Battery life up to 6 months, but will only last around 2 weeks if recording continuously.
Can person detection be used as a trigger for automation in alexa's app?

I fully charged them, did the update's, installed an sd card, set it to record to sd card, changed the quality to 2k and even got the cam unlimited plan.
The bitrate and compression is so bad I couldn't make my own face out from 5 ft away.
These cameras look great when live viewing them, but the recorded quality is worse than 480p.
- definitely don't use it indoors (look into the recent privacy issues they've had, more than once).
- their integration with other services is non-existent and they don't support RTSP
- No direct home assistant integration
- if you want to tinker with them like I tried and make RTSP work, it's not reliable (Wyze RTSP bridge) or has potential to brick the camera (custom firmware to add RTSP), so I still haven't been able to get them on home assistant.
- they generally push you to pay for cloud storage (ads and buttons that will take you to it in the app)
- I added them to Google home but the feed won't show up on my phone for my Google hub.
- they send push notification ads every so often, super annoying (same channel as normal app notifications so you can't block them on android at least)
- The SD card option is nice, but the recordings are only accessible through their own app, so there's no easy way to directly view on a larger screen.
- you can clip and share the video but that's a multi-step process which shouldn't be necessary
I would rather pay more once and have have less but better and more reliable cameras, like reolink or some other IP camera.For reference, I own 8 of these.

edit. I think I used 4 100 lbs magnets for my 20ish lbs sign.
