It is. And that's correct. This deal has been on and off since the beginning of this month. I got one. Floodlight works very well actually.
If anyone is on the fence about buying it, starting February 12th you will no longer get free 12 second recording to the their cloud unless you pay for it. If you buy before then, you can opt in for free with any Wyze camera you have.
Use local SD storage and it's unlimited. You know of any cam that gives you unlimited cloud storage for free?
I'm skipping Wyze now, I don't really trust them to support these fully into the future. I am not looking to change security cameras often as they take features away.

As long as I opt in to Cam Plus Lite before 2/12/22 with my Wyze account I can add future cams to my registered email to use the 12 sec cloud recording and person detection features?

Correct. I have the Nest Hello as well. But note, you can't scroll back in time in the videos like you can with Nest. You have to manually stop at a point you want to see back in the recording.

If I were you, I'd just suck it up and get another Nest cam, since you're already paying for unlimited Nest aware plan, take advantage of it. I'm still on the old plan and don't have unlimited so I cheaped out and bought this.

Yea I'm thinking about that. I'm also considering changing from Nest Doorbell to Waze doorbell if these work well. I should be able to access these cams from the Google Home app, so that's the main integration I want.

And doorbell + three cams is still about the same price as one Nest Cam. Plus the monthly fee for Nest aware and CamPlus is similar. Lots to consider!

Anyone here successfully use this with Blue Iris?
Yep. It's a real pain and I forget the exact settings, but it does work. There was a Blue Iris bug that made the program force quit ~3 seconds after opening if a Wyze cam that was added to Blue Iris had sound on. Super annoying and unsure if they fixed, but if you disable sound for the cam(s) in the Wyze app, it works fine.

First four are just motion detection. Web view? just run it off your phone or tablet if you need continuous viewing.

Whining about ongoing services, that you don't THINK you should pay for, with a budget camera, is insane.
Companies can't be immune from complaints about cloud service charges and also gimp the devices for local LAN use. Can't talk out of both sides of your mouth.

I'm all for Wyze charging whatever they want for cloud service. But if they gimp the camera in order to pressure you into the cloud service, then I'm for sure going to complain about it. RTSP is easy, and should be FULLY functional. So is a local webserver for commissioning the camera onto your network. They force you to pay for the camera but rely on them / give them app information in order to use the hardware that you purchase, even if your use doesn't rely on their cloud service.

Yes, other companies do that too. And I'll whine about those other companies too. I'm an equal opportunity whiner, bringing good points about poor company policies. If you're happy with the limitations, good for you. The rest of us are just more sophisticated.

I don't have an outside outlet near where I want to mount it. But I do have a bulb socket. So I bought this adapter.

Or you can buy the office wyze one but it won't ship until March. It can turn your bulb into a smart bulb. But note, it won't work with the spotlight too.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1

I bought both to try.
Doesn't the socket have a wall switch that controls the socket? So you can just use a wifi/zigbee/zwave wall switch right?

They all seem to have gone up in price. I bought the V3 with CamPlus instead for under 30, it's now $42

I just leave my wall swtich on 24/7. I have a dusk to dawn bulb connected to the wall switch that turns off and on automatically anyway.

You have to install the RTSP firmware first. Then yes it works. It doesn't have substreams like my Reolink RLC-520's but it also costs half as much and works wirelessly. I have several that cover large areas and the Reoinks cover specific areas.

How well does RTSP work? Can you completely firewall the camera off from internet? Can you control the LED light, IR LED, and IR filter completely locally? I'm assuming you'd still need to use their app to set the wifi SSID and password?

It is not whine if you make valid points! I agree and hate that everything is moving in the direction of subscription services. When tied to hardware it seems a poor model to pay anything at all for the devices. You're right that it is not just WYZE and not just this market segment.

We don't often realize it, but most of our devices today are just bricks if the companies behind them decide to turn off their cloud services. We're basically paying for a ticket to shop in their mall. The free stuff they provide could vanish at any moment. Most customers can't handle or don't want to deal with stand alone device configuration though (Eg. Older IP Cams), that is why we are were we are with all of this.

WYZE has not handled their issues gracefully. But existing customers they've been transparent about it. Essentially they undercut themselves trying to disrupt the market and can't provide the same level of support as others. I assume COVID supply china supply chain has also hurt their hardware costs lately. I consider them a forever Kickstarter here to disrupt. Perhaps why others are dropping to compete.

That said, seems like many of you think eufy is the main competition here, but no one has spelled it out plainly. From a guy who doesn't have time to research thoroughly what are the best cost/feature alternatives currently?
