Yea, highly recommend not use these to monitor your "science experiments" in your garage for recreational use type chemicals

Thanks OP. This is a good deal for a good camera - Price match alone will save on shipping that Wyze website charges. I know about the breach experienced by Wyze and I' m still using my Wyze gen 2 cameras (I also own ring door bell, Blink, Nest and Kasa cameras all of which i like and use in various locations).

You can always flash openip firmware on it if you're worried about that.

Have you done this? Just wondering if anyone has first hand experience with flashed version vs stock. Just want to monitor the dog, and living space when I am gone.

Pros/Cons. Starting a google now to at least understand the flash procedure. Just wanted some input from someone using it.

I haven't done it, but it's very simple. Here are user experiences by people who have done it.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16753913

Here is how:

https://github.com/openipcamera/openipc-firmware

Download this git repository.
Copy the contents of firmware_mod/v2/ to the root of your sdcard.
Set up Wifi in the SD card config folder wpa_supplicant.conf
Power off your camera, insert the SD card
Hold the setup button, plug in your USB cable, keep holding the setup button for 3-6 seconds
Once the light is solid blue, release the button and wait for 3-4 minutes. The camera will reboot and change light status during this time.
The camera will appear on your network with a mac address similar to this: C8:02:8F:10:03:FA
To access the web interface, visit the camera's IP address in your browser (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Username: dafang Password: ismart12
RTSP stream (when enabled), rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8554/unicast

I would get another black but one white i have since last summer today suddenly went dark. IR lights stopped working. One moment it was fine and then went dark. Nothing i tried worked . Only after deleting and connecting again lights came back on. It happened after todays fw update. My other cam is ok. Other issues parts of preview don't always load. Not so reliable anymore.
