Viewing Camera With Shared Person

[Crease]

Welcome to the Forum, @geri-hyde-2! You’re asking the questions in the right place.

@geri-hyde-2

But is there a reason why when I share access to the camera with my husband he can only view it live and not the history?

Yes.

@geri-hyde-2

Or is there a setting I or he is missing in our apps to be able to enable this for him?

No.

@geri-hyde-2

Is this possibly something that is in the works for a later update?

I wish I knew the answer to that!

@geri-hyde-2

Or do I now have to pay just so he can view the history as well?

Nope. The thing a lot of users seem to do in this situation is share credentials. In other words, your husband would log into the Wyze app on his phone or other mobile device using your Wyze account (your username and password). Currently that’s the only way of which I’m aware for him to have this same “device owner” level of access that you have (presumably the camera was added and set up under your account).

There’s a Wishlist item related to this and many other issues specific to sharing device access with other users:

Multiple Users' Permissions for Shared Users

So we have multiple camera’s set up at our house. My wife and I both have the app and I shared the camera with her. The problem we run into is that I want to give her full access to control settings also, but there is no permissions list for users who have access to the camera. Every time one person wants to change the settings, increase sensitivity, turn off notifications etc, you have to call/text the other person to change the settings. We use them for security and as a baby monitor so set…

I think it’s helpful to the community (and hopefully any Wyze employees tracking it) to add your comments and use case ideas to that topic, and definitely Vote for it by tapping or clicking the button above the first post.
