Overall it works, but I feel like the wyze cameras could be better. For a real security system I'd go with another camera. For watching my cats it's fine

Received my order today and just 1 was in the package. Obviously I'm emailing Woot support to fix it...just curious if anyone else had the same issue.

The floodlights came in it's original retail packaging but was clearly repacked. No obvious scuff marks or scratches on any of them. Seems like did spend time checking and refurbing these returns before sending them back out.
Came with a new accessories pack and had installation stickers on the floodlight module. The wires also seem new and never been twisted before.
The wyze cameras did not have a protective sticker on the lens but no issues with them.
Installed all 3 yesterday, everything is working as expected. Still trying to work out the sensitivity of the PIR and motion sensors. But based on some research,it seems like there may be some issues with the PIR sensor in general regardless if this was new/refurbished.
Overall. Pretty pleased with this set given the price point. This is more feature rich, less buggy and cheaper than the ones I replaced (Feit floodlight cams).
Hope this helps folks decide if it is worth saving another $10 each getting refurbed vs new on sale. Overall saved me $30 going down the refurbished path.

It's good you have multiples to compare the PIR sensing between them.
I bought one (new) and I've found it highly insensitive compared to the dumb motion floodlight it replaced. Even with all sensitivity settings cranked up to max. But most video reviews seem to say it's too sensitive, so I don't know if I got a dud.
One tip: PIR sensitivity is linked to the camera's motion detection sensitivity as well. Does not make sense why they'd do that, but I read about Wyze support saying so and tested it for myself to be true (you can compare by temporarily setting the camera's motion detection sensitivity to the extremes...100 and 1).

I didn't have this problem with the feits which I paid $65 for at Costco.

I ordered 3x outdoor smart plugs (shipment weight was only 1.5lbs) and 4x wyze v3 cams (shipment weight was 1 lb). Clearly these shipments won't contain the right qty of items.
I think they realized that they made mistakes when fulfilling orders and are trying to recall all in-flight shipments.
No issues with items shipped out from their Arlington, TX location (yet).
