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

Works better than it did in the past. Not sure if thats a software update or the newer camera.
HTH
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.

Well, I still have the original door bell button but the chime was removed long ago.
If they can't read then they can push the button all they want or try knocking.
My Wyze cam (v2) is above the door and I have one of those USB light bulb adapters. The lights are always on because they are smart bulbs. Then I had to invest in those light switch covers to keep someone from flicking the switches off inside.
Maybe I should have just bought the doorbell camera? 🤣
I don't really need this, but I currently have a few V2's and V3's around my house for security purposes. V3 is head and shoulders above the V2, but I still would like higher resolution on my V3 for viewing vehicles driving by or pulling in and V3 is almost there but not quite. For 26 bucks it's worth it to try it out and I'm a tech guy so it's fun to mess around with these things. Same day delivery too... pretty gratifying.

I still have 3 v3 Cams, and looking to get more. Does the v4 Cam integrate with the Cam Plus Lite that I'm enrolled in?

No cam plus lite, no cameras have been able to do cam plus lite since like 2021

Would this be a good camera for that?
Is there a desktop pc webpage I can view from or just on my phone?
It drives me crazy because it does not have it when I need to check important footage! I have to format the SD cards and they start recording and playback is available until the SD gets full.
What is the issue? Are the SD cards causing the problem?

I have two of their outdoor cams (a v1 and a v2) and the base station. I tried putting sims in the base station and in the cameras themselves, but for the life of me I cannot figure out a way to get them to record. Even just events don't get recorded. I get a notification that there has been an event and when I go to check, on the V1 cam I get a 7s clip, and on the V2 I just get a photo from the event, but no video. I've tried looking through every conceivable option I can find. Am I just still missing it or am I SOL if I don't pay for the services?
FWIW I have the indoor cams and they work just fine recording to SD.
Wish I could be more help, but the only cameras I have used are v4, v3, pan v3, OG, battery cam pro, and floodlight v1. Never used one that requires a base station.
