LPT: Keep a “nail in the coffin” list to stop repeating the same mistakes

My Wyze cam pans from my front door, to my grocery list, and all the way to the back door. My 4’ wide x 6’ tall chalkboard grocery list is extremely legible from anywhere on earth, and bonus points because the list is grocery store shaped / grocery store fire map is directly above it. It’s like a sh

Maintenance stole my..

Tapo TP-Link 2K Pan/Tilt cam or WYZE Cam Pan v3. Amazon has the Tapo on sale for $25 right now. You'll need to get an SD card for continuous recording, but then you'll be able to view it all in the app. I would suggest setting it to not record sound, just in case you're in a 2-party state, where rec

Remove Wyze’s grasp on your cameras for free forever with Thingino!

The issue is that starting with the Wyze Cam 4, Wyze has deliberately locked cameras from being able to flash a different firmware. Unfortunately there is no known way to go around it at the moment.

Every wyzecam I own that can see outside, it talking to different internet locations

So you are saying that you have at least 1 v3 Pro indoors and at least 1 outdoors, an OG indoors and outdoors, v4 indoors and outdoors, and all the cameras upload motion events to the cloud, but only the outdoor versions access that address, and all the indoor cameras ignore it? Firmware version is

I'm absolutely done with Wyze. What is a good reliable alternative?

Just getting into Wyze cameras. Had the pan duo cam for around a month now, it sits on the wall outside my garage. Also a Wyze cam OG outside the front door. Both have been awesome. It’s never skipped or missed any movement, even at -20°C. I didn’t buy the subscription service and I didn’t even sign

Solar Power for Wyze Cam

It just won't work reliably. I've been playing with solar since the first Wyze cam was introduced. Solar panels work great on battery cams. Hardwired cameras have a MUCH larger power appetite so you need batteries in the system and a panel big enough to both power the camera and charge the batteries

Remove Wyze’s grasp on your cameras for free forever with Thingino!

This is awesome! I quit buying any new wyze cameras after the V3 because I was so annoyed by the forced ecosystem lock-in as well as how badly they treated the HomeAssistant 3rd party integration development project. I quit buying new wyze hardware since that (switched to Reolink in case anyone is w

Unrecognized Uber To My House on My Account

This is just a suggestion for inexpensive cameras that I've used for a couple of years now. WyZe makes a great indoor/outdoor camera that you can get for around $25. You can either put an SD card in it that will allow you to review anything from the previous 3 or 4 days or you can pay about $2.50 pe
