View On PC/Browser (Windows / Mac / Chromebook)

if your using a PC you can download a Android emulator. I use Bluestacks.com Then using blue go to play store and download Wyze. There you can which between Portrait and landscape. But Blue is slow and sloppy… Wyze cant seem to make a PC platform and Its costing them business. I have steered A lot of ppl away from wyze BC of this very fact… P.S. Wyze could care less…

Bluestacks, like all Android versions, just runs the Wyze app. The main screen is still portrsit. Live camera views can be in landscape.

I doubt it’s that they don’t care. It’s more likely that it’s just logistically more difficult.

Yes, it is more difficult to do it that to not do it. :slight_smile:

I’ve been a wyze user for a while now… and i’ve forgotten that this was a problem and remember by trying to view again several times…I find it kinda crazy they don’t have a solution for viewing from a Mac or PC yet.

Holy crap!!!
H*ll is about to freeze over!!!

From the Reddit AMA today!!!

We will have Wyze camera viewing through desktop this year. As for being able to arm and disarm your Wyze Home Monitoring from the desktop, this is on our roadmap, but we don’t yet have a timeline for it. For those users using a new M1 Mac, you can access the Wyze app on desktop right now.

Holy smokes! Is this for real?

Unfortunately, coming from Wyze, this doesn’t mean much.

Angus, obviously you have more ammunition than you need to play devils advocate

Yes!!

Note that they clarified it is through a browser and not a desktop app.

I seem to recall it was on the roadmap before, or is old age setting in.

It’s been on the roadmap for a while, they need to stop making new [Mod Edit] and fix/ enhance what they got.

Such a Great Idea!! Hope to see this soon as I am Also trying to put up one of my Ideas!! I know upon my delivery I was discouraged to find that the Doorbell camera does not work in my Apartment Peep Hole. I would love it if Wyze would come out with one that would be the same size as the Doorbell Camera but
to be Hidden inside the Peep Hole for only the owner to know its there. Of course it will need to be wireless and fully functional on wifi. It is the size of a normal apartment peep hole and the peep hole only has a hand pressed bell installed so it is not wired connection. I hope that this was enough description but I am able to describe more if needed. Thank you for reading my request Be safe all Any suggestions to my Idea also Welcome Thank you

Yes!! Thanks for the update!

Great to hear that this is coming soon (curious as to what the Wyze definition of ‘soon’ is),

That said, I’m curious if when I receive a notification on my iPad in LANDSCAPE mode that motion was detected (or portrait mode), and I tap on the notification (that normally takes me to the WYZE app that doesn’t work so well in LANSCAPE Mode), if there is a means to make the notification tap take me directly to the web page URL in my default browser on my iPad, or iPhone, or Android Tablet or Android phone.

I’m going to guess that’s not a possibility, and I’ll just have to continue to wait "patiently’ for Wyze App 3.x to fix the Wyze App issue where LANDSCAPE doesn’t work on iPads/Android Tablets.

Coming soon has been a claim of Wyze since 2017. Please clarify.

I am certain if this is coming soon it will be one of those things you have to pay for. I have been phasing the unreliable Wyze system out. Sucks I have so many cams I have to phase out. This started off as a great alterative way to set up cams instantly with no wire, but its been ruined with cash grabbing option that used to be standard. Over all I am at a point I would not recommend the wyze system to anyone until they make this work like a true camera security system. I know this WILL NEVER HAPPEN because it entails a full time monitor to be display any set amount of cams. And that’s what separates this from a real security camera system.

FYI I have several thousand worth of useless wyze gear thanks to updates that seem to ruin things, I am sure their is a bigger fish out there, and my patronage means absolutely nothing. As an admin I am certain you can verify my claims if you care to do so…

If this happens this will be another “Game Changer” for Wyze

Honeywell will be upset once again…LOL
Honeywell’s original IP-Cams I had could be viewed on your smartphone and PC,
they tried to sue Wyze and lost :slight_smile:
So this will be great to have and be another smack in Honeywell’s Face :slight_smile:
