YES - My point was , that various features requests/ fixes were batted away on the basis that this was NOT a security camera. Indeed Wyze seemed to be going out of their way to avoid using that term.

if they are now happy to say that it IS a security camera that comes with certain expectations

Thanks @cbartley99

Here’s a rewind to about a year-and-a-half ago as a sample of what you, @raym64 & @customer say…

@peepeep

I started with three cameras and tested them intensively for a few months. When Wyze told me they weren’t security cams, they were for “keeping an eye on things,” I took them at their word and lowered my expectations. That has served me well.

Here’s an esteemed boomer’s take on their current stance:

It makes perfect sense, Wyze like any company is seeking ways to monetize its product line. Legally they maintain the necessary fiction that their products should not be used for security. This protects them from liabilities in case some suffers a loss while using their products as a security device. But they are certainly blurring that line now. I would guess that this particular move will make it relatively easy for a good attorney to take them to task over an obviously mixed message.

It will be interesting to see how it pans out.
