What do I do if I don't have any search results?

If you enter a search phrase but don't get any results, consider:

  • Checking if you have Event Recording enabled on your Wyze Cams.
  • Using a simpler phrase, like "dog in yard" instead of "white doggo on grass."
  • Searching for something more general, like "yard."
  • Only Events recorded after enrolling in Video Search will be searchable.

No, our team is not able to manually add anyone to the Video Search pilot launch. Instead, you can enroll by tapping the magnifying glass icon on the Events tab.
