I use three of them, since I don't have many outdoor plugs or easy access to my attic. They work great, until a power outage, in which case I almost always have to manually flip the light switches that control the lights I have them plugged into (exterior garage/house lights) to re-link them - note, the cam comes back on, the light control seems to not work after an outage. Otherwise, a great solution for my use case. The sockets come with a cable, maybe 6 feet long? If you need longer, then you may want to check online posts for reliable cables in the length you need. I actually could use shorter ones, but made due for now. Are they perfect? No, but they work pretty well and my lights are set to come on automatically from dusk to dawn, so that's great.

Thanks. I am trying to update garage and backyard lights and v3 came. Hopefully it will go on sale soon.

It's not about the information. It's about sending a message.

also check "TikTok shop". annoyingly sometimes those prices are better.

What's this TikTok shop. I faintly remember someone mentioned the same for some Newegg deal.
Do I need to download their app and create account to make use of TikTok shop deals?

Dumb post.

Use your spare microSD cards and you'll never need any type of subscription. The only minor annoyance is that when reviewing footage there's a five minute delay against real time.

I only use their cameras and they crush any others ounce for ounce.

5 minutes delay? That's a long time. Do you mean 5 seconds?

No. 5 minutes.

Meaning if I'm reviewing at 11:53, the most recent playback would go up to 11:48

Warning: Wyze is a scummy company and notorious for bait and switch. They are the equivalent of printer companies with how they will sell you the gateway device cheap , with freebies and features initially, then switch most if not all features to paid / subscription model leaving the unit near worthless and useless unless you continue to pay fees perpetually.

I disagree with that critique. I've found them to be very credible.

I don't have to trust them. I have PayPal and credit card reimbursement in case of fraud.

TikTok is a social media app.
Wyze has paid hundreds of shills to promote their stuff on it. TikTok integrated a marketplace to buy directly through TikTok
Right now pretty good discounts on multiple wyze things.
But you'll need to download the app and make an account.
Fyi TikTok has been linked to a lot of privacy concerns so Ymmv if you want to bother

These don't look like good deals at all to me. Wyze cams used to sell for as low as $15–20 at a discount. I know, inflation and all, but $30 is too much, IMO. Maybe I've been spoiled by previous Wyze gens, when it was still trying to establish its brand by selling for cheaper.

Correct. Home Depot sold 2-pack V3 for the ~$36 bucks last year

People wanting to use the camera's for RTSP and not wanting to deal with Wyze's firmware should look at https://github.com/gtxaspec/wz_mini_hacks which has a method to boot off the microsd card running custom firmware.

Can you please share specific examples?

It wasn't always subscription based. All the features were included for free.

I have 2 Wize Pan cameras that are ALWAYS offline. Reboot and fine for a couple of hours, then back offline. They say to check power and network. Added another access point about 9 feet away and using the included power block. Nope. Swapped the power from a different Wize Came (V2 and OG). Nope. Offline.

Have automation to power cycle the unit 2x per day. It's still always offline. This is the 2nd unit. Both same issues. The OG, V2 and V3 have been great so far though.

Anyone have any tips?

Looking at the Pan V3, but hate to buy another problem.
