[Stolen WyzeCam delivery - can Wyze identify the cameras?]

Those two threads are a good read on the topic, if you’re interested. The question made me curious, so I searched the forum to see if it had been answered. If not, I was going to experiment with it myself, but it looks like @Loki already did.

@UserCustomerGwen - Is this definitely still the way it works? If I understand correctly, someone who steals your camera and then connects it to a different account will, in the process, delete every trace of the device in your account. Is that right? If so, that seems like a pretty big security flaw. I realize it’s probably a pretty rare scenario, but if that were to happen, it seems like it would be more important than ever to retain access to your cloud recordings, in hopes that the cameras may have caught footage that could help identify the thief. It certainly shouldn’t be possible for the thief to be able to wipe the slate clean without direct access to your account.
