I have bought 5 of the V3 cameras so far. I have had them for several months. I give them a 5 star rating. They seem to work great. I have only had one problem lately. 3 of the cameras came up no cloud. They would not shut off or update, but they seemed to still work fine. After about 12 hours 2 cameras showed online. 24 hours later I unplugged the 3rd one for about 2 minutes and it came back online. Checking my emails Amazon sent a message saying they have server trouble for the cameras. Sounds like that was the problem. I think there were server problems all over the country the last few days. For me it wasn’t clear what you received when you paid for the subscription. Without the subscription, you get MOTION alerts only and a 12 second video, stored in the cloud. With a 5 minute (non cloud stored) “cool down” between alerts. An SD card is not needed, but if you install one AND set the camera to continuous record you can scroll through the video until it is over written. Maybe a week?With the subscription, you get unlimited length cloud recording, while there is motion detected, and 23 seconds after. I have notice that if someone is doing something like walking to the front of the house and trying to hook up a garden hose, it may stop detecting motion (or recording) after a while since the person is moving very little. The BIGGEST plus with the subscription to Cam Plus, is the AI detection. It can detect and alert you to a person, auto or pet. Without the AI detection, when motion is detected the camera will send you an alert. Major nuisance. Motion detection will trigger with people, cars, pets AND leaves blowing in yard, sun shining on the ground through tree branches blowing in the wind, lightning flashes, heavy rain, headlights of cars at night glaring at the house. An SD card not needed, but if installed, AND camera set to record continuous, you can scroll through the video to see things that the camera did not detect in the distance.FYIs, Any video that the camera detects you can download to your phone to keep a permanent record. After 2 weeks the cloud will overwrite any videos not downloaded. As far as I know, to download videos on the SD card they have to be removed from the camera. Other reviews said the camera cannot mask areas that they do not want alerts from. To me I just point the camera away from that area. I have used 25 ft USB cables with no problems. Also I seem to keep getting updates about once a week. The cameras can be updated from your phone, just another pop up when you open the app. The Wyze system only works with your phone. There is a work around for your home computer, heard it is glitchy. I have not tried the 2 way yet. Cam Plus subscription right now is $2 a month per camera. If you do an annual subscription I paid $1.25 a month. ($15 a year per camera) Seems to be a great deal for a $35 camera.

The WYZE Cam has completely exceeded my expectations. Its innovative technology brings a new level of clarity and security to my home surveillance setup. The color night vision feature is a game-changer, providing vivid and detailed footage even in low-light conditions.Setting up the camera was a breeze thanks to the user-friendly app, and the wide viewing angle ensures that I can monitor every corner of the room with ease. The camera’s sleek design seamlessly blends into my home decor. Whether I’m checking in on my pets while I’m away or keeping an eye on package deliveries, the WYZE Cam delivers crisp and reliable footage every time. It’s a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their home security system without breaking the bank. Highly recommend!

This has been a great camera.The first Wyze Cam I got was for a in-house baby monitor, and it was extremely important to me that I have the ability to have the camera fully off-line. Most cameras require internet connection and the images are fed through their servers. This was NOT what I wanted for my in-house baby monitor. I found Wyze, and purchased it with the peace of mind that my video would remain MY video. I loved how easy it was to set up, and how perfectly it has worked for several years now.So when I wanted to purchase an outdoor camera, it was a no-brainer to get another Wyze Cam. I’ve had it for about a year, and recently purchased my second.InstallationI use these with the light socket adapter, which screws into your light bulb socket, and adds a USB outlet for your camera. (It does NOT take the place of the light bulb – you can still use a bulb as well.) The USB plug fits snug to maintain weather resistance, and there is a sleeve to protect any connections.ConnectingI have installed two of these, and they both took around 2 – 5 minutes to install. Download the app, power the camera and follow the voice prompts. You’ll need to scan a bar code from your phone, and press a button on the back of the camera (which can be a bit hard to reach if you’ve already mounted the camera). You do need to have a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection where you install the camera.CameraThe night vision is great. I have two 60-watt bulbs for my entire large yard, but with the night vision I can clearly see all corners of the yard in full color. In the dead of night I can see to my mailbox, which is probably 100′ from the nearest camera and light bulb. Beyond the mailbox gets pretty dark, but if a car drives by I can still see the car well enough to identify the color, make and model. I would not be able to read a license plate from that distance, though, at night or in the day. The picture quality in my yard is good. It’s not movie-quality by any means, but it is good enough that I can get a clear look at people, pets, objects, vehicles and animals.Motion DetectionThe motion detection is good. Within my yard, it easily detects people and my dog moving around. It also detects when my motion-sensing lights at the far end of the yard turn on. And during major winds, it will also detect the movement of a large bush. You can set notifications in the app. The motion sensing notifications can get a bit much if you have people or pets moving about your yard regularly.For my outdoor cameras, I opted for Wyze’s subscription to store motion events for a period of time (you can download them from the cloud if you want to keep them longer). With one of the subscription levels you can adjust the motion sensing so it does not trigger for known people and pets. It has worked well, though there was one event where I had hoped it would have recorded some vehicles driving by but they were too far away to trigger the recording. Recorded events are very easy to access within the app.The subscriptions have some security features including the option to call for dispatch. I have not tried these features so I can’t speak to those.DurabilityI can’t speak to cold or snow, but my first outdoor camera has lasted through a year of incredible heat (120º), extreme UV exposure, severe sandstorms, massive amounts of super-fine dust, and the occasional thunderstorm without any problem. It is somewhat protected as it is installed under an eave, but it is otherwise exposed. I need to occasionally wipe off spider webs and dust, but it has lasted beautifully. I’ve had 0 problems with it in a year. After a power outage, it reconnects without a hitch.ConclusionOverall, I highly recommend this camera for its usability, privacy, quality and durability.

I have six Wyze cameras, the scale and the irrigation controller. They all work wonderfully most of the time. I have been replacing Ring cameras since I like the Wyze cameras so much more. And they’re considerably less expensive.With Ring, I was too often having to cycle power on them to get them back up. This is a bit of a problem if you’re not at home and you’re wanting to see what’s going on. Also, Ring doesn’t play nice with third party apps like TinyCam Pro. TinyCam Pro allows me to see live feed of all my Wyze cameras at once on a TV screen. With Ring, I can only see one at a time. By the time I was able to see who was ringing the doorbell, they were gone. And I often had missed rings with Ring. But I digress.The Wyze v3 cameras are pretty stable. I think I had to reset two of them a year or so ago, but that’s it. Setup is *usually* very easy, but in the past I would have to print out the QR code – the camera wouldn’t read it on my phone. That said, this latest camera was able to read it off my phone many times without fail. The reason for the 4 star review is due to the fact that I had a lot of trouble getting this camera to connect, and eventually had to resort to downloading a different firmware revision on to a micro SD card and loading it from there. However, once it’s connected, it’s pretty much flawless.

These are the best cameras around for continual recording without a subscription. Installing a SIM card into the camera allows it to record video and audio to the card 24/7, even if Wi-Fi is unavailable for a while (though Wi-Fi is required for initial setup). Most competing cameras will record continually only if streaming to the cloud, usually requiring a subscription; if they have local storage at all, it will usually only capture intermittent still photos.Wyze Cam V3 is a great value for the price. Video quality is good for basic home security/monitoring, but likely not good enough if you want to capture license plates, etc.My 8Gb SIM card stores about 3 days of audio/video, but the camera can supposedly support a card up to 256Gb, if you need a longer video history. When the card is full, the camera automatically overwrites the oldest footage, so you’ll always be able to review the last few days.The free app allows you to view realtime video and to review video recorded on the SIM card. The interface is clunky, but it works. It can flag motion events, to help you find moments of interest in the recording. Alternatively, you can pull out the SIM card and view the video with a standard card reader. If you capture footage you want to save, you can download video clips from the app before the footage is overwritten, or you can swap out the card.I’ve also had success powering this with an external battery pack, for a portable security option where a power outlet is not accessible. I’ve run the camera on a 30,800mAh battery pack for 8 hours, at which point the battery pack reported it still had about 85% capacity remaining, so I’m confident it could easily power the camera for at least 24 hours. That was with continual recording to the SIM card, and also remaining connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network. There’s some chatter on the Wyze user forum that suggests the V3 might stop working if it remains disconnected from the Internet for several hours, but I haven’t tested it long enough to observe that issue.

I have used a few Wyze indoor cameras that I loved, and when these outdoor varieties went on sale, I just couldn’t help myself and bought two. The visual field, motion detection, night vision, and picture clarity are all outstanding.Two note:1. I used a metal siding clip to hang each camera without drilling. I had to use snips to modify the hanger a bit, but it works well.2. I had a Eufy solar powered camera. The picture was great, but the light strength and motion detection were very poor. This Wyze is FAR superior.

I installed several v3’s 7 months ago. They worked well. However, Wyze was constantly requiring me to install endless updates. It seemed like every week or two. Well, the last update bricked all of my camera’s.Power cycling did nothing. So I took a couple of the camera’s down and reset them. All of them went back on line without a problem. However, as soon as I unplugged them to reinstall them, guess what! Dead again. I reset them again–three times same result. Each time they were power cycled they went into the install mode and wouldn’t come out of it so they could reconnect.I called Wyze tech support and they made me repeat all the steps I had already done multiple times. Why? Because the support person doesn’t know much about the cameras. They’re simply reading from a help desk script, and they have to check off the boxes, or they get in trouble.They tried to convince me it was my fault. The network router wasn’t good enough. Too many things were connected to it. On and on. I’m an engineer so I know BS when I hear it. All the cameras worked fine including the previous updates until this last one. Then bricked. That’s not a coincidence, and they know it. They’ve had the brick problem happen numerous times, so tech support has heard it all before. Any little info packet problem, minor power spiking, wifi signal wavering or any other type of interference can cause the flash update to go wrong. All of these things are normal and should be expected with any wifi connected equipment.Wyze finally agreed to replace all of the cameras, but it took about three hours going in circles with them. I’ve already spent close to six hours taking cameras down, testing them, talking to tech support twice, and now I’ve got to reinstall all the cameras again. These are good, inexpensive cameras–when they work. Tech support is available, but watch out because every problem is caused by something on your end. They really love to blame the router.Bottom line–they just don’t want to replace the cameras if they can convince you everything is your fault. This time they did replace them, which I appreciate. They asked me to return the failed cameras, which I don’t mind, but it’s just more of my time. Of course, their engineers want to look at them. Really! They’ll be sitting in a box somewhere with the other few thousand failures. They’ll get to mine around 2026 when someone throws them in the trash bin. They want the cameras back to insure I’m not trying to get over on them, and get free cameras.When the time I’ve spent is taken into consideration, these cameras aren’t very cost effective. My time isn’t free, even though Wyze acts like it is. We’ll see how long the new ones last. If their “technical team” keeps updating every few weeks like they’re doing now, they’ll brick some more cameras. It’s the risk of e-prom updates. I would skip the updates, but they pop up a nag screen every time I open a camera. It’s annoying. Clicking “don’t show again” is just another waste of time. Customers aren’t sitting around waiting for every minor change in the software. One or two updates a year would be adequate. Let me decide if I want the updates. Oh, that won’t work because some of the updates are about taking away stuff like the 12 second videos that originally came with the cameras. What a crock!It takes at least an hour to set up a half dozen cameras. Each camera has to be updated from 1 to 4 times during the setup process, depending on when it was manufactured. That takes a lot of time. Then it will take me another hour plus to reinstall them. In total, this brick update will cost me 9 to 10 hours of my time, at least.Wyze has better tech support than most security camera companies. It’s just slow having to go through the help screen over and over no matter how many times something has already been done. One tech support person was willing to sit on hold while I uninstalled one camera from the roof. Ok, let me whip out the ladder, climb on the roof and do that for you. I guess they wanted their lunch break. At least they replaced the cameras, THEY ruined.I took one of the old bricked cameras that I didn’t have to send back, and I re-flashed it with a clean update. That failed also, so whatever happened during the update is permanent. That’s another design flaw. There’s no way to reverse an update and fix a problem. That’s also a problem that should be addressed.Tech Support 3 or 4 stars–depending on who happens to answer the phone.Cam V3 (when it works) 4 starsConstant Updates 1 starCamera Software 3 starsWasting my time 1 starWifi issues 2 starsI’ll use them without EVER updating them again–at least until they force an update which they do from time to time. Maybe they have a hardware problem that needs fixing! When lots of people are reporting their cameras have bricked after updates, or after a power recycle, it’s not a random glitch. When I was buying the camera’s, Wyze didn’t mention anywhere in their advertisements or product descriptions that I needed to have them within 10 feet of my router, or whatever they think the maximum distance should be, for them to update properly. They didn’t say I had to have less than X devices connected to my wifi. Smart home devices (especially switches) show as connected even though they don’t degrade the wifi signal strength except for the split second when one is activated, and the loss of signal strength is marginal.The problem with their wifi strength argument is if my cameras are in a location where they have a constant, stable wifi connection 24/7 with no problems recording video to the micro SD card, then that should be adequate wifi connectivity for an update. The previous 10 updates completed with no problems. Again, they should be asking a lot of questions about why some updates and a few random power cycling events are bricking v3 cameras. There’s a solution to this problem, if they want to find it.

I like these little cameras! Setup was a breeze, picture quality is amazing, and the live feed is pretty much actually live (less than a 1 second delay for me, which was the best of all the newer cameras I tested – more about that below). Real time live video is important to me for various reasons. For example, one of my dogs keeps peeing in the house (marking), and if I can’t catch him just before he pees then he’s never going to learn to stop doing that. With a delay of even 3-4 seconds, I would be too late.These cameras are small and light. The base is magnetic and very adjustable, and there are also adhesive and screw-in options for mounting. Low light performance is exceptional – the IR night vision isn’t needed until it’s pretty much completely dark.The app is so-so.. it is responsive and more or less intuitive, and it does have all the basic capabilities needed. It just lacks some features that I would have liked. For example, you can’t fast forward through event videos or continuous recordings. To jump to other points you have to move a bar on the timeline.. it is very difficult to skip just a tiny bit ahead. I keep going too far, then going back too far or not far enough, and it’s a pain. You have to guess where to look for things.For this reason, continuous recording was not a great solution for me, because it was too hard to find events. Recording events only is better, but I’d still like the ability to fast forward, or to see the actual video as you move your finger along the timeline.Speaking of recording events only to your SD card: SD card recordings are NOT subject to the 12 second video/5 minute cooldown that you get with the free cloud recordings. If you choose “events only” in the settings, it will break time into 1 minute increments, and it will continue recording until motion stops. This wasn’t made clear in any of the documentation I could find, and the live chat agent gave me incorrect information. I almost gave up and returned these before even opening them, but first I decided to message them on Facebook. The Facebook messenger representative gave me the correct information and links to where I could find more detailed information on their website. So, crisis averted.The audio is pretty terrible in recorded events. It sounds like you’re talking from across a long tunnel while holding your hand over the microphone. When right up next to the camera outside, I can understand speech, but it still does not sound good. It is slightly better indoors. I don’t know what the sound is like for the live feed though, and I don’t know how it sounds when I talk through the camera. (I haven’t had anyone here to help me test things like that. The dogs won’t cooperate, they all want to be in the same room as me all the time).For me, the fact that there is almost no lag in the live video more than makes up for the shortcomings in audio. Plus the price is great — a lot more than they were before May, unfortunately, but still very competitively priced. As soon as they’re in stock anywhere, I’ll be adding two pan cameras for inside, and maybe their doorbell, depending on whether or not there is enough space on my door frame.Here are all the cameras I’ve had/tried, to give you all some comparisons. This will be long, but the summary is that between Dericam, Blink, Eufy, Eufy Solo, LittleElf, and Wyze, I liked the Wyze ones best.I did not test Ring because they are really expensive and have no options for local storage at all. You have to pay for a subscription for each camera if you want to view recordings. I didn’t test Arlo because they’re expensive and I hadn’t gotten to them yet. No need to do more testing now though, I’m keeping the wyze cameras.1. Original indoor cameras that I want to replace – Dericam 1080P P2, indoor pan/tilt, purchased in 2017. They’re old now and are showing their age, but there is virtually no lag time at all in the live feed, and you get all features and local storage without ever paying any fees. The app is kind of buggy and annoying (and slow by today’s standards), but these cameras served me well for 3-4 years. They are deteriorating now though, and it’s time for an upgrade.2. Blink mini outdoor, 5 camera kit (ordered on prime day, so I got a really good deal). The Blink cameras were really nice (image quality, sound, features, ease of installation), but I had a consistent 3 second delay in the live feed. (My network is not the issue.) It’s really too bad, those seemed perfect otherwise. I tried every single troubleshooting step and anything that other people mentioned having done in message boards. No difference though, I always had a 3 second delay, so I returned them.3. Littlelf 1080P, pan/tilt etc. Priced around what wyze cameras cost. As far as I can tell this company only makes indoor cameras, so I would have had to get a different brand for outside, and use two apps to keep track of my house. Not really want I want, but Lifflelf promised the ability to see multiple live streams at the same time, so I wanted to try them. That feature does work and is actually really nice. Good image quality (but not as good as the other newer ones), good audio, an app that was a little clunky but definitely usable… but I had a 4 second delay with these cameras, so they went back.4. Eufy – EufyCam E, 2-cam kit. These were by far the most expensive cameras I tried, but they promise a year of battery life, and I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get power outside at that point. The cameras seem really solid and well made. I had no trouble adding the homebase and camera, although I did have a lot of trouble creating my account in the first place. The app seemed less intuitive than Blink or Wyze – (not a dealbreaker), but worked. Image quality was great, sound was great, but I found that these had a 3-4 second delay. For the price, they would have had to be perfect.5. Eufy Solo IndoorCam P22 (pan/tilt), and Solo OutdoorCam C22 (which looks like a big eyeball, I really liked the design). The price of the indoor cameras was similar to Wyze, but their outdoor cameras were a lot more. I thought that since these cameras connect directly to wifi and not to a base, they’d be faster. I was wrong though, I had the same 3-4 second delay as with the other Eufy cameras. Video quality is great, but not as good as the wyze v3 in my opinion. Audio quality was really good with these. But the delay was a dealbreaker.The End. I applaud you if you got this far!
treasure hunter –
Have been using these cameras for several years. Bought the first in 2019 and stupidly bought more as the years progressed. Had a few stop working completely, had one that would not shut off, one would not record motion, the app logged me out and I could not log back in on my iPhone 12 because it gave the error message of ‘failed captcha’. No captcha even appeared at the longin window, just the failed message. DEFECTIVE app at the very least. Called for support, representative walked me through the entire procedure and it failed again. Followed the reps instructions: reset a whole bunch of setting on my iPhone, still cannot log in. Representative said she would escalate my case and I would receive an email with further instructions.Searching the internet for answers, I see many other people having the same issues. Tried all the fixes that were recommended on the various sites, rebooted the modem and the router, deleted and reinstalled the app, made sure my phone software and the app was the latest version. Still failed. Spent way too much time trying to make this junk product work.I can still login to my account on the web via a computer, but there is no way to control the cameras from there. Can’t delete any videos, can’t turn cameras off or on like you can in the app. So I un-plugged one of the indoor cameras (for privacy) that was connected to a Wyze smart plug, accidentally touched the reset button on the Wyze plug as I was pulling out of the wall socket, so now that has to be reset, which I cannot do because the app will not let me log in. Another STUPID design, to put the reset button on the side of the smart plug where you would naturally grab it to unplug.This started out as a good company for which I had high hopes, but is now tripping over their own feet in their hurried quest to innovate new before perfecting the old—just throw out the tried and true to make room for Ai and the future.UPDATE: Their tech support is good, they responded quickly. They just forgot to tell me about the Java setting, which must be enabled on the iPhone to allow you to log in. I found this info on the web and shared it with them. Hope this helps anyone else having this problem. Love to hate computers!
