Do any of the Wyze cameras work without Internet or WiFi?

When your travel cam is connected to your phone’s WiFi hotspot (but phone NOT connected to internet), can the Wyze app download time lapse recordings from the travel cam? Mine can’t. Even though the app and the camera are directly connected on the same subnet, the app refuses to download the recording. Wyze is aware of that issue, but the latest release of the app (2.3.69) did not fix it.

If @connelly.shawn is hoping to do recording to the SDcard with an ‘off-line’ Wyze camera, this thread may be helpful:

Note that there are a number of different configurations, each with their own limitations and caveats:

  • cam completely off-line: no WiFi (and obviously no internet connection to Wyze HQ)
  • cam connected to WiFi hotspot from a travel router, but no internet connection.
  • cam connected occasionally to a smartphone hotspot which has internet connectivity. (IE, the cam can connect to WyzeHQ through the smartphone).
  • cam connected occasionally to a smartphone hotspot, but no internet service (IE, locations where there is no cellular/data coverage).
