You’ve never sat in on a meeting with a bunch of IT folks.

Lol, I have not.

I have collaborated with a few of the mod/maven volunteers chosen by Wyze staff to run the forum and they’re delightfully candid, selfless and cooperative. Outliers, I guess. Wyze staff are good choosers!

This gentleman is a good Joe as well:

@Frederik

The thing is, we are being asked to open the system up and down, left and right but I have not seen a single product on the market that offers that level of flexibility or that went to the level of effort to provide information and made changes to reassure users that we are taking privacy extremely seriously. We even bet the company by not accepting a round of investment that would have not favorably served our customers.

If beyond that you still feel that Wyze is too “unsecure” for you, then this your own decision and there is not much we can do or say that would change your mind and Wyze might not be the camera for you.
In this case, I wish you good luck in finding a commercial residential product that would offer you that level of security related feature. If you know one, please let me know as I would be very interested to learn about it.

The forum regulars are mostly rugged individualists who don’t suffer fools gladly but they’re open to challenge in the common search for the truth of the matter.
