Something else I forgot to mention -- when you add the cameras to your network, give them a static DHCP lease by MAC address in your router (separate ones, for both wifi and ethernet if applicable)
If you don't and IP addresses cycle, your RTSP stream URLs will change and your recording software will just consider the camera disconnected. The Wyze app sometimes will get confused too (with ethernet in particular, if IP addresses change), and rebooting the cameras sometimes means physically cycling power if you don't know where it's at in your network. Better to just reserve a specific IP up front, write it down, and never think about it again.
I also use a lot of these types of crappy smart plugs [0] throughout the house (as well as starting to replace some with actual wifi outlets [1] for aesthetics) and it's actually really useful to be able to force a power cycle on certain things from my phone.
