Is Waze cam OG really v1 of the camera? even though they're currently selling v3 right now.

I wanted to order the pan v3 but I'm not downloading tiktok. Oh well I'll wait for the next deal.

I am not getting free shipping

I have all of these except the Gaming Headset.

TikTok is literally throwing away money any people as they try to entice customers and merchants to their matchmaker platform to work similar to Amazon Hosting different sellers. The prices are crazy on there sometimes as they work hard to get people to join. Wyze is one of the top sellers so they're often giving crazy deals on Wyze stuff there.

FYI, The OG is a way better camera than the price implies. Wyze admitted in a recent AMA that they actually lose money off every OG purchase because they keep it priced below cost so it's an easy entry level into their platform. But it's really fast responding compared to all other models, has a spotlight, and Picture-in-Picture options that other cams don't. It's an awesome deal. Only downsides I know of are the following:

1. It is limited to 2 simultaneous live streams at a time (not a big deal for most people)
2. It has been reported that the SD card recording sometimes stops if internet connectivity goes out.

To my knowledge, neither of those things apply to the other cameras, just the OG, but other than that, the OG is worth the cost even at full price, let alone half off!

The Lock Bolt is my Wife's favorite Wyze device. The fingerprint reader is quick and accurate and it lasts a long time and has a failsafe of being able to connect a battery by USB cord if the batteries die, but it doesn't have internet connectivity (exception being that you can pair it to the Video Doorbell Pro which will allow it to be unlocked remotely), but it does have rolling temporary codes you could give a guess to enter if needed. Just no notifications, etc. Still a pretty great device though.

I use the Wyze buds EVERY DAY and take them with me everywhere.

Do the OGs come with Cam Plus Lite?

No, so if you want Cam Plus Lite, then you'll want a V3.

The main points of why someone might prefer the V3:

• V3 supports some accessories that the other cameras don't (ie: Garage Door controller, Smart Lamp Sockets)
• V3 supports Cam Plus Lite so you can get a 12-second cloud recording and free person detection notifications as often as once every 5 minutes without having to pay for the full Cam Plus subscription.
• A lot of people don't care about this so much because both will still record to the SD card anyway, so you can always view everything there anyway, but free Person detection is nice if you don't want to pay a monthly fee.
• Some people like the color/brightness better on the V3 (I believe it takes in more light and some people feel it more accurately represents images in the way they prefer)
• V3 has a better field of view
• V3 uses a mount with a magnet (easy to mount anywhere) and a standard camera mount hole, so you can easily use a different 3rd party mount for it
• V3 can do more than 2 simultaneous live-streams on different devices (OG is limited to 2). This doesn't matter for most people, but it does for some.

Other than that, the 2 are either the same, or the OG is better.

In an AMA, one of the cofounders indicated the point of the OG was to make it as affordable as possible as their "Entry Level" camera. The V3 would be their "mid-range" and then they will have a "Pro" line.

The OG has a lot of things going for it.

• It loads and notifies way faster (uses Free RTOS for the OS instead of Linux)
• SIGNIFICANTLY better speaker and microphone (much more clear and better sensitivity)
• It can do Picture in Picture viewing with another OG
• Built in spotlight
• Seems to be better waterproofed: while most people have perfect experiences with the V3's, (some people have had V3's get water in through the SD card port (especially if mounted upside-down), or fogged up lenses (especially if the lense is pointed up to the sky)
• OG is a better price

In short, if you don't need accessories, and you don't need the free person detection, then the OG is definitely highly recommended for you over the V3. Otherwise, stick with the V3.

Got the pan V3s on the last TikTok sale but had to use other's accounts as I don't have it. I want the free Cam Plus Lite found with the regular V3. Is that on sale too?
