I’ve been exploring the capabilities of my Wyze camera and came across a question that I thought might be helpful to others. If you’re using a Wyze camera on a local network without an internet connection, will it still trigger alerts on your phone? From what I’ve gathered, it seems that Wyze cameras rely heavily on the cloud for notifications, but there might be a workaround if your phone and camera are on the same LAN.
I’m planning to set up a camera outside my travel trailer to monitor things like my portable generator. The trailer has its own Wi-Fi router, creating a local network, but it’s not connected to the internet. I’d love to receive alerts when someone approaches the camper, but I’m not sure if that’s possible without an internet connection. If not, I might have to rely on continuous recording and check the footage later.
Has anyone successfully set up Wyze cameras in a similar offline environment? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated! I’m also curious if there are alternative settings or configurations that could make alerts work without relying on the cloud. Let’s hear your thoughts and experiences!
