I have been a big wayze fan for years. But i can no longer in good faith recommend your product to people anymore.

For years i have had Wyze cam pan v3, Cam v3, V4, Pan cam v2 and a window cam. But dang your service is just getting worse and worse. Buggy firmware updates and issues with app updates. The most recent issues with the cam pan 3 messing up micro sd cards and the fix which sort of works but now i am trying to view video from a few hours ago and it will just show loading then it will reconnect to the camera and eventually say No video available at this time. I can reboot it, and try to load video and get the same results. I know your not a security company. I use your cameras on my moms front porch to keep an eye on critters. Possums and racoons mainly. Im trying to replay footage of a baby possum with out its mom to see if we need to catch it and call a rehabber due to how young he is.. We think he fell off his mom when she was eating but gee now i cant access the video from a few hours ago. Thanks Wyze.

Time to set up the Tapo Kasa home cams i got a few months ago when your last firmware broke the Cam pan v3 recording originally.

Wzye, What happened to you? Whom ever does your firmware needs to seriously learn to test it before sending it out to wyze users as beta testers.

EDIT: Decided to add that my frustration is focused on the Cam Pan v3 issues. So far the V3 and V4 are still working as expected. Unfortunately to monitor the critters on my moms porch we need a camera with pan and tilt. So sort of rely on the pan cam v3.

I recently upgraded the OS on my umbrel home and after restart i had network issues. Then i remembered i needed to update my IPv6 address on Lan DHCP server on my router. This got me to thinking. The devices on my network that support IPv6 have a local fe80: number and 2603:8080: number. I was using the 2603:8080: as the Lan DHCP ip server address but realized it often changes with other devices on my network but not my umbrel deivce. SO i started to use the fe80: one.

Should i have been using the fe80: one the whole time? Or should i go back to the 2603:8080: address? Both seem to work but since i only have 1 place to enter an IPv6 DNS on my router i have to choose one. I did some searching and found 1 thread from a year ago where someone said they were using the local v6 address which is the fe80. But i would like confirmation on that.
