Drop them like a prom dumpster baby.
Most recently they implemented their person detection, and many users are still having issues (see /r/wyze subreddit for plenty of input [reddit.com]).
I'm not expecting a whole lot from these cams, I just want to log in and review events, see a live view (pet cam), and check the front of the house when the Ring doorbell detects motion (ring faces one way, wyze faces the other). I understand these are not security/surveillance cams, but they shouldn't fail to give me a live view.
As of lately, I either can't get the app to work at all, or it only shows 1 of the cams, or events trigger a notification, but fail to show up in the app.
TL;DR - Wyze used to be great, and still can be - when it works. If you're wanting something a little more reliable, go for another brand. Wyze is struggling to keep up with the competition and as such is trying to "rush" features before they are ready and/or tested as they should be.

If you get it, don't expect it to be a long game reliable camera for search whenever like a security cam. The only reliable search function is popping the sd into a computer and searching use file explorer. I mainly use it for near real time detection and ptt.
The wyze plugs are pretty good though. Have no complaint on those besides cross compatibilities with other services

I've been a customer for a couple years and the only time I ever had a similar problem with an "ancient" SD card and old firmware. Upgraded both at same time, so don't know which resolved the issue.
