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.

I don't get the hate for the Wyze app, it works seamlessly compared to the Eufy app. Its a PITA going through the setting to turn the Eufy cams on/off all the time.

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.
I'll take those v3's if you're getting rid of them. I believe those are the only ones being able to be flashed with the rtsp firmware.
I did already buy some Tapos as well just not a fan of the 9v input.

Ouch just bought a 2 pack of these v4's on amazon for 65$. I had a bunch of V2's and for sure can tell picture quality is great w/ 2k resolution.

I agree the app and subscription isnt the best, but over all its a pretty cheap and easy solution. I have 4 outside cameras w/ cam+ subscription and 2 indoor ones to watch my pet. Over all has been solid on my side.

Also love the web version live view. I use a 3rd monitor and just full screen all the 4 cameras outside so I can constantly watch while I'm on my computer.

What is up with this bootlicking mentality?

There is nothing about person/vehicle/any sort of detection that requires cloud services. WYZE is intentionally gating local functionality to get people to pay for a subscription. If other companies have found a way to be profitable while selling equipment that does it without a subscription (and way better, IMO), WYZE deserves to go BK and disappear.
Who gives you person/vehicle/pet detection for free for under $30?

Better to pony up for the C120 at 2 for 29.99. Solves the usb problem and they're outdoor rated too.

I do have one gripe with all of these cameras and it's that the audio quality is still pretty awful, but I have little use for it, so nbd in my case.
Tapo C120 at 2 for $30 sounds good. Where?

These cameras have a bug where you cannot record footage locally from SD cards on Android, which means if you playback an event you'll have to pull the SD to make a copy of it. The bug has been on the forums for months with no acknowledgment by wyze. Tech support has no fix. I have multiple Wyze cameras but recently connectivity, detection, and reliability have turned to crap.

I only have one camera I have the latest update.
First make sure the camera is shown in the favorites page. If you don't see the ON/OFF button, you don't have the latest app version, v3.2.2(586). There's a new one posted today but still not in Google Play store.

I hate Wyze's latest app update. There used to be a button to turn the camera on and off easily. Now you have to navigate to do it and the new app update freezes quite a bit.
Yep, they made subscription even more expensive and removed good features. I really hope this is not the downfall of Wyze. Still using v3 cameras and loving them with grandfathered subscription. When they go I'll be switching to Eufy.

We have two V3s set up while we're overseas long term. They're really a toy, they pick up flashes of light and there's no way to avoid it, but the bigger issue is they are often somehow turned off when I check them after a while, and the record feature often is blank so I can't look back at the history.

I use mine for very simple things like monitoring a 3d printer etc. I like this brand more than blink and I've been waiting on a good sale.

But we don't have microcenter and I don't have Costco either lol. Oh well.
Maybe you can try PM somewhere.

I don't like the interface of the v4s at all when reviewing back footage on the SD card. It's the same interface as the cam pan. Much prefer the v3 for that. Otherwise I would happily upgrade my cams.
