As a Wyze owner, I will say that they are doing a lot of bullshit lately.

The app changes really has a lot of issues, as you can see complaints on their forums.

Secondly, Cam Lite users were previously able to filter 'person' in the Events tab, but now they've "removed" it in an attempt to get people to pay for Cam Plus.

I had to revert to an older version of the app, install the apk, and then turn off App Updates to get this back.

Wyze are at that point were they are getting greedy and desperate to squeeze money out of their base, now that they've gotten some wider marketshare, to the point of doing some slimy tactics with pushing their subscription in subtle ways.

That's not how that works. It's not free. You getting cash back doesn't make something free, especially when you have to spend money to get any money back.
Its free for me... I would have spent the money and would have paid for the membership... But getting back $200 to $300 back from Costco annually covers my membership. Basically free membership on top of all the savings including gas and groceries for the house. To me it's a free membership because they could always remove the cash back, and at that point I will have to actually pay for the membership

Right. The cashback comes from inflated prices. Costco execs don't lose money. Every year everything gets more expensive. When i spent very little money at costco my cashback was very little. Membership was $50.

In for 2. Was looking for a deal to add a few more cameras to my Wyze setup and I needed to run to Microcenter anyways to get my free usb thumb drive from the mailer.

I'd argue the cashback covering, costco (and I love them btw) focus on impulse buying and bulk. Truth is, any savvy grocery shopper will realize better prices can be had at most grocery stores if you look at price per lb/Oz and seize the moment on sales.

I enjoy the costco experience and do shop there monthly, reupping our memberships after 18 month rotations to get the $45 gc is the best route if you can manage it.

also the plus membership is a credit card which is a credit pull. Depending on individual circumstances that pull (hard or soft) can cost big $ somewhere else - unrealized.

Yeah, it's BS. I and a bunch of others on the Wyze forum have been raising hell about it. Cri kets - I'm moving to Tapo.

Exactly! The app freezes up and is horrible now. It wasn't great before but it was much more user friendly. I won't be buying another Wyze device.
I am scared of the update my power button is still overlayed over the camera.

I can still filter by person with Cam Plus Lite in their latest iOS app

Sorry to you OP.

Wyze cams are absolute garbage value now compared to TP-link which offers a superior product with no subscription fees for person detection/etc. Tapo C120 takes a steaming dump all over this camera and can be had for just a couple more dollars. When you factor in needing a subscription for anything useful there's no price at which Wyze is attractive.
I completely agree. I have replaced all of my V3 cams with the Tapo C120s and the difference is night and day. I don't have to pay a monthly subscription just to have notifications. The people detection on the Tapo is significantly better than the Wyze. I had them both running for months to compare the two and 75% of the time when the Tapo detected a person in my backyard the Wyze detected nothing. Picture quality is also better on the Tapo. All of my V3 cams are going in the trash.

Thanks I want to move away from Wyze too for poor quality service. Can you share cam on tapo and do they get playback on share? On wyze shared cams can't view playback

Does their vac requires Vac+ subscription to run longer than 5 minutes?
It does not. But when Amazon services are down, it's not vacuuming either. The vacuum is probably the best Wyze product I have. The night vision on the v3's is also impressive. I still find the Eufy cams to be more solid. And if you want to quickly access a cam, it doesn't take forever to load the app and start a stream as it does with Wyze.

What cameras are currently compatible with Cam Plus Lite? Wyze Cam v1, v2 and v3, Wyze Cam Pan v1 and v2, and Wyze Cam Outdoor.
I highly recommend sticking with the older models for Cam Plus Lite...

How difficult was the app rollback for you to do?
