The first week of November is when I started using Wyze.
Bought a new camera. Installed perfectly and worked like a charm! It prompted me to update firmware but I ignored it. Was happy.
Bought another camera. Installed perfectly. It prompted me to update firmware. Was hesitant but I did. Big mistake. Bricked my camera with the infamous solid yellow light of death. I returned the camera and got my money back.
A week goes by. No issues with the first camera. In fact I was getting too many notifications as it picked up every single little motion/noise. But it was working!
Stupid me decides to update the firmware. Why I don’t know! No way lightning can strike twice right? wrong! Bricked the camera! I tried resinstalling the firmware, reflashing, resetting, etc. Nothing. I returned the camera and got my money back.
Third times the charm so I bought one more brand new camera. Installed fine. In fact the second I installed it I received a push notification that a sound was detected. I was happy thinking I got one that worked. WRONG! That was the one and only notification ever received. Nothing since then. Again it keeps asking me to update the firmware but I refuse to. I also notice that it is not recording events but for right now I am fine with being able to view live cameras.
So the moral of the story is Wyze is like a box of chocolates… you don’[t know what crap you are getting until you bite into one.
