Is there a way to be notified if a camera is unplugged?

[mzkerribaby761]

I have a teenager that I am concerned may unplug the cameras. Is there a way to get notification of this event? Or better yet, a backup way to keep the cameras recording???

I don’t think so. It’s on the wishlist.

Loss of Communication/Network Connection Notification & Log

A feature I would like to see is to get an alert notification if my camera is disconnected/switched offline outside of manual activation in the app. This would help in cases folks could be alerted to power outages or at least get a heads up if someone/something potentially unplugged the camera. [Mod Note]: Please note that this wishlist topic is not limited to cameras. It covers all WiFi-connected Wyze device types.

Actually there is. There are several programs that you can run on a PC inside your network that will ping each camera and take some action based on a failure. A Google search will come up with several.
If you are only concerned with a single camera and don’t have or want to leave a computer on all the time, you can also set up an external monitoring service and a a port forwarding to verify that the camera is still there. If either of these options is a possibility, I can give you more details.
