I have one of these, and they're pretty great for the money. My minor gripe: the microphone on mine isn't sensitive at all.
ReplyDeleteAnyone wondering whether there is a catch to such a great deal here you go - https://www.reddit.com/r/wyzecam/comments/7cykgf/wyzecam_sending_data_to_servers_other_than_aws/
ReplyDeleteThanks for that link. I'm going to follow the Wyze updates/progress.
DeleteI was thinking about sticking this in my garage to cover the front yard, so there wouldn't be anything very interesting to a 3rd party.
I see they released a firmware update (3.9.2.30) on Feb 15, 2018. No mention of the changes related to the issue, but it sounds like a lot of that would happen on the back-end.
