"OG" is a newer version, not actually the original.
It is not eligible for the free Cam Plus Lite. Otherwise a decent camera.
That kills the deal for me. The OG isn't enough of an improvement over the V3 to warrant foregoing Cam Plus Lite, unless you're already willing to pay for the upgraded subscription services regardless.
I think my OG is still frame and 2 minute cool down. Also if you look back on the SD card events are marked but you can't start play back on the event.
Not going to buy any more of them for the reasons above.
5 min cool down, but very easy to start playback on the event, you can use the forward and back arrows to jump between events.
Does it work standalone? Or will it need a base/ main console to connect to WiFi?
Standalone all you need is Wi-Fi and this will connect directly to it. The OG is superior to the V3 The OG has faster notifications it comes up faster on the screen has Bluetooth has it built-in light has better quality at night I removed and sold most of my v3s and installed OG's in its place you can't go wrong for this price

What exactly do you get with a Cam Plus subscription that you don't get with no subscription? I think I heard there are no "smart" detections - people, animal, package, etc?

I have a fair amount of Wyze cams and am considering to start replacing them with another brand. What have you bought to replace these that are better without a subscription?

Like you said, no smart detection, no cloud back up, no native Web view, longer cool down, 2x,4x replay speed, smart event reports.
Since I have the free cam plus lite on my V2 and V3, I am sticking to Wyze. I wouldn't even consider Wyze if they take away the lite plan. This OG is not compatible with lite plan.

You do get smart detections and no cool down with a full subscription. I have 7 cameras (V2s, V3s) and have the Cam Plus Unlimited subscription. There was an old code on Slickdeals I used to buy my sub. Smart detections are person, friendly faces, pet, vehicle, package, crying, meowing, barking and talking. You can't use the OG camera in this deal even on the Cam Plus Lite plan. It would be worthless to me to receive a still shot and have to view the playback to retrieve what the motion was. The deal for 3 V3 cameras for $60 is much better in my opinion.

Eufy 2k cams. Local storage, no subscription, no cooling off period, 4:59 limit on clips that'll pick right back up with a new clip.
I can't find any info about rtsp firmware. I think this one don't have rtsp support. Can anyone confirm that is true? Or does anyone know if this one support rtsp? Thanks
