I purchased a camera to be a theft prevention motion detection device.
The notification sounds provided in the app are weak. I need a tone that is LOUD that will wake me up at 2 am when a burglar is present.
Can we get LOUD notification tones for the app please?
On Android you can change the notification sounds in the phone, it is not changed in the app.
On my phone I click through several layers to get to it, but you start with the notification when it happens.
You can even add notifications sounds to the library from ones you created or downloaded if supplied tones don’t work for you
Android 14 on a Pixel 6 Pro, other phones may have slightly different method
Excellent. Thank you!!!
In addition to assigning a unique notification tone to the Wyze App in the Android OS Settings, note that your phone’s volume and state are also important. Wyze can’t affect those. If you use DND or have the volume reduced or on Vibrate, it will affect the delivery of the loud notification tone you are looking for.
You may also think about using a 3rd Party App like MacroDroid to automatically turn your phone to full volume, bypass DND, disable vibrate, and play a unique notification tone for each individual Cam and type of notification (person, pet, vehicle, etc.) when those Push Notifications are received.
Thanks! I do haven’t volume correct. I just needed a louder tone. I got it all good now! 
They really need to look at Ring and how they do theirs. I want to fully switch to Wyze for all my jobsites, but the notifications are SO weak on iOS. Are these “SECURITY” cameras or not?!
Wyze has no control over Apple’s iOS settings limitation.
Buy a Ring camera, look at how they do their notifications, and then come back. I buy probably about 100 cameras per year for job sites. Unfortunately due to Ring’s superior notifications, most of my purchases are Ring.
Why would I want to do that? You are the one who is having a problem, not me. No need to be rude to people who offer insight.
I was t trying to be rude, but this isn’t an iOS issue. It is very much a Wyze issue as evident by other camera companies ability to offer more.
I have a iOS and the sound is so low please make it louder
You can change the volume levels in your iOS settings. The Wyze app doesn’t control the volume of sounds.
If you want something louder or more obvious you can choose from your system sounds or even load in ones of your own (in iOS, not the Wyze app).
I obviously know how to control volume. It’s not about volume. It’s about the limited 3 options that Wyze gives. Ring gives you literally about 81 different tones. Some “louder” or more persistent (longer lasting) than others. Wyze gives me 3. All three are super simple short dings. None that would wake you up at night.
Additionally Ring gives the option to have a different tone (from those 81) per camera. Wyze forces you to select one tone for ALL cameras.
I buy probably 100 cameras per year for job sites. Although overall I think Wyze has a superior product, I buy more RING cameras, because ultimately the goal is security. What good is a camera if by the time I wake up the crime happened hours ago?
As a former programmer of 20 years myself I can tell you this would be a simple change on their part. But rather than make a better user experience, they’d rather spend their resources coming up with 100 other products. I don’t get it.
But you aren’t able to change the notification sound in your OS? You don’t have to choose from the 3 Wyze ones. You can use literally any of millions of sounds you can find out on the internet (if the ones pre-loaded in your phone aren’t enough).
The 3 wyze sounds aren’t simple short dings, I have a feeling your OS is using one of its default sounds if that is the case and not even using the Wyze ones.
I don’t like theirs (and found they weren’t all that reliable, sometimes changing back to the system sound) so I chose a better one on my phone.
EDIT - Sounds like I stand corrected by @habib, I haven’t used apple in a long time. There must be some way to load your own custom sounds using an app or something? Maybe not. If not sounds like it isn’t Wyze that is the bad guy here.
As I mentioned to him earlier, this is an iOS limitation. Yes, Wyze can create additional sounds for the app but that won’t help as system wide sounds are crippled by Apple on iOS.
Some people refuse to listen to reason.
I haven’t done much with iOS but I’m assuming you can assign any sound you want to specific app notifications? I know I helped someone do that in the past but it was a long time ago.
Even on Android I found that it often would just use the system sound regardless of what was selected in the app, so I found a system sound I liked better anyway, no more issues with it changing.
Exactly, long time ago you were able to do that. I used to have favourites songs as notifications and ring tones. Apple took away that option some time ago.
Well over a 2 years ago iOS lost that ability.
Never liked Apple…
Apple used to be okay back in the day, but corporate greed changed everything.
Wow. I make all of my ring and alert tones I pilfer from songs.
