Quite frustrating to see Wyze throw faithful users from the beginning under the bus by not continuing Lite with the new v4. I was ready to buy 3 v4 cams and then found out lite is a no-go. I get how business works. I get it is a corporation that is supposed to make money. Wyze doesn’t have to discar…

I appreciate your sharing that. I understand that the Cam v3 Pro product page and the “About Wyze Cam v3 Pro” Support article are more explicit in their descriptions of “Free person detection”, and the first image you shared appears to be from the “Introducing Wyze Cam v4” Support article , where—at…

It’s true V4/V3 pro has person detection on chip, but I think what’s being asked is: will it send notification without subscription? Also, will this feature add value to a Cam PLus subscription? I have V4s and a V3 pro, only 1 V4 is in use. I have Cam Plus, but so far I don’t see any advantage.

[image] p2788deal: It’s true V4/V3 pro has person detection on chip If it’s there on the Cam v4, then I haven’t yet figured out how to use it. [image] p2788deal: I think what’s being asked is: will it send notification without subscription? That’s a good question, too. It isn’t exact…

[image] p2788deal: will it send notification without subscription? The V3 Pro says it does. I have both a V3 PRo and a V4 but they are on cam unlimited and I don’t want to take them off and try it. [vcd]

[image] Antonius: don’t want to take them off and try it. I can’t test it either because I have Cam Plus and Wyze disabled the ability to remove a camera from Cam Plus.

What I meant that I don’t see any advantage (in my case, but others may find it different), is that my installed V4 functions exactly like the V3 it replaced. I still get the same events, the same notifications. I don’t use its spot light, same with the V3 with a spot light attachment it replaced. …

I don’t do Beta either but smart focus works but currently it only works in Live view. Go walk in front of the cam with smart focus on and have the cam in live view. It works.

@p2788deal , thanks! I think I understand what you mean now: You don’t see a significant advantage to using a Cam v4 over a Cam v3. (I hope that’s correct.) @p2788deal & @Antonius , I don’t blame either of you for not wanting to remove subscriptions just to test this, and you shouldn’t have to. W…

V3Pro is more fun. I can watch my front door with the app closed :rofl: I think the V4 may get it also someday. [pro]

Not Continuing Cam Plus Lite is a bait and switch

I think the V4 may get it also someday.

Did Cam v4 quietly get a new floating Live Stream (picture-in-picture) feature?

Lack of continuity
