I’m pretty shocked this isn’t already integrated into the system as it seems pretty basic.
How many hundreds of people have to ask for it for it to get integrated? I’m 705th ing this.
I also am requesting that the ability to have different sounds for different devices be added into the app. To make it truly useful with many devices this functionality is a must.

It would be fantastic if I could assign differing motion notification sounds to each separate Wyze Cam. That way when I heard the notification sound I would know immediately from which cam the motion is detected. There is already a short lull between the motion and the notification, and it takes more time to open the app and find out where the motion was detected around my home. Knowing immediately from which cam the motion is detected by way of a distinct notification sound would allow me to act more quickly to confront trespassers/thieves/etc. Ring allows this, why not Wyze?
App/Home Monitoring Critical audible Alert is bad, when alarm is triggered
When the alarm goes off in the Wyze App on my iPhone, I find that the critical notification isn’t sufficiently loud or attention-grabbing enough to wake me up. It only emits a single beep. I would appreciate a recommendation for an alternative, like the Amber Alert tone, which is loud and persistent until the user acknowledges the alert. This is crucial because I’m frequently on the road, and there have been instances where the alarm has been triggered, but the critical alert is too weak and inconsistent. If I were sleeping, I could easily sleep through it.
We have 6 Wyze Cameras around our house. We recently installed the Doorbell camera. We don’t get a lot of event notifications from the cameras but we get enough so that we don’t immediately check them when they come through. Now since the notification is the same for 6 cameras and the doorbell, we don’t when someone is at our door. Desperately need a different notification sound for doorbell motion and/or button press of the doorbell. Our only options now to make sure we know the doorbell has gone off is to either disable notifications on all other cameras, or go back to our old Ring Doorbell.
I have the same problem because I have 12 cameras hooked up. It would be very nice if Wyze could Incorporate text to voice so that the notification would be the name of the camera. That would eliminate all problems because we would rush to the Camera we know is important.
That’s a great idea. I keep my notifications off because otherwise all I hear all day is my cameras picking up movement. I would love to only have 2 cameras and my doorbell to alert me too.
Any chance we can add this to a Feature Request. I have about 6 different cameras and a doorbell camera. It would be nice to be able to tell who is at the door vs the cameras at work.

Wyze cameras put ring to shame! Ring software is about 15 years ahead of wyze. Wyze does not seem to care!
I’ve been filing complaints about the instances like float is talking about for years!
Now that these cameras have AI built into them I’d like to see better configurability for the notification sounds. The doorbell can (usually) differentiate between a pet and a person and even a package. I’d like to be able to have different sounds based on those different detections. That way if I hear one sound I know “OK it is just a cat walking in front of the doorbell camera” vs a different one if it is actually a person or a package.
I know iOS is more locked down than Android so changing some things is harder or impossible. I believe these notification sounds for the doorbell are internal to the Wyze app so in theory it should be possible. If the app can detect one type of alert over another one, it should then be able to play the corresponding sound for it.
You’re speaking to a retired computer programmer, systems analyst, network engineer, account manager. Yep, sounds like work to me - isn’t that what we do every day?
The Wyze Application tags the notification and the SD card with a badge of person, vehicle, pet or package via AI. I just thought, instead of grabbing a default sound, AI could take the camera name, (which the application knows and puts in the notification) then convert text to voice.
Chill brother, I was kidding. You can ask for the moon but Wyze will only do what’s good for them. They still haven’t figured out the full landscape and dark mode, and you are asking for them to give you different alert tones. Dream on.
I did my time in the world of IT as well, although mostly on the hardware end of things. I still don’t think adding different sounds for different events would be a huge coding task. The AI is already doing most of the grunt work differentiating the different events; person, pet, etc., assigning different sound effects to each of those should be pretty trivial.
Why can’t we have special notifications for specific cameras? This is utterly ridiculous for a “security” camera not having as much security as possible. I have been putting out lot of complaints about this, but nothing is done.
Feature Suggestion: Customizable Sound Alerts for Multiple Wyze Cameras
Dear Wyze Team,
I am a Wyze Cam Pan v3 and truly appreciate the thoughtful design and advanced features of your products. The camera’s 360° horizontal and 180° vertical view range, 1080p resolution, and built-in two-way audio have been incredibly beneficial for monitoring my property.
However, as someone who uses multiple Wyze cameras, I’ve noticed a potential area for improvement. Currently, all cameras use the same default sound for notifications, making it difficult to identify which camera is sending an alert. I propose adding a feature that allows users to assign unique sound alerts to each camera.
Why This Matters:
Clear Differentiation: Unique sounds for each camera would make it easy to distinguish alerts at a glance (or listen).
Practical Monitoring: Users can prioritize or identify critical areas (e.g., front door, backyard, or nursery) without needing to check the app.
Enhanced Usability: Customizable alerts align with the flexibility and personalization that users value in Wyze products.
Given the Wyze Cam Pan v3’s advanced audio capabilities and software flexibility, this feature could likely be implemented as part of a firmware or app update.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. I’m confident this enhancement would greatly improve the user experience for those managing multiple Wyze cameras. Please let me know if there’s any additional feedback I can provide.

It would be nice if Wyze would allow customization of notification sounds by device type.
I would love to be able to differentiate a notification from my vide doorbell v2 from my OG cameras. I mean come on, a doorbell button is not the same as motion away from the door!
