Wyze app update - Released 9/9/2024

This is all I see on a V3:

Wait couple of days and Wyze will release a hot fix :laughing:

I’m done with updates :grin:

I don’t blame you. It’s like playing lottery, you’ll never win :laughing:

I have it, but I’d like to do exactly what it has to do with focusing being smart.

If you turn it on and walk in front of the camera you will get two views. One the larger view and a second smaller view (picture in picture) with a closer up view, I’ve played with it on my V3 Pro and V4. As far as I know it only works in live view unless they change something.
Looks like this

My camera group experience seems less robust (mix of cam v2s and v3s) than prior version. This after a couple of days of observing casually. If they must tweak connectivity generally to match the needs of multiple cam types each with their particular connectivity needs, well, hard job, perhaps. If one cam type has to suffer for the improved performance of another, would you favor the cam with the most users (even if old and slowly expiring) or would you favor your up-and-comers? I donno.

This release also brings Smart Focus to SD playback for v4 events (both Events only and Continuous recording). I found that it’s currently working only for Person events on SD playback in limited fashion. Your results may differ. :grin:

I’ll check out the V4 and see if I have anything to view.

I just rechecked a few of my v4 cards in-cam. It works for Person, but not always.

I get a significantly better user experience on Android app v2.50.9.512 with my V3 cameras (cameras I only have) compared to v3.1.0.564. It streams much faster and there are no issues with recording a clip. According to @K6CCC and @smellslikeMI, the V3 recording clip issue could be an Android only issue.

It seems they are preferring newer ones. My v3 and v3 pros got much better, my v2s and cam pan seem worse.

It does work but. I recorded the video from SD playback but it doesn’t show the picture in picture on the iPad on the saved video? Maybe the iPad can’t do that? or I have to record the screen.


I don’t know. I checked only Android.

Ohh that, ok thanks. Thats what they started with in the cams you could stick together. That really isn’t focus, but zoom. No wonder I was confused.

I’ve followed this with interest because I never knew what it was for, not sure do I now. :joy:

It seems to work on my V4s live and SD.

Now someone tell me where & how I’d use it. I’m old and slow to comprehend.:grin:

In all honesty, I personally find it useless. It’s more of a vanity than a useful thing. I’ve turned it off as it doesn’t work as someone has envisioned it. We are talking a small phone/tablet screen. This thing would work fine if we had an actual computer app that takes adavnatage of a big monitor. Just my two Canadaian cents :slight_smile:

You can see all ypur cams on a computer screen, but I don’t know if that feature works on one. I turned mine on but don’t know how to make it zoom in.

I don’t use my computer for cameras viewing, Just the app and phone or tablet.
Maybe I’ll log in though and see what cameras looks like on a PC. I could leave it logged in I guess if Wyze allows that. Might be handy…

First I tried it. It’s definitely neat, but I’ll hope for more feedback on usefulness for security in particular.
With inflation down here, I’ll say that’s just my 10 US cents. :laughing: Doesn’t work on possum’s at night.
