The cameras do seem to be more sensitive to connectivity issues. I have a DSL connection as well and when things act up it always starts with the cameras.
I have 2 4K Apple TV streamers and 2 4K FireTV’s myself. Usually only one is active at a time of course, and to be honest the only time I have issues with them is during a full outage.
In order the devices from most sensitive to least seem to be, Wyze, Ring Camera, Alexa, TV Streamers, everything else.
Weird how that works…
Yep. I’m here to register my desire for the removal of the grey overlay and for the restoration of the previous UI – zoom and swipe – features.
Yes, I often feel nostalgic for the glory days of Wyze v2.4.xx… 
I don’t think of myself predominantly as a clinger-on to the past either. Changes are good when they’re good changes.
That shortcuts/scheduler revamp beginning with v2.5 was an angry bear, with little structural improvement to this day. I’ve resisted the urge to return to v2.4 simply because I invested so much time re-inventing all of what had been automated compound shortcuts into single-task schedules. I’d prefer not to duplicate all of that effort again down the road.
I think the Wyze Cats are pretty smart cookies on balance and I’m optimistic that they’ll eventually stop this ship from listing.
As a career professional software developer who used to run an IT and High-Tech big software systems department I’d strongly encourage Wyze to FREEZE all new feature development and focus on STABILITY to a new core baseline, Fix all the big lingering issues in the grey-film overlay problem, the HW acceleration loss from the new Google mandated 64 Bit Libraries as a new standard and sudden app crashes that frequently now happen when doing event playbacks. Stability is KEY. New features are nice to have but just increase the software complexity and probability of injecting new compounding errors that cross conflate with other errors.
That said BIG KUDOS for giving us the new direct link to the SD memory Card playback that saves us from hunting and pecking on that silly analog time/date ribbon slider bar. That is a GREAT help to us.
But for now please please focus on getting us to a new golden standard baseline with current features that are rock solid stable and test it before releasing it to general public. on a test harness that has a good sample set of smartphones from older to newer vintage technology.
After that - sure - give us more features. But stability is king when it comes to security. We have to be able to see what is going on in panic situations without trying to work around bugs and crashes in real-time under stress.
Thanks @Codyd1,
I’d never tried that… and I rarely use those left/right directional controls. Confirmed that this does restore expected brightness levels for me upon pressing them.
Samsung Note9 / Pie if anyone needs a device comparison.
