    I chose these cameras because they were able to work directly off SD cards and on a local network, the company nags incessantly to sign up and pay for an account with awesome stuff like facial recognition and AI crap. I didn’t know there was an added upgrade to have my bedroom camera shared with the FBI.

      They’re really not local; they have significant reliance on the cloud. You can’t configure without setting up the cloud integration. They pulled the RTSP firmware. If you want truly local, put something like Reolink PoE cams on a separate network and block all outbound traffic.

      The tweet offers the sale of 10000 cameras, not any sharing of footage.

        You’re right. I got carried away reading all the replies to the tweet, although it does show the company is willing to help authorities gather information which to me is a red flag.

    I interpret this as them trying to sell 10,000 cameras. Not footage from their customers.

      I contacted support and this is exactly what it is, it’s a poorly worded tweet. I’m still going to cancel one I find replacements because they’re way too eager to help those fascists.

        You contacted support and they told you what you wanted to hear.

        Wow, you must ask Facebook support if they sell user data to the government and if sky is blue.

      They were willing to sell 10,000 cameras anyway. The point of making it into a public tweet is to publicly gargle the ballsack so everyone knows where they stand.

    That’s offering 10,000 cameras, not the footage from 10,000 cameras. You think Wyze only has 10,000 customers?
