Wyze has a 5 minute cool down period which makes the camera essentially useless. This is mentioned in the Wyze forum. You have to pay for the Wyze CamPlus subscription service to avoid the 5 minute cool down. Wyze gives away free/cheap razor (the camera) to sell you the blades (subscription).
Eufy 2K cam is so much better.

This is true unless you were an early adopter, you get grandfathered in on the free plus service. My main concern is the motion blur on the EUFYs because of the lower framerate. Just watching the comparison video above, more than likely a burglar would be in the home when blinds are closed and moving around a lot. With the blur, it was kind of hard to make out faces on the EUFY unless he stood or walked close to the camera. The WYZE seemed to handle that scenario much better. I would hate to have the camera capture the crime but not have a clear enough picture pf the perps face. Hopefully they can bump up the framerate on the EUFYs.

To be clear...
You get grandfathered into Wyze person detection not the Plus service, and only for the V2, V3 you have to pay. That was a really shit move on their part, made me cancel my 4 V3 preorders and look elsewhere.
I've had 10 Wyze V2 cams. 1 out right died, 2 the sensors are going white are pink/purple now with blurry edges, 4 corrupted the memory cards after a FW update causing me to pull them down and reformat in my PC. They were great when they came out, Wyze has fallen behind though... while the water resistance is nice on the new ones, I have mine in covered areas anyway so it's not a big deal. Color night time sensor is nice, but the IR lights on Eufy are already far better than V2 and where I need more light at night, I use an IR floodlight.

Anyone recommend a good cheap 128GB MicroSD card that will work will with these cameras?
Picked up 1 Samsung PRO Endurance 128GB for $20 around christmas time but is now $30 a card and need 2 for my kit.
Still waiting for a version that works with home base.
Hold the press, are you telling me these can't record to home base?? That's a safe assumption I made and almost ordered - if they don't what a shame and thank you for saving me $60.
Also Don't count on anker delivering any of their promises when buying BTW, window 10 app was promised years ago and still does not exist
Edit: sure enough in questions section Eufy responded 4 months ago that home base support is coming in "the future"

i bought the 32gb version of these sd cards but i have no complaints with them. I dont have continuous recording on my two of these cameras but the card itself is working fine for my needs.

Is the pan and tilt model much better than these? Outside of the tilt functionality
Camera quality is the same. If you find that placing this camera in a corner of a room is too far, the pan and tilt is a good option for placing towards the middle of the room.
I have a pan and tilt for my living/dining to span back and forth while the regular is in the corner of my kitchen.

I had to change my wifi password then has to redo the Wyze cam connection again. After that, my free grandfathered free detection mysterious disappeared as well. Wyze was a such a promised in the early day.
wyze v3 is an improvement over v2 but not an improvement over eufy. eufy has a very big advantage: built in Ai, 2K, notification speed . . .
the only thing wyze v3 has going for it is the water resistant, but that becomes irrelevant if the camera can not perform as expected.
Strongly disagree. Eufy has onboard person detection but even that is a tradeoff because you have to pay for cloud clips. Wyze offers free cloud storage for clips but charges for person detection so it's absolutely a wash between the two. Eufy video at 2k is more of an advertising thing and doesn't mean much because the Wyze V3 has a much better picture in all lighting conditions. The starlight sensor in the Wyze V3 also blows Eufy out of the water and completely tilts the decision towards Wyze. You get full color, high def video at night if you even have the slightest bit of ambient light. You can make out license plates, faces, etc. On a Eufy 2k at 20+ feet away, you're going to struggle to read a license plate or clearly make out a face.

The pan and tilt versions imo are better than these. The wires stick out and the sound is not as good as the P&T. Having the camera follow a person when detected automatically is worth the extra money.

This is incorrect. You can put in a Micro SD card and get continuous recording. The cloud clip storage is the component with a 5 minute cooldown, not the MSD recording. The CamPlus gives continuous recording to the cloud without cooldown and person detection for I think 2 bucks a month, which if you don't want to use a MSD is your option. Eufy doesn't offer any cloud clip storage without pay, so even at a 5 minute cooldown on the free tier Wyze still beats Eufy.
Eufy charges 3 bucks a month for 30 day cloud clip storage to a single camera. That means for 6 bucks a month you could have 3 Wyze V3's on CamPlus with a much better picture and a lower purchase price compared to only 2 Eufy 2k cams.

I have three eufy indoor cams with cheap SD card inserted, and am considering wireless cams (which have to have home base).

once you disconnect / it has a connection issue, good luck getting it to pair again
