Question on Notification & Changing Email. New User

[Secure17]

I just set-up 5 Wyze Cam and I am having trouble. I would appreciate help with the following:

1. I set up the app on my phone with my main e-mail but want notifications to go to my secondary e-mails. How can I change the e-mail notifications?

2. I set up Notifications but have not received any. What else do I need to adjust?

3. Once I leave home can I deactivate “WiFi” setting on my phone? Normally I just run off my mobile connection since I have unlimited Data. I had to turn on my phone’s “WiFi” to get Wyze to work.

Thank you.

Hello @Secure17,

Wyze notifications come though via the App not email.

Email notification with attached snapshots/photos/video taken on motion detection

It’s way quicker to view an email and look at a view frames of the images taken at the time of a motion detection event, than to load the app and watch through a couple of seconds of video footage (which may just be false positives). My Dlink DCS-933L IP cam and other IP cams I’ve owned previously support this. Assuming that your email is with Gmail, you can even set up a Google App Script to sync the email attachments to your Google Drive, then use the Backup & Sync app from Google to automati…

Thanks I will take a look. Can I specify a different email than the one I used to set up the app?

To access your cameras including notifications you need to be signed in to the app with the email you signed up with ( since your cameras are attached to that account). Notifications do not go through email currently, they are Push notifications through the Wyze app itself.

EDIT: if you want to change the email address period, You would need to create another account, and re-add your cameras to the newly created account.

For the second part of your question:

I have mine set up as such:
Event recording: Detects motion
Notifications: Send Notifications ON and Person Detection ON.
From the Live feed Screen under the “more” button I also have motion tagging selected.

That is how I have mine set up for person/motion detection.

So this sends me notifications when motion is detected and if its a person. you may change it to notify you for all motion events if you like.

For the 3rd part of your Question, yes you do not have to be connected to your WiFi network to view your cameras.

You can use IFTTT to make email notifications to whatever email address you choose.
