I just bought a Ring indoor cam from the recent BF deal. I haven't had time to even open it let alone play with it.
I'm just wondering if this Wyze cam is better than the Ring one?
Basically I need 2 or 3 cams only for my house. I guess Wyze charges streaming / video per camera. Should I go with Wyze or Ring?

It is neither of those things anymore.

I'm perfectly happy with the Wyze with an SD card and no subscription, but some want other features that require the subscription.
With wyze you can watch all the live video you want, and also stream recorded video from the SD card, no extra cost. If you want a video clip recorded for each "event" into the cloud without SD card, that costs a monthly or yearly fee (fairly nominal fee though as you can usually get coupons to bring it under $2 a month per cam, or $80 to $90 a year for unlimited cams).
OG has:
- Setup is easier/faster (you only do it once anyways)
- Better mic and speaker
- 3x loading faster feed in app
- PiP (Picture in Picture)
- Slightly louder mini siren
- LED light
- Some would say better image quality as well

I do wish the cool down could be removed for SD card use, but the way these are designed, every event has to send a clip to the cloud for analysis, then a still image is stored from that clip, so it uses a good chunk of bandwidth for each event, even if all you see is a still frame.
Let's be honest, at this price point, they want you to pay for a subscription, and they're not going to go out of their way to give you less reasons to do that.
After having them for 6 months, I honestly don't think I'd want an event more than every 5 minutes. Most of my cameras are picking up frequent motion as they are outside, and the ones that are in areas that have infrequent motion, an alert that something moved there, plus the fact that I have 24x7 recording to SD card, that is all I need, if there are 2 events within 5 minutes, the video is there, I just have one picture instead of 2, no biggie.
so no...24/7 absolutely does NOT "destroy it quickly"
I don't want cloud storage
Don't have that issue with the eufy cams.
And that's why I ditched them
The event recording doesn't make much sense if you have 24x7, but I don't want that. I only need to record motion events. And if motion continues, I want it to continue recording. If not, don't record. Wyze can do this, but they won't because of the subscription model they created. And I don't pay for subscriptions that I don't have to, so I ditched them, enjoyed the quick hammer blows I gave my Wyze V2, and moved to a better platform.
Again, each has its place, people need to evaluate what is best for them. Some people need a Corolla, some need a 1 ton truck.
The people that pay big money for nest or ring only to have to pay even more to make them useful, those I don't understand.
