Re:Tell HN: Toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and now web cams by bredren on Wednesday April 08, 2020 @11:24AM (#22813717)
That's really cool that Wyze did that. These are also great for making HD time-lapse videos of plant growth, etc, when a large internal SD is used for the price.

The normal function of a security camera is also good, however, a warning that these contain active microphones. So if you transition to using these as indoor, facing-outdoor security cams to strongly consider pulling the microphone from the circuit board. There are youtube videos, it can be done easily in under 10 minutes.

There is a software disable, but I do not believe this can be trusted.
