    Yeah.

    I actually like Wyze (although, their monetization model means I am like 70% of the way to switching to a frigate setup) and feel there is a lot of value in having an easy no effort way to upload external footage to an offsite location (had an attempted break-in where the asshole actually saw the camera, ripped it off its mount, and chucked it a few years over).

    For internal? I do have a few wyze cameras set up just so I can check in on my cat when I am gone for more than a few hours. I also have those connected to smart plugs so they only get power when I want them to (because I don’t trust anything that lets me remotely enable or disable a device). If I am home, they are off. If I am gone, they may be on. means that someone might get footage of my cute little booger scratching up my office chair but they won’t have footage of me walking around with my schlong hanging out.
