All Wyze products after a certain date require a paid subscription to do anything (like 12-seconds video clip notification, some AI motion detection, etc). The v3 cam was before that date. Everything released after that need paid subscription for most basic features mentioned (like AI detection). The v4, the v3 pro, etc.
If you want to avoid paying for subscription fee, Tapo/TP-Link/Kasa camera is a better option at around the same price as this and NO more 5-mins cool down and lack of AI detection.
Tapo by TP-Link 2K QHD Security Camera, Indoor/Outdoor, 2024 PCMag editor's choice, Color Night Vision, Free Person/Pet/Vehicle Detection, Invisible IR Mode, SD Storage, C120

Click "SD Card" and you can select what time you want to see.
Works better than it did in the past. Not sure if thats a software update or the newer camera.

Check out Reddit for people's experiences.
Over the past few days, my camera has been offline - regardless of several power cycles for troubleshooting.
I'm glad I just use it to check in on my dog when I'm at work - I'd be annoyed if it was for anything important.
My Doorbell v2, floodlight pro, and v3s are working just fine.

How are these for those who have tried them out? I'm using v3 cams now all around. Heard they're worth the upgrade.
Also- my current v3 cams are mounted around my property in these little mount cases. Has the form factor changed enough to make those not work? Maybe the power cord changed places? They're pretty tight fitting so I imagine it wouldn't take much change to make them not fit.
Kinda makes me think of Apple and how they change the connectors and all that every few generations so you have to buy new adapters and cords haha… oh well. At least these I can reprogram via Bluetooth once they go up.
In for 4, anyway. Thank you for the post!

You're still wrong. I have a V4 and can review footage from the SD card.
