Wyze clearly isn't holding themselves accountable for their defective and poorly made product. I have no gift card in my possession that they speak of, which still doesn't even replace but a fraction of the camera's cost. The item was replaced with a refurbished product in March 2023, but the warranty should have renewed at this point. Instead it only ran for a few more months.Read F Facebook Danny Safa · owner
