Any way to just use older tablet to simply monitor my old v2 cameras?? Don’t need newer stuff…just monitor my older cams. Thank you.

I imagine that would be possible, depending on the version of Android the tablet runs. If you can’t install the Wyze app from Google Play Store (because of OS version requirements in recent versions of the Wyze app), then you could try downloading and installing an older version of the Wyze app fro…

[image] Crease: downloading and installing an older version of the Wyze app from a source like APKMirror. I think that’s probably the approach I would take if trying to repurpose an older tablet like that. That’s exactly what I’ve done on an old Android 8 device. The catch is we don’t know h…

@grapefruityoda , so they went backwards? When I first read your comment, I was thinking back to the April announcement: [image] Important Wyze app Information - 4/26/24 What will be affected? Wyze app 2.44 and below Now you’re saying an app version before v2.44 does work? :confused: @ano…

What version are you running? Once you install the apk, you should be able to go into play store and update it to the latest 2.50.9 (512)

Yes, they changed it. I remember testing it in late May 2024 where you needed to be on v2.45 or newer to login to the Android Wyze app. Last month I tested it again here and verified that v2.40 is the earliest version you can login to Wyze app. I tested it again yesterday and I can confirm v2.40 is…
