They say you get a free trial

They say you get a free trial, so I was leaving for Costa Rica for a week, as soon as I got back I cancelled the free trial. They questioned why on the app and I stated it was only needed temporarily. Well, 3 weeks later they charged me for 3 camera monitoring. My cameras are unplugged and I cancelled it. This is not the first time they did this and they don't give refunds, I disputed the charge with my Credit Card company so we'll see. I love the cameras but this bull$h1t is wrong if not totally illegal.

Bad App So Bad Camera

Since the last app update these cameras are useless. The problem is the App because on my old phone which the app was NOT updated the cameras work fine. On my tablet, as soon as the update was installed you cannot view any events without the app locking up. Worse yet is the fact that their support seems to not care at all. Since there is a multitude of complaints, all they have to do is either fix it or roll the update back. DO NOT BUY THESE CAMERAS. You will be sorry.

After subscription plan is useless

I have this camera for 3-4 years. Used to be good camera. After introducing the subscription plan you can't watch the record which make camera useless. If can't rewatch the records of event why is the use of the camera. Dispute the fact that you have inserted sd card you still can't watch record.
Look elsewhere for different brand.
Not recommended

No support for the software…

After Wyze “pushed” a software upgrade to v3.2, the devices in the app for iOS disappeared. After this unnecessary failure for Apple users, Wyze no longer supports their app “Services” if they were purchased via the normal “subscription” in-app purchase from an iPhone/iPad “App Store” subscription. The services must be purchased directly from Wyze.com. The user can NO LONGER use the features of the app… reloading only results in useless extra charges from Apple. Wyze will NOT REIMBURSE you for the charges incurred by loading the incomplete app from your iPhone / iPad! This is a reproducible problem.

N.B. Their hardware is great, but the application requires a familiarity with sloppy programming that most people won’t have. There is no documentation regarding the application. Not for novices. The support from the “Wyze Wizards” proved almost useless. The only issue they addressed was the fact that they would not support the app if the license was purchased from the app itself.

WyzeScam.....

Wyze has ““improved”” the wyzecam app to the point that it has become 99 percent un-useable. The latest crazy change is that wyze has put symbols OVER the event video so that parts of the video are covered up. It’s supposed to be a security camera that allows you to see security risks! They also have removed the delete button from the event clip playback screen which has added TWO extra navigation clicks, and when you are trying to monitor a large property with several structures with 13 cameras this consumes a lot of extra time. Also, the app can’t keep up with fast clicks so that what you think you’ve clicked doesn’t actually happen and you have to go back and re-do it. Do you think wyze will refund these cameras since they don’t do what they did when I bought them?? This is what I get for buying cheap junk. I’ll probably just sell all these cams on e-bay and spend more money on a better company. Change the name to WyzeScam!

Really poor to nonexistent customer support. How can a company that provides household security products be so nonchalant about support. I will contact some of the retailers that sell their products to inform them of poor quality or support or literally none at all

Wyze? WORTHLESS.

The components don't work. The company doesn't stand by them. They clearly train their "support" people to drive you nuts by going round and round in circles and then closing the ticket.

Wyze JUST became profitable thanks to the loyalty of early adopters willing to see past their quirks b/c it was clear that once upon a time, the company valued its customers. Today, they are straight up stealing from the hands that feed them...

What are you doing, Wyze? Wake up and turn this ship around before you go down in flames.

If you are considering any of Wyze's products, DO NOT buy a single thing from this company until they guarantee their functionality AND reverse their sham customer support processes.

Well over 3 weeks ago I contacted wyze support telling them you can't record back from the SD card on the V4 camera. Support told me I had to buy a subscription which what's the point in having an SD card then. You don't need a subscription. They replace the camera and I tried multiple SD cards and you still can't record. I can view back from the SD card no problem. I ended up finding the wyze forum and see many other people having the same problem. Wyze doesn't even pay attention to the forum. I've filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and they responded with our engineers are working on it. It takes them over a month? Answer wasn't good enough. They are falsely advertising.

Wyze Refunds and cancelling service.

I purchased cameras directly from Wyze. Nowhere in the description it needs an electrical outlet to keep it charged. I immediately return all products unopened. However, they did not cancel my subscription for monthly service. This was not mentioned when I was dealing with the return, that cancelling the subscription was up to me. They refuse to refund me for a service that I never used. Difficult to reach CS rep and am told that is policy! Unethical business practice. Ripping off customers.

wyze push everybody to pay service

wyze playback for events button became disable in february 2024. 18 emails with customer support got assurance that this feature will be fixed soon. they lied. basically wyze forcing all users to go to cloud for pay monthly model to keep /access events recording on their servers in cloud. it is not acceptable for any business to market wyze cameras as sdcard storage camera and not being able to view events without paying. roku has the same cameras devices and the company honestly promoting cloud paid service before you buy devices. if any class action against company will come up count me in. do not buy wyze as you not know how it turned up in a month or so. and at the end the price for cameras are three times higher than any competitors with the same offerungs in cloud. go roku or amazon blink for solid service.

Buggy Firmware

Strongly suspect they release buggy firmware that will stop your camera working and steer you to buying a new one from them. They say them dont keep older versions of firmware

Shoddy products, horrid customer care.

Most people are familiar with the phrase, "You get what you pay for." Sometimes however, especially with apathetic, inept corporations such as Wyze, customers don't even receive what they spend good money to obtain.

When a company screws up it is dependent upon the corporation to make things right. Customers should never be held responsible or inconvenienced for a company's careless mistakes. Taking care of customers is the way successful companies earn loyal, repeat purchasers. Realistically, no product or service is perfect but it is how companies address and resolve such imperfections that separates ethical companies from complacent or sinister ones.

Case in point: Improperly engineered and insufficiently tested firmware updates resulted in the failure of a Wyze Cam product, twice, under warranty. Wyze does not have a warranty replacement item readily available. What should Wyze do to earn the trust and respect of a customer?

For starters, Wyze should, unequivocally, extend a consumer's product warranty by the number of days it takes to receive a warranty replacement item. It is ethically (and perhaps legally) unacceptable for Wyze to permit a product warranty to expire without satisfactorily honoring a valid warranty.

If Wyze will not replace the defective item prior to the expiration of a warranty, Wyze should send the customer an equivalent but upgraded item at no charge in order to fulfill a legitimate warranty claim. Wyze must not resort to stalling and placating customers due to a depletion or inventory or to cover up known design flaws.

As a result of the way Wyze has treated me I will never recommend any Wyze products to anyone. Accordingly, I will populate websites with my condemnation of Wyze products and Wyze corporate irresponsibility.

Those in the Wyze C-Suite should tally up the consequences of producing so many angry customers. How many potential purchasers does one negative review influence? Do the math. Take that number and multiply by hundreds or thousands of unfavorable reviews all across cyberspace.

There is another adage in business: “If you don’t take care of the customer someone else will.”

I ordered a few items for my home security and the shipment was lost. They are so horrible to communicate with customers messaging and all the time communication gets lost and no communication from them even when give them my telephone number. When finally contacted they send me a part of my order and promised that the keypad will be delivered when available and I check the website and have it available but they closed my complaint without sending me the missing part I have ordered and paid for. Trying to get back from them and the customer service is the worse ever to work with. If you want anything related to Wyze Labs get it from Home Depot or any side vendor but not from Wyze Labs.

Never use it

Never use it. The service declines while they keep asking for more money. At first, it's not bad, but over time, problems arise. It's absolutely garbage.
