Paying monthly for basic Services.. Never

But you can use the doorbell as a doorbell pretty well without any subscription…SD card record all their events for free, and they still get notifications/calls when someone presses the doorbell button. It works pretty well that way.

Yup. That’s what I do, and I’ve been mostly pleased with the experience so far.

@carverofchoice

I think Wyze should be offering free person detection for everyone on all their newer cameras now from now on.

Yup.

@dave27

Mine work fine for me with no subscription and a decent SD card in each.

Yup-yup.

@carverofchoice

They even take away features that don’t cost them anything unless you pay a subscription

You mean like what Wyze seems to be doing with “free” Person Detection with Edge AI on Cam v4?

@dave27

I almost didn’t have the heart to tell them they were like $15 each ($28 with the good SD cards I bought).

Love for the OG!

How about Tapo cams? Any experience with TP-link cams.

The Carver may or may not have picked up a Tapo C120 recently after I posted some favorable comments elsewhere. If you’re interested, I also answered some other questions about that camera in several posts in a different topic.

@ssummerlin

I do love Kasa bulbs a lot more than Wyze’s bulbs.

What do you like about those? I have some Kasa smart switches only because Wyze wasn’t yet making any at the time I wanted them, and I’ve been pleased with their performance.
