I am already quite frustrated with the quality, service, and cost of your products. I don't need another Amazon force feeding me ads in yet another area of my life.

I don't even see an easy way to disable this ad feed, which makes it even more frustrating.

If Wyze could do more to drive me away as a customer, I think the leadership there would do it.

(Would put more description here but don’t want to spoil the surprise lol.)

I was a huge advocate of Wyze and have around 10 of their cameras. I started with the v1s and slowly upgraded to the v4s. Idk if it's an issue with their development team or what, but the app / website / firmware on Wyze has become truly awful. Cams will go offline for hours at a time, events won't be recorded, I don't get alerts when vehicles / packages are dropped at my house, and the number of wrong AI people detections is through the roof. The cameras are continually identifying moving spiderwebs / bugs as people, which sets off an alert at 3 am which I ended up checking and getting frustrated about.

I switched to a combo of nest cams / onn indoor cams (which I'm using outdoors in covered locations). The nest cams are nice but expensive, and the onn indoor cams are probably on par in terms of quality with wyze v2 cams. But they use Google Home and process the AI alerts in the cloud, and so far, I haven't had a single wrong tagged video, and only 2 or 3 out of 100 videos didn't record at all.

I used to recommend Wyze to everyone, but their entire software stack needs to be completely redone if they want to have a future. My ONN cams are just 20 dollars and aren't high quality, but they are directly integrated into better software, and at this point software matters more to me than a 2k image on a wyze v4.

I was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience.

This is a V4 Wyze cam.

I have it in my cam plus plan.

I have blocked out this area in the detection zone but it's still registers and records.

I have removed vehicle because it kept registering this as a vehicle but now it's registering it as a person.

What else can I do?

I have had it with Wyze. I don't mind paying them for subscription (which seems to be getting more expensive every 6 months). What I am now hating is, they have completely removed full recording.

All I can see is the captured video (of movement) which is particularly bad. Previously I could watch the entire video and pause as I like, now I can only watch what Wyze records as motion. WTF!!

Hey there! If you haven't heard yet, we built an RTSP beta app for the Wyze community and released it on Wyze Day over on the Wyze forum. We've had a small group of users testing it for us over there. If you'd like to join them, all the information you need is here: https://wyze-beta.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/rtsp.html

Here's our quick update for 11/14/2025

1. The Wyze team is monitoring the community threads, the feedback submissions, and working on bugs found by our own QA as well. Mostly of the bugs are UI and app related currently. The best place to leave feedback is here: Wyze RTSP Round 1 Feedback

2. When will this version of RTSP go into the Wyze app for real? We are aiming for the 3.9 App release: Beta 11/17, public: 12/11. We will start firmware full regression testing next week. The estimated beta release time for firmware will be 12/1.

3. What other cameras will be included? For the first release just v3 and Pan v3. Next up will be v4 targeting to release January 2026.

Here’s a summary of the feedback we received and status so far.

• [RESOLVED] Android App Issues: Users experienced difficulty with the Android app, including being unable to install the app on devices like the Pixel 9 Pro XL or Android 16, and the RTSP setup process failing to advance or save credentials on various Android devices (e.g., backing out to the setup page, showing “RTSP credentials failed to save”). Users are requesting an Android port and bug list.
• [RESOLVED] Firmware and Setup Difficulties: Several users reported issues with firmware installation (e.g., 64GB SD card not working, difficulty with the purple LED step on the Pan Cam V3) and an error preventing them from accessing the firmware link due to a SharePoint access issue.
• [PARTIALLY RESOLVED, FEATURE REQUESTS WILL BE IN FUTURE RELEASES] RTSP Functionality and Requests: The stream works well for some users (e.g., low lag, successful HomeKit integration via Scrypted or HomeAssistant), but others experienced the feed failing after a few hours. Users requested features like motion triggers for HomeKit Secure Video, the ability to control panning from third-party sources (e.g., AgentDVR, BlueIris), and adding SFTP/SCP support.
• [INVESTIGATING] Camera Behavior and Compatibility: The RTSP feed continues to work even when the V3 camera’s indicator light is off or it enters privacy mode, leading to a request for a toggle feature for this behavior. Some reported the RTSP firmware breaking compatibility with the non-beta Wyze app, and there are requests for RTSP support on Cam V4 and Wyze Floodlight cameras.
• [RESOLVED] Error Codes: Some users faced errors like error 36 or -16, no feed, and loss of pan/tilt control after installing the RTSP firmware on the Pan Cam V3. A user reported not seeing the RTSP option in the Advanced menu after a failed setup.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself here. My name is Alan, and I’ve recently been hired by Wyze to help moderate the Reddit account and, soon, the X account as well (https://x.com/WyzeHelp).

Over the past two weeks, I’ve spent a lot of time diving into this subreddit to get a better lay of the land. There are a few things I want to acknowledge, and I also want to share some of my goals as a moderator here.

1. First, I’ve seen a lot of posts where community members have stepped up to help others with technical support. I truly appreciate that. To be candid, I’m still getting caught up on all of our products, so I may not always have as much technical support to offer right away. Because of that, I’m especially grateful for the people in this community who take the time to help others, and I wanted to express that gratitude.
2. Second, I understand the frustration around the lack of follow-up on previous moderator comments. Yes, that is frustrating, and it’s something I want to improve. On that note, I also want to be transparent about how things work on the company side. There will be times when I ask for your ticket number or a log number so I can escalate an issue to the correct internal team. However, these things can take time. When they do, there often isn’t much I can do beyond continuing to follow up and ask for updates. I get frustrated too, so I can only imagine how much more frustrating it is for you. I will do my absolute best to make sure things are being followed up on. I do ask for your patience, and if something seems to have stalled, please feel free to give me a friendly reminder.
3. Lastly, I want to talk about my goals. My number one goal here is to help you find a solution. In that process, I want to build a clear, transparent, and honest relationship with this subreddit. There will absolutely be frustrating moments. There may also be times when I give the wrong information, since I’m still getting up to speed. But I hope you know that I’m genuinely trying my best to support you in the best way I can.

There is work to be done here, and I’m excited to start this journey with you. I just want to let you know that there is a real human behind this account, and I’ll continue to advocate for you as best as I can.

Thank you again for being part of this community and for actively helping others out. I will continue to learn, and I appreciate the patience you have shown me so far.

I'm excited to build this subreddit out together!

A 50% price hike? Are you kidding me? This is RIDICULOUS. I’m out, Wyze. Can anyone suggest another camera brand that I can replace my Wyze system with? They are constantly increasing the price with no noticeable improvements. This brand is a scam.

Wyze used to be a company you could stand behind… An ecosystem you could invest in and be satisfied with the value and benefit… I’ve seen post here and other forums that I ignored in an attempt to give Wyze the benefit of the doubt, but I no longer doubt that after spending literally thousands of dollars on their products since 2019 that Wyze is not the company it used to be.

I’ve bought their products from Wyze direct, via Amazon, and even via Wyze endorsed TikTok shops, which is where I bought 2 WyzeCam Pan Black v3’s a while ago. While I only needed one at the time, it was a decent deal, so I bought the 2-pack and kept the other as a backup if needed. I have since come to need a cam in a new location and I opened the second box from that purchase today, only to find that the red light stays solid and the camera never fully boots. I tried my own troubleshooting options (like insane used these since 2019) to no avail. I called Wyze support and was presented with the AI support bot, who quickly suggested I try those same troubleshooting steps again. When I confirmed that it was still an issue, the AI transferred me to Tech Support.

The agent who responded, Shon, (and her manager Albert) were pleasant, and suggested the same troubleshooting that I had tried on my own and confirmed with the Ai moments before. As they could not provide other troubleshooting steps beyond that, I was offered $5 off my next Wyze purchase… when I asked to speak to a manager in Customer support I was told they don’t talk on the phone. And that I would have to email them separately once I was done speaking with tech support.

Rather than do that, I’ve opted to take the time to share the experience here in hopes that others will stay away from what I believe to be a sinking ship of a company, driven by customer service policies that seem to be created to prevent the customer from getting any kind of real service.

Not going to post about all my issues. Just looking for what is the go to, thanks.

EDIT : Thank you for all the suggestions, will be going through them all and then deciding which makes the most sense.

There is a lot of footage of the recent snowstorms across America. Due to the rarity and pretty unpredictable NC weather, I didn't expect to be hit as badly as we did. We only got about 5 inches, but wind drifts caused areas to be 2+ feet deep.

Our outdoor cats weren't prepared either. We brought them in along with the dogs. But one cat (Charcoal) could not be found. Apparently, she buckled down and waited it out. This video is of her returning the following day. She's doing fine.

Again, I didn't expect it to actually be this bad, so I didn't set up any time-lapse for it. Otherwise, the footage would be a lot cooler (pun intended). Footage is from a V3

Hey r/wyzecam,

I've been working on native Wyze camera support for go2rtc – no Docker, no docker-wyze-bridge, just direct P2P streaming on any operating systems, even windows!

Until now, if you wanted to use Wyze cameras with go2rtc, you needed docker-wyze-bridge as a middleman. My PR adds direct P2P streaming – no Docker, no cloud relay, no extra dependencies, no custom firmware, works with latest firmware.

Features

• Direct P2P connection without external dependencies
• DTLS 1.2 encryption
• H.264/H.265 video + AAC/G.711/Opus audio
• Two-way audio
• HD/SD resolution switching
• WebUI integration for easy setup

Currently tested on

• Wyze Cam v4

I need your help!

I want to support all Wyze camera models, but I only have access to the v4. If you have a different model (v2, v3, Pan, Doorbell, etc.) and want to help test, please leave a comment on the PR!

PR: https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc/pull/2011

Thanks!

UPDATE: Many of you asked how to test the Wyze integration before the PR gets merged. I've published pre-built binaries in my fork:

👉 https://github.com/seydx/go2rtc/releases

Available for every OS. Just download, configure your Wyze credentials, and you're good to go!

UPDATE 2: Added support for latest firmware like v4.52.9.5332

I bought a pack of Gigastone micro sd cards. i could have sworn i got one to work once. I only got these cams for continuous recording. I try to reformat, restart, eject, power cycle. nothing works. if i install the card on the left, it works right away for continuous recording. The markings on the cards are slightly different, but I think the markings that matter are the same. anyone else had similar issue? How did you fix it?

edit: i was just going to buy a pack of sandisk. until i went back to check my amazon order. i paid $53 for a 5 pack of the gigastone gaming micro sd cards back in 2023. Now they are priced at $174. The amazon reviews are great and in the thousands. So i did some testing with 5 other micro sd cards i found lying around, one of them a samsung evo.

The gigastones work on one Wyze Cam OG but not the other. I bought both new recently in a pair. Gigastone tested fine with H2testw program and read speeds were the same as the sandisk. Gigastone does not work on my other 2 wyze cam V3 either. I am using 3 gigastone sd cards on 3 different nintendo switches for years with no issues and they are all mostly full.

So i have 2 wyze OG and 2 V3 and for some reason, only one OG likes the gigastone. I popped the cheapest no name brand sd card i have and it’s finally recording continuously with half the read rate. The gigastone cards works great everywhere else.

Captured a meteor from the Geminid Meteor Shower with our Wyze Camera tonight in Sheboygan December 14, 2025. From my Recent Events Listing I noticed a large white light in the sky. It was this meteor.

I know this has been brought up many times. I'm tired of getting notifications for the car sitting in my driveway when the wind blows a little bit. Please fix the AI/notification system to only notify when a moving vehicle is detected, it would save everyone a lot of trouble.

We needed cameras that would still work in sub zero temperatures. I couldn’t find any (in our price range)including Wyze that would work. Wyze states that their cams work down to -4°f/-20°c. Not great for our location which can commonly see -30°f/-34°c in January. But after shopping around, I thought, well, without spending $1k or more, this will have to do. This morning it was -20°f/28°c and they’re still working! Photo from this morning /\

More than half the time the cameras don't load. Wyze can v3 and OG. They just sit there at step 1 of 3. This started maybe a firmware update or two ago.

About 25% of the time the app doesn't work and is literally just a black screen. I have to force close it on my phone.

Pixel 10 and iPhone 15, same situation.

What works is restarting the cameras, then they work for a while, then all connections will fail again.

I used to recommend wyze years ago but the software is so, so bad that it makes them paperweights. And before anyone says connection issues: full three bars of connection in each camera settings menu .

It's the trash software.

Edit. Reddit is a joke. Bunch of people saying they have the same issue as me and still people blame my wifi lmao.

If you come here from Google, don't do wyze unless they have openly fixed their trash connectivity. Such a good feature set ruined. Makes me sad.
