You have to be more transparent here. For some people this will mean failed updates and climbing on icy snowy ladders to reset cameras and try card flashing in mid air in the dead of winter.

1. When you say "latest* do you mean only the absolutely latest firmware will be supported?
2. When exactly will previous firmware stop working with Wyze services?
3. Is there a current exploit or threat that leaves any part of Wyze systems or user activity vulnerable?

3b. If so, why is the service still allowed to those vulnerable machines? Why not cut them off NOW?

Still waiting. If the answer is “no, it’s just so we don’t have to worry about our new forced app talking to your ancient box firmware,” then please say so. There are already several threads about people who acted on your advisory above and now have bricked cameras.

Was the January 11 app cutoff executed or postponed? Does this have any bearing on 3rd party (TinyCam) access?

While I’m waiting, I’ve been reading Larry Fink’s ‘It’s the Capitalism, Stupid.’

Not that comforting and nothing new in there.
