I was having the same problem, it turns out, if you are not in the US or Canada, it has no way of adjusting the time.
I have to disagree with this. I’m in Central Europe and all of my cameras show the local time. While I’ve had some issues with my cameras, time synchronization has never been one of them.
This is what i do. I put a alexa enable smart plug that i can turn off and on anywhere in the workld. You can do it from the app the smart plug has released or set it up through alexa. That makes it so that i can cut the power and restart camera if it goes down. It help all kinds. Try that… .they are cheap.
i sware its been 80% terrible for almost three years. i think i pay for service on eight cameras and if they cant bring my event to be viewable im done. ive have had so much patience with Wyze. the plug also is not a good idea. it needs to be reconnected often, physically.
Hi there - thank you for your reply - I’m only seeing it now - sorry. 
I’m VERY DISAPPOINTED IN WYZE 
- I’m not going to sign up for any subscriptions - so many things are portrayed on the box as part of your cameras function BUT 
NOT INCLUDED TAKEN AWAY AFTER 2 WEEKS OF SETTING THE CUSTOMER UP TO THINK all those WONDERFUL functions are part of the camera BUT 
THEY ARE
NOT 
- SUDDENLY TAKEN AWAY YOUR LOCKED OUT OF USING THOSE FUNCTIONS ON THE CAMERA BY WYZE AFTER 2 weeks WHAT A WASTE OF 
- THIS IS TERRIBLE. IF WYZE IS ABLE TO BLOCK YOU FROM HAVING THOSE FUNCTIONS - they certainly ARE MONITORING OTHER THINGS…funny I seem to get FAKE ALERTS AFTER MIDNIGHT WHEN IM on my phone doing twitter or something in another room far from the camera - my phone activity is monitored fake alerts arrive to get me to subscribe that should be looked into by another source -
There was a PRIVACEY BREACH I READ ABOUT where other people could access your view - why didn’t WYZE CONTACT ME & SEND ME AN ALERT 
ABOUT THAT
SAYS ALOT ABOUT WYZE 
The Customer SERVICE IN PHILIPPINES IS LIMITED - they don’t offer any type of compensation for problems the app and camera have caused -it didn’t work when it was needed 3 people entered this place NOTHING RECORDED - that was the first week of having the OG CAMERA - the support in Philippines gave info that is not true - not correct info- put sd card in - that will stop the subscribing advertisements from Wyze bugging me to subscribe -NOT TRUE the app is very complicated -NOT SMOOTH - it needs a make over - to view my sd card alerts recordings IT SHOULD BE SIMPLE - it is the opposite of simple WHY are THE ALERTS WHEN THERE IS A NOISE DETECTED OR MOTION SO SLOW TO ARRIVE:interrobang:
- THE alerts USE TO BE Arriving RIGHT AWAY ?? Why can’t I fast forward through an alert on the sd card view:interrobang: - I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS MICKEY MOUSE WYZE APP & CAmera. It’s just ridiculous with false alerts day & night of advertisements to subscribe .
If I was away and I got an alert of noise or motion - I’d call police - if it’s a fake alert like they are most often - BIG HUGE PROBLEMS VIA POLICE BEING BOTHERED that needs to be reported to some unrelated office - WYZE APP FAKE ALERTS WILL CAUSE POLICE BEING CALLED TO FAKE SITUATION - WYZE IS NOT CLUED IN - WYZE PRODUCTS CAN NOT BE TRUSTED - sorry but it’s true.
UNLESS YOUR INTO WASTING MONEY AND Subscribing …and still being bothered to sunscribe to a better feature more money that Wyze locked you out of A HUGE waste of money - I hope
Consumer protection in Canada might already have complaints from other people that found the same things happening to them- I’ll be checking:100:
Sorry guys I’ have no time day or night to look at fake alerts that were JUST WYZE PUSHING ads to bug you to do a subscription / with fake alerts -
WYZE HAS BIG PROBLEMS.They seem extremely DESPERATE for SUBSCRIBERS -is it because of something else they did inappropriately who are the guys in corporate - do you know ? Just SAYING….They are not tuned in at all…. they hide like cowards…or as if they know their products are not working properly -hide avoid customers & others.
Waste of TIME THEY ARE and their WYZE products sorry…. I’m just being real:bangbang:I I sure wish Wyze would snap into caring about customers who buy their product - stop controlling the device- the customer should have FULL CONTROL
IF I WERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO SECURITY MONITORING …IT WOULD BE WITH A LOCAL COMPANY BELL OR ROGERS …IN MY CITY OR PROVINCE NOT EVER WITH …a company that doesn’t even have an office in Canada doing support.
It’s a shame Wyze went in such a tacky bad direction:100:I really liked the camera - initially but I want to access it myself without a Wyze app - I don’t want WYZE involved with the camera at all - I can’t do that can I with camera info details -
Wyze is locked into the camera big time - I can’t wipe the camera or stop Wyze from being linked to it - this is so unfair - AND VERY STRANGE … so very wrong -
Wyze really looks bad - like a bunch strange control freaks -desperate to get subscribers - taking advantage of consumers big time:bangbang:
So there you go - sorry for so much info - just try to maybe understand where I’m coming from.
Hey Please.
Take care stay safe & wear 
your MASKS YOU GUYS! 
You look very smart wearing them & YES I wear mine before I leave til I come home EVEN TO THE GARBAGE CHUTE OR MAIL ROOM AND IN MY CAR - I don’t want covid or any flu -wash your hands and scrub those finger Nails often especially the thumbs guys & girls it’s no fun having covid from a
drive-through Tacco place - the server at the window sounded like he had a cold - a tech friend ….tested positive next day postive 2 weeks it was horrible the things happening to him …he could hardly talk without coughing out of breath …anxiety like crazy …2weeks of not being able to eat much …digestive problems - then again weeks later covid again …then a month later - last year - the senior repair tech of X-ray machines needed by big companies day night to get xray machines up running right away fast- He DIDNT WANT TO WEAR A MASK - yes he’s sorry big time - after affects still happening - long term affects a big concern. Don’t put r your health your abilities -at risk - the cost & lack of meds offered - or fighting with drs or pharmacy’s for covid meds to be given to you - no fun just be smart look intelligent …wear your masks & n95 fit most people blue masks waste of time using - gaps every where.
Think I’ve said enough have a nice evening near or far everyone.

(Why We're Pulling Our Recommendation of Wyze Security Cameras | Wirecutter)
Because you were not one of the 10 users who’s video was viewed by others. You were not affected and therefore didn’t need to be notified. Wyze has been very transparent since the issue occured, was very quick to react to it, and provided regular updates since then. {
link to official topic} While you may choose to believe what you read on the internet, the credibility of the source should be scrutinized as well.
That is why it is a Cam Plus Trial. If you choose to continue the subscription, or not, that is your choice.
It very well may be. But not by Wyze.
They are limited in what they can do. But, since you aren’t paying Wyze for any subscription, you aren’t out anything.
This can be done with an App called TinyCam Monitor. I have and use TinyCam Monitor Pro (paid version)
I have 27 Wyze cams in place (VDB, V3, V3Pro, PanV1, PanV3, FLP, OGS, OGT), all with Cam Plus, I have the HMS Security System with Professional Monitoring and multiples of every type of sensor, the Thermostat, Vacuum, Nightlights, 3 Wyze Mesh Router Pro’s, many Wyze Bulbs, too many Wyze Plugs to count, and I have more cams sitting and waiting to be installed and more in the shipping pipe right now. I am more than satisfied with how all of them operate. I would personally not own a Wyze Cam used for security purposes without Cam Plus and would gladly pay more for the features Cam Plus and the HMS provide. That being said, they are not plug and play. Every device must be individually tuned for your use case and application environment. These are not Sick-Ups cams. They are more advanced and feature rich than most users realize, if used properly and to their full potential.
If you want to learn how to tune your cam so that it does what you want it to do, there are plenty of friendly satisfied users here in the forum that can help you do that.
Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. We’ll try some of them until we install CCTV instead. It is true that Wyze is cheaper than other providers but in the long run, it’s not worth it for us.
