does it require WiFi to make camera work? null

Hello there! Your Wyze Cam is meant to work with an internet connection. The connection is what allows you to stream, get notifications, and change settings via the Wyze app. However, you can use a Wi-Fi network connection to set up and configure your Wyze Cam in the Wyze app. Once the camera is configured with a microSD card inserted and Local recording to microSD card turned on, the camera will continue to continuously record to the microSD card, even when it is offline. If you have other questions or concerns or if you are experiencing any issues, please reach out to our Wizards team (https://support.wyze.com/) so we may help out. You may tap on the Message icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the support site > fill out the questionnaire > and choose the way in which you would like to speak with our team. Please include as much information on your issue as possible. Our products come with a 1-year manufacturer warranty, so if the device is determined to be defective we will be happy to exchange it for you. Thank you for your feedback and have a great day!

I believe you do have to have Wi-Fi for the cameras to operate properly. That was one of the set ups when I downloaded the app is they needed a Wi-Fi connection. But if you don’t get the subscription, I highly recommend you get a high gigabyte SD card to insert in the camera.

Yes, It requires wifi / internet connection for initial setup and usage.

Download app and setup with cell phone and wifi

It doesn’t use WIFi which is a disappointment. I didn’t realize it wasn’t wireless. Have to find connectable area to use it.
