I’ve had a Wyze Cam 2, and a Wyze Cam 3, stolen in different locations. Both times, they’ve been deleted from my Wyze app, including the event history. The camera’s were quite high, and someone with a ladder would have had to get it. This would have been ample time to upload it to the cloud. But now…

I keep forgetting the other cams are not like the 4 WCO that I have in which they would also need to delete them from the my account as you said. I just have one V3 mounted with screws to the house siding. I did take a screen shot of the device info from the app that a least has the MAC address whi…

That’s a pretty terrible security flaw. Cameras that have been activated on an account should not be able to be reactivated on a different account without first being removed from the account they are on. Otherwise, there’s no point in cloud recording, if the thief can just steal the camera and acti…

Well I’m mystified. Thought that under no circumstances could a stolen camera could be used to affect cloud recordings - how would that even work? I heard that the WCOs had theft deactivation for a while - not letting you reassign a MAC address to a new account unless the old one relinquished it -…

[image] Customer: Well I’m mystified. Thought that under no circumstances could a stolen camera could be used to affect cloud recordings - how would that even work? You are right. Once a clip is uploaded to the cloud it is attached to the account and released from the device. So the clip wi…

This also happened to me and I was shocked to learn that anyone can activate a Wyze camera to their account. Once they do that, all your data is deleted. I would say that the engineers should create a system where you must use a log in or code to activate your cameras. That way no one would want t…

Jason reported that Wyze fixed this issue two years ago*. Is it really still happening? [image] Stolen wyzecam - cannot look at event history Cameras So in that thread Loki says once a camera is stolen and re-registered, all cloud event clips from it are gone - crazy, I …

Hmm You could test it if you had 2 accounts and a spare camera. I have a spare camera, but I don’t have an extra device to install a second account on.

If all this is true, that events get deleted, all the more reason to have them stored locally on some storage device other than the cloud.

This wishlist item still says ‘researching’? Has that been awhile? Anyone tested this? Outdoor cams already do this, right? [image] Require existing account to release camera before it can be set up on new account Probably Not Currently, if a camera is stolen, the thie…

I created a separate Wyze account using a new email address and added one of my Cam v2s. The old account still show historical data, but it’s now listed as an unknown device. Before and after screenshots below. [Screenshot_20211228-100241~3]
