As the use of router-based VPN’s increase, it would be nice for the Battery Cam Pro (and all battery powered cameras for that matter) to work over a VPN.
All other wyze plug-in cameras (CamPan v2, CamPan v3, Video Doorbell v2, Cam Floodlight v2) work with no issue – except the battery-powered.
According to support, this is due to the ‘battery-saving features’ of the camera. My cameras are constantly charged via the Wyze solar panel, so I’m not really concerned about battery consumption.
Support also suggested excluding these cameras on my mesh Wifi7 router – except it only supports an ‘include’ list for VPN. I have several hundred items that work perfectly fine over VPN, so building this include list would take days.
Support also suggested I stand up a new guest router for these two cameras which is not desirable due to the cost and location of my cameras.
