I am also a Wyze user and overall am very happy with them. The app is =
simple and intuitive and I don=E2=80=99t (at least currently) subscribe =
to their enhanced monitoring service. I do have a couple of issues that =
you might want to consider before going with them.
First, I am always disappointed by the time it takes the cameras to =
=E2=80=98react=E2=80=99. We have a spotlight camera in our driveway and =
I am always surprised by how long it takes for the light to come on and =
the system to notify me when we walk or drive into the driveway. It =
works perfectly, but if you are counting on reasonably instant =
notification you might want to look into something else.
Second, it feels to me like they have recently made monitoring without =
the service a little harder through recent updates. It used to be =
pretty simple to view recordings on the app but it takes an extra step =
now and click a button for the SD card, then look for the =E2=80=98event=E2=
=80=99 that was recorded. Before, you could just click on the image =
from the event and watch. It isn=E2=80=99t a big deal (unless of =
course, a thief stole your whole camera along with the SD card) but I =
get the feeling they are trying to make it harder to avoid paying for =
the extra service. That is why I said =E2=80=9Cnot currently=E2=80=9D =
when it comes to the monitoring.
