tl;dr: If you're planning on getting a V3 and subscribing to Cam Plus for a year, I'd say this deal is pretty slick.

If you are purchasing those many and getting free shipping, then its a good deal. However, if you don't need those many, the shipping price is really killing the deal in my opinion! They should really consider offering free shipping as introductory offer. At least for the pre-orders.
you want them to offer free shipping , when they can't even offer free human detection
Currently using multiple v2 w/mSD cards and not paying additional fee
It is true that without Cam Plus you would be without the human detection AI. However, the motion detection is still there (although the notification can get slow). If a human being is moving around, the motion detection picks it up. If you do not mind your pets triggering the alert on occasion, you can get away without the human detection.
For me, the main attractiveness of Cam Plus is its ability to keep recording on a cloud without the cooldown periods. The human detection is just an added benefit to me. A microSD card? Yes, all of our Wyze cams have the mSD cards, but if any of the cameras were stolen, you would only get those 12-second clips with a cooldown as "evidence." Cam Plus makes me feel more secure as a backup records keeper. Just saying.
You may have heard that one of those sales is getting a free v3 with the purchase of the annual Cam Plus license that is only for first-time Cam Plus subscribers. Well, with this $10 off, you can pretty much get the same thing... 😏
Here is the math behind the promotion:
A new Cam Plus customer buys Cam Plus on the promotion for $23.88. Then, they get a coupon for $19.99 to buy a new Wyze Cam v3. They pay shipping for the v3 which is $5.99, bringing their total cost for a year of Cam Plus and a Wyze Cam v3 to $29.87 (+ tax).
You can almost get this same promotion with this $10 off code. This lets you buy a Wyze Cam v3 for $9.99 + $5.99 shipping. Then you can head over and get a new annual Cam Plus license at our current promotional price of $14.99, bringing your total to $30.97 (+ tax).
This would be $1.10 more, but you also get the added flexibility to use the $10 on whatever you want and to just buy the device.
New cam + Cam Plus for $30? Yasssss! 🙌
Use this code during checkout on Wyze.com to get your $10 off. It lasts until Dec. 15th.
Wyze is instantaneous for me. I walk in front of the camera and get a notice right at that moment
The Wyze cams, except for Wyze Outdoor, are powered by the AC outlet, so they can be set to either event or continuous recording. Cameras that are powered by internal batteries are usually restricted to event recordings only because these cameras cannot sustain the power demand of continuous recording.
All of our Wyze cams (v2 and Pan) are set to the continuous recording mode. We also have a non-Wyze event-only recording camera outside of our house. We use the latter because there is no power source where it is installed. The event recording is fine for our purpose in that particular spot. This camera can record up to one minute per event clip. We get the info we need with that.
However, when we receive the v3 (we have 2 on order), these will be set up outside and on the continuous recording mode because there is a power source for each. We prefer the continuous recording, but there is not always a nearby power source, and that is when we settle for the event recording because the hardware demands it.

I believe those people who are complaining. Their experience is different.
The timing of motion detection notification is probably a function of multiple factors.
It simply does NOT work
Notification latency is 11-12 seconds as well. Imagine you tie this with smart light and it lights up 12 seconds later
