Hi, folks! Here is a copy of an email going out to everyone now. It’s really important so make sure you read it! <a name="p-611733-terms-of-service-and-security-updates-update-your-firmware-and-app-to-the-latest-version-to-best-protect-your-account-and-see-whats-changed-in-our-terms-of-service-1" class="anchor" href="#p-611733-terms-of-service-and-security-updates-update-your-firmware-and-app-to-the-latest-version-to-best-protect-your-account-and-see-whats-changed-in-our-terms-of-service-1" aria-label="Heading link"> Terms of Service and Security Updates: Update your firmware and app to the latest version to best protect your account and see what’s changed in our terms of service. Hey, friends! It…

Oh dear - sounds like a major security hole has been discovered but not disclosed. Tut-tut That’s why I never put all my IP camera eggs in the Wyze basket

We are having more issues about these lack of notifications: [image] Not getting notifications Cameras They won’t fix it. Occasionally it works and then not. I have already given up to trust getting notifications.

[image] [POLL] Force firmware update? Don't bug me! ant Cameras In my experience, when updating firmware, I gain features, have some bugs fixed - but often have new bugs introduced. I can deal with a devil I know: The cam operation is STABLE on an older firmware - no…

I’ve been saying this for years, it’s two steps forward, one step back. It seems a violation for them to PUSH firmware updates. I’ve many cameras inaccessible to me. I’m always about 800 miles away from half my cameras, either in Virginia or Mississippi. I will no longer recommend Wyze cams. …

So just a few minutes ago I opened the app on my iPad…guess what? There is a new pop-up forcing you to agree to the new terms of service or else you can’t use the app. Pretty poor from Wyze.

I decided to update rather than wait for the push, and now my Cam 2 won’t work at all. The iOS update worked, but the firmware update seemed to fail - I got that notification - but NOW there is no option to update the firmware so I’m stuck. I’ve rebooted etc. but the camera has been completely off…

On Android you can tap the “back” button and continue using the app without accepting the new terms.

Seems like a danger all right. Let us know how that works out.

I will be less hesitant if Wyze Software Quality Control test is effective. Wyse needs a comprehensive replacement if tgey brick a device as there is no older firmware available ( must be cyrrent?)
