If you pay 2-4x more for the camera how is that free?
@dave27 - That Wyze Fanboi Kool-Aid is hard to kick, believe me I know but someday you may see the light 
Wyze Anonymous saved my life 
I’m well aware of all the “benefits” Reolink offers, I just found it funny that you didn’t give Reolink a free plug in the original post 
I in no way am a die hard Wyze devotee. There are plenty of things that could be improved. However before purchasing, I did my research, was aware of the limitations, and decided that for my needs, this was the price point and feature set that worked best for me, and so far I’ve been proven right, they are filling the needs I had and actually going well beyond what I expected.
If and when I decide to move onto a more expensive or advanced solution, I certainly won’t be sitting here posting about it in every thread, I have a bit more class than that, and that’s not saying much.
[MOD EDIT]
Hi, sorry if I was coming off as a little pissed off, but those threats are real to Wyze and their company, over the years I have bought a bunch of cameras for myself and for others as Christmas gift, no more ;). You don’t care because my comment was not for you
I just come here for the comments. 
Better drama than watching TV.

Okay @dave27 what is the post TITLE here?
Seems to me replying here is appropriate
My posts are my business and not yours anyway, are you a Wyze Moderator?
Like you did your research for deciding on Wyze so do others, if my comments help someone decide not to go with Wyze they serve a purpose to help with decisions.
Don’t like it too bad, now get back to your helping others

@spamoni, thanks for being a forum mod. Time for a Disney clip I think.
Another expert that can’t receive help. 8-Months and all is working great for us.
Wyze is a great company.
Wait! Don’t give up on Wyze just yet!
Next month Wyze will release the Wyze Paperclip and Wyze Stapler. Just ask some of the volunteer moderators (shills) about how lifechanging these new additions will be to the Wyze platform.
Never mind that every update will make your paperclip and stapler less functional—just think about the low annual fee you’ll pay for something that works less and less every day!
Don’t forget - anything you find useful about any Wyze product will be eliminated in the next update. So keep your mouth shut if you find something you like. Otherwise, it will disappear or you’ll be charged for it.
Wyze - ''Obsolescence is what we do best!"
There is no way for Wyze to make everyone happy. Some ppls give up too easy or not educated enough to be able to read the fourms and ask for help. They are to quick to say the Wyze sucks. Yes, in the beginning i had a few problems, but i figured them out. If wyze gave free service and payed ppls to use their cameras, there would be many more posts than they are now. I am satisfied with wyze but if i wasnt and hated everything so bad, i would move on and quit saying wyze is so terrible. There are no price point other cameras and service that doesn’t have their problems. So you must chose between them and pick the one you enjoy better and quit posting in these fourms if you just want be upset. Ask for help or move on.
I began getting notices from iPhone about State Farm accessing my data recently. I had never gotten the notices previously. This is something new ios system now does. I have to allow State Farm full access whenever I drive my car. I could toggle this permission on and off but choose not to. I only get the notices after I have driven the car. It is the same with the Wyze app. As for the frustration with app interfaces, I’ve had maddening experiences with many. It is miserable, indeed I abandoned a perfectly good Ring doorbell subscription because the desktop dashboard would suddenly require I log in again the second someone rang the doorbell! At least the Wyce community have helped me learn and troubleshoot when I’m at loss.
I, too, am frustrated with Wyze!
Wyze products are good and I have several. However, software is pathetic.
Been a Wyze customer since they first offered cameras.
In the beginning Wyze have a focus on customer satisfaction. There were few product offerings. Wyze has since significantly increased product offerings and I thought that was great… not so! They have apparently begun to focus on retail trade and less customer satisfaction concern. Software is released that is not ready and customer feedback seems to be ignored.
I have several wall plugs of first generation. If there was a power failure or interruption, they would lose wifi connection. The only way to get it back was to delete it and reinstall from scratch. Then… an update to Wyze app did not allow install of first generation plugs! With the help of this forum I found a workaround that included going to previous app version.
Camera motion detection sends alerts after the person have already come and gone!
The original PC app never worked for me. The latest version is better but still has flaws.
Every time I pull up Wyze app I am presented with an add to upgrade to CamPlus unlimited… very annoying! Why should I upgrade when software presents so many problems???
Even though I was dissatisfied with Wyze and decided not to buy any more of their products I was tempted to buy a heavily discounted Robot Vac. The vac does a great job! However, setup instructions were lacking… had to go to ai chat app to figure it out. The no-go zone size is not custom sizeable. It only works for objects on outer perimeter of room. I have a couch and chair that are in the center of room that vac gets caught under and must put pillows in front of to keep vac from getting stuck. There is an icon on the “zone”" to rotate it but it is not functional. Resizing is supposed to be done with two-finger stretch/shrink but it doesn’t work for me… just another software lacking for a very good product.
In summary, I won’t be buying another Wyze product as it seems they are no longer a customer oriented company but like so many other businesses that have forgotten about customer satisfaction. It is my belief that Wyze has grown too big, too fast and new and old products are not supported by a software group that is talented enough to keep up! Just look at all the posts about customer complaints without any Wyze responses/solutions.
I absolutely HATE the latest update to the app! Tons of advertising in your face, cumbersome and annoying app changes, and worst of all, at the end of every video the screen goes black to say Wyze and the cam version in white. I don’t want to be throwing away valuable resources on your damned advertising! Get rid of the black screen at the end of every video! I paid for security cameras to record security videos, NOT FOR YOUR ADVERTISING!
It also has the most annoying notification sound I have ever heard, not the sound you select for your system-wide notifications. I wasted a lot of time changing it back. Also, it sends notifications for every little thing including multiple times a day for their ads! I am unable to turn off notifications for a specific camera like I could with the older version of the app. Sadly, I have a lot of Wyze cameras which means I was getting that annoying notification sound every few minutes! I finally had to turn off notifications for the entire app which kind of defeats the purpose of having security cameras to notify you of problems and makes the whole bunch of them useless to me now.
Please let us download and install older versions of the app as this one is horrific to use! In fact, it’s so bad that I am returning the three Wyze cams I purchased at Christmas and will literally just throw away the ones I already have.
If I have paid for your cameras and your monthly subscription, I should not have all of this advertising rammed down my throat 24/7! All you’re really advertising is your greed and incompetence by doing this. It’s like you’re screaming at your customers “Hey, look at us and how annoying we can be!”
The current version of the app is their worst one yet. You really should fire your app developers, they’re basically just getting paid to do busy work and making everything much worse. If it isn’t broken, don’t try to fix it! They stopped making actual improvements long ago. The app is a joke now and a lesson in how NOT to develop an app. OMG, what a dumpster fire of an app!
Check one of the APK mirror websites for the older app version if on Android.
Search the website for the version you want
https://apkpure.com/wyze-make-your-home-smarter/com.hualai/download/2.50.9.512
Scroll down to “Fast Download” don’t hit install as that is an ad
in2blue - before you “throw away the ones you already have,” let me know and I’ll pay the shipping if you will ship me the cameras. Seriously. Thanks in advance.
