor and only want their notifications while I can still get my own notifications from the cams I shared with them. Please find a fix. There needs to be away that the person you shared your cam with can turn off notifications to them from their app without destebing my settings.

Thank you!

For what it’s worth, Forum Maven @carverofchoice shared some ideas for Android users in the thread linked above:

Multiple Users' Permissions for Shared Users

While I agree that Wyze should resolve this themselves… In the meantime, if you have Android, there is a workaround to save your sanity. You can use apps that work as notification interceptors like Macrodroid, Tasker, Buzzkill, and many others (I only listed those 3 because they are the ones I use). You can set them up to watch for any notification that comes from Wyze with that camera name in the title and tell it to automatically dismiss that notification before it shows up on your phone. Or …

I don’t have any personal experience using the tools he listed, but something there might be a solution for reducing unwanted notifications from shared cameras.
