Wyze product updates - 02-17-2020

Thanks for your patience, everyone!

I’m about to do a fairly lengthy response where I try to field anything that didn’t seem otherwise covered. :slight_smile:

@jls4wheeler, thanks for your support! I’ll answer the questions I can answer but some of them aren’t being talked about publicly yet. We keep cards fairly close to the chest until we’re about to launch products. :slight_smile:

  1. Will the Outdoor Cam have person detection?

It will! Though if the outdoor camera launches first, it won’t have person detection right at the beginning. :slight_smile:

  1. If you choose to plug in the Outdoor Cam can it record to a Micro SD card?

Yes, you can use microSD cards with the outdoor cameras.

  1. Will their be a Micro SD card slot in the Hub for the Outdoor Cameras to record to?

Not answering this yet.

  1. Will Wyze Cam v2s be able to connect to the Outdoor Cam’s Hub?

Not answering this yet.

  1. Now that I know the Video Doorbell will be wired… Are you guys working on a Battery Powered Video Doorbell or planning on working on one in the future?

This is something we are currently looking into.

  1. What is the picture resolution on the Video Doorbell cam?

Not answering this yet.

  1. What is the picture resolution on the Outdoor Cam?

Not answering this yet.

The smart band has a screen. It wouldn’t be great for streaming video but you can use Shortcuts and Alexa for doing tasks like turning on or off your light bulbs. Additionally, it has some activity metric stuff and will tell you the date and weather. I personally think it’s pretty snazzy.

@Kev42786, we’re happy that you’re interested in the products! We aren’t going to show photos of them yet. That tends to happen closer to launch (like with providing specs and features).

@SeriouslyNotADragon, Frederik already covered the issues with the smart band. But for the doorbell, we are looking into a wireless one! It just won’t be a hybrid with the wired version.

@handycomputerman, have you checked out this page? :wink:

@njones88, I’m interested in learning more about the Heart Rate Variability metric! I’m not sure if that’s something we can/would add but it sounds cool. :slight_smile:

@L4nyc, we’re making progress on the thermostat but don’t have public timelines yet. I don’t know if it will have a remote temperature sensor but that would be sweet!

@raffiearabian, I’m not sure when the work will be completed but we are making progress on the changes that could lead to viewing Wyze Cams through the Google Home app instead of only on Google Assistant enabled devices like Chromecasts.

@alatony, we are looking into security systems but aren’t making promises or giving details yet.

@Psinergy, we do have an RTSP version but it would need flashed. RTSP is a bit too large to fit on the cameras with all of the other features and that’s why it was made a separate firmware branch. We’re staying open to opportunities for that in the future, though. :slight_smile:

@Shannondm1, we would need to have a separate FireOS version of the Wyze app to have it natively on Fire tablets and we aren’t going that direction at this point. But we are working on our version of person detection and will have it ready for you as soon as we can.

@duncancheg, the scale launch in March would be for EA and not the full launch.

@ThaDentist, sorry for the disappointment with the delays for the outdoor camera and person detection! We ARE aiming for our version of person detection to be improved from the XNOR version. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on it later. :slight_smile:

WHEW! Thanks, everyone! :smiley:
