Waiting for my first Wyze camera in the post. Question if I get a burglar alert from my outhouse on my Iphone 6 whilst I am asleep how do I hear it? Is there an alarm function so my phone wakes me and I can hear it?

Nothing in the app itself beyond the alert sound. If that’s not loud enough you could have IFTTT trigger a Siren I imagine. Keep in mind that technically these are not security cameras so they don’t have that capability built in.

Can your phone normally wake you if there is a call or text/notification? A notification would be the same unless your phone has the ability to manually control app notification sounds independent from the os. Welcome to the forums! Another thing to think about is do you have good wifi to connect…

The alert sound Wyze uses on the iPhone is the normal alert sound that dozens of news services (etc) also use. You can’t substitute it. So it’s just a quick beep, like a news alert coming in. Thus it is unlikely it will wake you, or even sound significant to you. It also won’t override the phone…

In my particular case my ouithouse is away from the house and the camera will be mounted indoors so no worries about passing clouds, or herds of sheep. I must say that I am dissapointed it cant do its primary funct…

I have cancelled this order because this camera - though it has many excellent features, it cannot do a basic function that many users will expect - wake you at night if there is an intruder. I think Wyzcam need to prioritise a solution to this ASAP.

People seem to get really caught up in the terminology. I don’t think it helps anyone honestly. It’s a camera. Use it for whatever purpose you want. There’s no separate alarm that it connects to, and it’s never been advertised that it does. It CAN send notifications to your phone. If you consider th…

“Use it for any purpose you want” except as a security camera.

Yes, if it doesn’t fit your “security” needs, it’s not a security camera. (Nor is it advertised to be one)

What happens when you get an alert from an outbuilding at night - can you hear it on your phone?
