I have 3 of these and realized this really sucks when you want to review what happened.
Wyze Software always tries to upsell you on everything. Even with their premium plan you can't fast forward a recording? :smh:

Also highly recommended to put microSD cards in them & set it to continuous recording. That way you can manually see or make your own recordings as there's a 5 min cooldown between events.
Also know that these cams are pixel based. Meaning if one set of images are different from the next set, it'll count as motion & notify you. So beware of shadows, trees moving, etc. Their AI isn't great either, so just know what you're getting into/paying for.
If you only have CamPlus Lite, these original v3's are the last model to work with it. Since v4 came out, they've been pushing a lot sales on v3's most likely getting rid of inventory, so you may want to stock up on some backup v3 cams.
sdaddict gives a quick good overview there ..
my recommendation :
1) Get one good Dahua OEM or Hikvision OEM varifocal IP PoE camera with a 4MP 1/1.8" sensor ( you'll learn more with a good varifocal camera, you can buy cheaper cameras for the other cameras later )
2) Get a small PoE switch
3) Get a good longer patch cat5e/6 cable with copper wires of 23 or 24 AWG
4) setup a test rig ( you can search ipcamtalk for an example )
and start playing around with it ..
Look up the concept of DORI .. key to understanding what you can accomplish
( pixel density and quality matters )

I've seen the ads to upgrade, but I ignore them and have never paid anything more than the price of the cams and the microSD cards. Oh, I also bought some cheap window mounts that are pretty useful.
My neighbor has some Ring cams and pays a subscription, yet she can only see the clips that Ring records, whereas I have access to everything. Also, I think the video quality is nowhere near as good as my Wyze footage.
If your 2.4ghz channel width is set too high, lots of IoT devices hate this and won't stay connected.
But the V4's did just come out. So if you need WiFi 6 on 2.4ghz then get the newer ones. The older ones use the older 2.4ghz version.

Although it has privacy issues, every Chinese camera has them, lol. However, if privacy is a concern, this can be fixed by flashing custom RTSP firmware, allowing you to build your own internal camera server.
The only downside I can think of is may be the resolution. To be honest, you can get a 2K camera for this price, but without paying for a subscription, you can't record, use motion detection, or prevent your video feed from being shared with China. So, what's the point of having a security camera? Don't fall into this trap, man
