Thank you for the info, I will check it out.

Waze, are you listening? This is what people have to resort to, Add the ability to download our content from the web app. Add more controls to the web app. I HATE the phone only experience.

I agree. Iā€™m using wyze because the browser UI is what my grandparents prefer. Reviewing events and live view on a desktop with a TV screen is terrific. But if they need to save or share a clip. They have to bust out the reading glasses squint and fumble with their phones?

Have you ever viewed a DRM-protected video in a web browser? You can play, but you canā€™t download them; the browser publishers are bound by law not to allow their downloads.

Among other things, this is probably what Wyze is planning for SightSafe. People with Cam Plus subscriptions are asking why Wyze wouldnā€™t allow them to download their event clips. That capability is probably planned for a more expensive subscription tier.

Several years ago, I bought software called Snag It which can grab anything on my screen. Since then it now looks like Snag It is subscription based now.

If youā€™re running Windows 11, that capability is already built in (Snipping Tool). Iā€™m sure there are free, open source equivalent utilities.

And, it appears that this SightSafe implementation has broken the ability of this IDM software to download anything from my.wyze.com

Sad.

Thereā€™s a reason Wyze is light-lipped about SightSafe, despite calls to explain what itā€™s supposed to do. Iā€™m afraid SightSafe is aimed at more than stopping downloads. It looks like Wyze is trying to add security codes to the video clips taken from your camera so it ultimately owns the rights to them. Youā€™d need to eventually subscribe to be able to view your own clips!
