I realize that this is off-topic, but I’m going to ask anyway.

What exactly does “Activation Date” mean? I would’ve expected it to refer to the date that I first added a camera to the Wyze app and completed setup, but that doesn’t always seem to be the case. For example, here are four cameras I currently have connected to my app:

Product Date Received/Installed Activation Date (per app)
:cam_og: Cam OG 29 January 2024 01/29/2024
:cam_pan_v3: Cam Pan v3 5 March 2023 03/05/2023
:cam_pan_v3: Cam Pan v3 29 January 2024 01/29/2024
:doorbell_v2: Video Doorbell v2 6 November 2023 08/29/2023

The Activation Date that the app lists for the Video Doorbell v2 really puzzles me, because it’s apparently listed as 29 August 2023, but that product wasn’t released until 24 October 2023.

Like I said, I know this is off topic. I’m just wondering if this data will help shed any light on the apparent timing issue of when this problem cropped up. I really don’t know.
