Eye candy no longer excites me so I’ll wait. What I want to see is PC APPP, and remote device restart. The SECOND those show up… I’M IN!!! Don’t get me wrong, I really, really, really appreciate the frequent firmware and software updates and the attention to detail and customer requests the wyzeg…

The cameras can be remotely restarted from the current app (Live Stream > Gear Icon > Restart Device). The only workaround for viewing on a PC at this time is to use an Android emulator (Nox, BlueStacks) to run the Wyze app or TinyCam. To vote on asking Wyze to implement viewing on a PC, please vis…

Yes Rick I have tried the PC work arounds and none of them really “work”. Way too convoluted, we need a SIMPLE, user friendly, app that functions on a PC. Maybe just my opinion but I’m old, fat fingers, and a bunch of us oldsters are probably past the point of dumping our laptops for cell phones. A…

There will never be a remote restart that can work if the camera becomes completely hung up. For this situation, I would consider installing a smart switch between the camera power adapter and the wall socket. They can be obtained for under $10. However, if the local internet connection is the sour…

Rick, Not meant to challenge but why would there “never be a remote restart…”? Doesn’t seem like it should be that big of an issue to simply remotely disconnect the AC and then reconnect. I’m sure that you are probably right that it is technologically impossible but assuming that is the case, you …

Not “remotely disconnect the AC…” it is, of course 5v DC.

[image] Wyze App v2.0 Launched! That is why I recommend, for people with cameras in remote locations, to install a smart plug between the camera and the wall socket. They can be found for around $10. Here’s one example: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B076HKHSSX/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?i…

I use a power controlling device called an “Ambery IP-P3” it is a network and telephone (POTS) controlled power strip with 4 controllable outlets. I have my modem, router, cameras, and WAP plugged in to it and if network is up I can access via internet, but if the internet is down I can call it via …

Rick, Excellent explanation - makes complete sense. Your suggested solutions are also great - kicking myself for not having thought of the smart switch. We use a number of them in our home so I’m familiar with their operation and we will implement a couple both at the remote location and here as w…

With the right router, you can automate restarts. I have a TP-Link router. It allows me to set up an IFTTT account to monitor when devices connect and disconnect. When the camera quits working it would most likely be disconnected from the router when it stops responding long enough. I could set up…

… or for a smart plug that supports Siri (Apple HomeKit) as well, here’s one that I’m using: Wemo Mini Smart Plug
