Great video. The problem is there is too many false alerts when using motion detection. If the camera is indoors looking at a static shot (your front door) then the alerts will be less and accurate. I have two cameras outside under a roof overhang. One points at my front door, one points at my driveway. In the day time, there can be false alerts from trees branches moving, shadows, and rain. At night it is car lights. I have the cameras set to record the alerts, but I don't bother getting the notification on my phone because it is too much. I have each camera recording continuously to a 64gig memory stick, and the alerts. The new zone feature is great, you could do a video about that. But even with zones turned on, there are still false alerts. There's no way to filter out car lights shining in the driveway, or trees shadows moving, or the sun going behind clouds (shadows). I have the sensitivity set to 1 and still get the false alerts. That's the flaw when using motion detection outside, but it only happens a few times each hour.
Thank you! I'm not sure that we'll be able to fix the false alert issue without adding a motion sensor to the camera (right now it uses a pixel comparison algorithm and that's why lighting changes trigger alert videos). We're sorry that it has been affecting you like this! We definitely understand the frustration and we are looking into ways to improve this problem. I do plan to make a video about the detection zone! That's next. :)
PastTime777, Absolutely! I turned mine on and left for the day and when I came home I had an 8 hour video of my ceiling fan! And I thought it was in a great place to record a big space!
How about a video on how to turn on a wifi smart wall switch on using IFTTT with the Wyze motion detector and shutoff after a few minutes of no motion.
I would like to use IFTTT to use wyze motion detection to trigger my rachio irrigation (to scare deer away from the garden) but ONLY at night. Say between 8pm and 6am. Is it possible to restrict the time window an IFTTT is active? Or that motion detection is on?
I have iftt setup to detect my mailbox being opend with a yolink contact sensor. It's supposed to upload a short clip from my wyze outdoor v2 but I can not get it to work.
Hello. I am considering buying the subscription. Can you tell me if I have to add a subscription to each camera I use or will 1 subscription cover all cams? Thanks
Please why Alexa has most of the times problems with showing wyze cameras because can't find camera skills, this happens all the times, first I thought I am the only one who have problems, but I noticed recently most of us have this problems, please when finally will this issue resolved ??
We originally hadn't been planning to move away from mobile so we hadn't set that up. But enough people have been requesting it that we're investigating the idea. :)
I think, it would add new functionality .. an always on monitor.. a virtual window "if you will".. I bet an android emulator would work for those who really really wanted it, but i'm fine waiting on you guys to come up with something, no worries either way 😊
Hi, what if I want once a motion is detected to say a phrase to google assistant to show my front door camera on my TV???? why there is no such option?
Thanks for your feedback, I'll share it with the team. If you'd like, you can vote for adding this in the future using our Wishlist: forums.wyzecam.com/c/wishlist
Currently, through IFTTT my WyzeCam Pan turns on when I leave the area, and turns back off as soon as I return to the area. However, I would love for my WyzeCam to turn on and off ONLY when my wife and I both leave the area and both return to the area. Does my wife need her own IFTTT account to do this? Also, I saw somewhere (can’t recall) that we both need to be connected to a Life360 account in order to pull this off. Can you please advise? And thanks for the great tutorials!!
You're welcome, Danny! I know that a Life360 account is a workaround to get that use case running for people but I don't know too much about it. You may want to ask in our forum (forums.wyzecam.com), our subreddit (/r/wyzecam), or in the Wyze Core Community Facebook group. I'm sure someone will be able to help you out. :)
Wyze - Good news! My wife and I set up a family account with Life360. After that, I was able to use IFTTT to create applets that turn the WyzeCam Pan ON when the last family member leaves home, and turn the WyzeCam Pan OFF when the first family member arrives home. Looking forward to testing it out tomorrow. This was so simple!
On the updated app design where do we go to check task logs to make sure they are executed or failed? I can’t find it no where it use to be when you hit he task edit button you could check logs on the next screen...help
Can you make the wyze apps thumbnails show live small feeds. I want to use my 2 wyze pan cams for kids monitors, but I need to keep cycling to refresh the screens. Any help
OMG! Send me info on person that is using Wyze cam for litter box "smell removal"! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO TOO! I thought I was the only nerd cat lover LOL
Hey, Will! We already spoke through the support channel. Glad you enjoyed the video! But you may want to remove your email address since we've already gotten in contact. :)
Aww!!! Thank you! I did it myself! Trying to figure out what colors I'm going to go with from here. I'm not as happy with this dye as I was with my previous one. :)
WyzeCam - It looks fantastic, especially for doing yourself!🤩Believe me, I know how difficult it can be twisting in the mirror trying to get the back covered. Plus that type of color is extremely messy! No more white towels or pillowcases.😆 As a hairdresser of 15+ years, based in Los Angeles, I absolutely LOVE to play with color!🎨If you would like suggestions and home tips PM me on Instagram at: Instantlystaycee, I promise I’m just your average weirdo.🤪 Also, here’s the name of the BEST salon in The Portland area. The stylists all do fun, funky hair all day long! I can give you a personal recommendation if you’d like.👍 www.newvintagebeautylounge.com/
AH! You're the best! Thank you! :D I used to have a medicine cabinet and that helped with shaving and dyeing. Now I don't have one and I feel the loss keenly! On the bright side, I don't use white towels or bedding anyway. :) I used the Argan Oil dye this time. While the colors are vibrant, it took too much dye to get coverage and I wasn't a fan of the viscosity. I'm going to try Arctic Fox next time!
We have only been open for a little over a year and we have limited resources still. We've been adding new features! But this is a good way to enjoy additional features before we are able to implement them ourselves or to integrate Wyze Cam actions with other products and services. :)
This was the best iftt video I have seen so far. Quick, simple and to the point. I love it.

I'm on my 3rd cam! Also got the sense kit, but haven't set that up yet. Love these cams. Miss the TOT vids though....
How about a video on how to turn on a wifi smart wall switch on using IFTTT with the Wyze motion detector and shutoff after a few minutes of no motion.
I too am looking at my desktop pc a lot more than my phone. So how about letting us access the wyzecams & live video from a windows desktop?
I second that!
We are looking into it but I don't know any details yet! :)
By the way, nice to see you over here, Mikey!
Have you been spying on me through the WyzeCams?? jk ;-)
Hah! No, I don't have time for those kinds of shenanigans even if I had access! But I DO get to chat with you on Twitter sometimes! :D
@@wyze Let's get on with it. Web portal or something for PC. It's been done for years already!

Can you get iPhone notifications when recording to SD card?
I can’t get any settings to work. Is there a way IFTTT will allow me to do that?

If person detected between 10pm and 6am, then turn on burglar alarm. Now, WyzeCam and IFTTT, can you make that rule work for me?
How can I use IFTTT with the cam and the wyze bulb? I want to have it turn on with motion, and then turn off after a set period of time?
I would like to have my echo dots play a sound. Notification sounds and email sounds do not wake me up.
And this brings up the question... Why isn't wyzecam viewable on PC/Mac? Sorry if this has been asked already
Because we haven't figured out how we want to go about it yet. We're looking into this! :)
fair enough..
We originally hadn't been planning to move away from mobile so we hadn't set that up. But enough people have been requesting it that we're investigating the idea. :)

Some people DO use Android emulators for this! But we thank you for your patience and understanding. :)

Almost perfect. If only there was a way to set it up to receive a still shot of what was detected.

all i want to do is have access to my cam via my laptop....cant believe in this day & age, its still not possible!
On the updated app design where do we go to check task logs to make sure they are executed or failed? I can’t find it no where it use to be when you hit he task edit button you could check logs on the next screen...help
Never mind I found it
Thanks for the update! We appreciate you taking the time to let us know. :)
Can you make the wyze apps thumbnails show live small feeds. I want to use my 2 wyze pan cams for kids monitors, but I need to keep cycling to refresh the screens. Any help
Make them a group

Are we close?
I hear that we're hoping for it early next week! :D
"Changing formats"... making ready both the boo and the hiss...
You would boo my videos?! :(
WyzeCam just being at the ready. Change is hard.
Lee, I hear ya. I have similar feelings about change. :)
Wyze admits thier company is narcissistic?
These basic features should be already in the WYZE app natively why the need for a 3rd party app smh
We have only been open for a little over a year and we have limited resources still. We've been adding new features! But this is a good way to enjoy additional features before we are able to implement them ourselves or to integrate Wyze Cam actions with other products and services. :)
I’m willing to put money on the fact that trump is not her president.
