Can this camera be used in a vacant home with no internet. Just a wi-fi hot spot. If so, can I use my phone remotely to activate the "siren"? null

Hi there! The Wyze Cam v4 can be used without a continuous internet connection by scheduling recordings to a microSD card. However, to set up and configure the camera initially, an internet connection is required. Once set up, the camera can record to the microSD card even if the Wi-Fi drops, as long as it has power.

However, to use features like activating the siren remotely, you would need an active internet connection. This is because remote access and control through the Wyze app require the camera to be connected to the internet. If you have a Wi-Fi hotspot available, you could potentially use it to connect the camera to the internet for remote access.

I would imagine yes, because to the camera, a wifi hot-spot looks just like a normal wifi connection.

Yes, but it needs to be plugged into an outlet.
