Thanks. I knew something wasn’t right from looking through the manifest file.
Not that simple dude. I am a native developer, it’s not as easy as swapping hex codes. It’s also a lot of work for a brand stand point.

Exactly! If it was that simple they would have done it already.
Yeah, well they have no problem bloating it with new products and subsequent software features.
It has been requested for quite some time. Had Wyze thought it important, the app would have recieved the attention it deserves.
It’s more like they dug themselves a hole.
The re-do is WAY overdue especially considering both volume of sales and variety of devices.
Now they are fishing for additional funds… Let’s hope they don’t get swallowed, redirected and then put out of business like so many who have come before.
The volume of orphaned “connected” (now “disconnected”) devices from other, larger, more widely know companies is depressing. Yeah, I own a bunch. @AustinByr please consider my words as helpful constructive criticism, and please get this thing moving
That’s one thing I learn after setting up security cameras around my house. I’ve been looking at one tonight that is glowing white while it’s night, kind of bouncing around. It’s really annoying. They build their webs right in front of your lens. I guess right in front because the 2 IR lights are glowing Red on my Cameras.
Yup, @victormaletic is spot on, the IR lights on any brand of outdoor camera will attract insects, which attract spiders, which attract brooms… 
Simple solution - broom
Professional solution - mount a separate IR illuminatior away from the cam and turn the IR on the cam OFF.

Please share how you were able to use your camera outside. That’swhat I want. I am going too buy more 
.
You have to place them in an area well under or near or under roofline or cover commonly known as Eves of a House. Where rain and windy rain won’t reach.
Running the new aftermarket 26’ USB cord ( Amazon 3pk for 11.99) from Camera to power source is dependent upon where you choose your camera location.
I used a 1/2” drill bit to drill into enclosed eves and then a flexi-bit from attic to a designated power source receptacle that can carry up to 14 camera load.
It sounds complicated but it you know a single electrician in friends and family then they know exactly what you need and want. It’s likely if you have an attic light then tapping off that for a boxed receptacle would atleast handle 6 cameras as is.
Hang camera upside down, and flip the image in the app for correction. Mounting on the siding surface of the house limits your field of view and I’d suggest getting a wall mount adapter for that idea to work.
Seal all holes you drill with exterior grade caulking.

You’re welcome!
I worked for a tech company in the 90s and still can’t figure out how new companies can burn through that much capital. Gold plated toilets and $1,000 desk chairs?
I wish Wyze continued success as a market leader.
