And so are you saying my only choice is to pay for a subscription? I originally got onboard with Wyze Cameras because they were affordable and DID NOT require a subscription. I’m trying to stay away from subscription services. I guess I will continue to use the product as I have found a work around using a Micro SD card. I only get snapshots in the notifications but can still go back and review video footage. Not as user friendly but neither is paying for a subscription… Sorry Wyze has decided to move in this direction. I guess I will take a hard look on my next purchase.
