Yeah; I have two WYZE (other models)

The subscription-based business is a total BS.
End up you'll pay so much more, with the gimmick of selling cheap cameras to lure you from the beginning

That doesn't match what's on Wyze's website. Cam plus is $3 per month per camera. The $10 per month plan cover unlimited cameras

Quote from BrianB2108 :
For Video production Reason whats the lag and is this lan only
Video production? This is a security camera. It runs off wifi only and requires an internet connection. Compression is massive, significantly affecting the quality of moving objects (or everything while the cam itself is moving), lag is not too bad for a security camera but it is not something you're going to shoot a movie with.....

I love this cam, have two of them for a year now, but I would not be recording anything for "production" with it.

Isn't this always on sale? I'd be careful buying it from Amazon. It is more than like used, refurbished, or open-boxed. Keep that in mind with all of Amazon's sales.
You're thinking of Amazon Warehouse.

All Wyze cams, even ones you buy off their site, ship from Amazon. I've gotten 8, some from Amazon, some from Wyze directly, all shipped from Amazon. Even a warranty replacement they sent came from Amazon.

And yes this $30 price is not uncommon.

How hard is it to install it if it's wired? Imagine no experience at all.


You could use this like a wireless wyzecam? How is this compared to the other wyzecam that is wireless?
The power cord is thin and flat and can be run through a window, all of mine are set up that way and the windows close and lock completely. One runs through the top of a garage door and no issues there either.

Just make sure you use drip loops in the power cable to prevent water from running along the wire into the camera or under your window. The bracket routes the cable so that it prevents this on the cam side if installed correctly, and in most window setups it is very easy to just leave a bit of slack, and the window itself probably has a slanted sill making it no concern anyway.

Cam itself has a bracket that screws in place then the cam attaches to it.

The wireless cams eat through batteries and will have lower image quality/framerate/etc to try and conserve battery life. Definitely hardwired power is the way to go if you can.

I have owned over 30 Wyze cams, and currently use 15. This is one of their worst products. No, I don't have a WiFi issue. This specific camera has some horrid connection issues regardless of the placement and goes offline until rebooted almost daily.
Opposite for me, I have one in a very poor signal strength area (-70 to -72db) and it works great. Never goes offline and other than my normal weekly scheduled reboot, never have to restart it. Sounds like you just have a bad cam.

Quote from JazF :
The v4 camera is awesome and great picture but you get absolutely no features unless you pay for the ai feature. Without it, it alerts you of every motion. Unlike the previous cameras which allowed you to get person detection only for a lower cost. Now it's all under the same cam plus which is $10 a month for each camera. That's more expensive than Ring cameras which allow unlimited cameras for one price.
No idea where you're getting $10 a month per cam from. If you pay monthly it is $3 per cam or $13 for unlimited cams. If you pay yearly it goes down to $1.66 per cam or $10.83 for unlimited.

I use mine with just SD card and with tweaking of detection zones etc they work very well. If I was getting alerts for every motion event, yes it would be annoying and I would want to pay for the AI features, but I'm not doing that, I have specific cams with very specific zones that alert me, the rest just log events with no alert.

What issue? I have this model and the older ones and I can pull them up on both my echo show 5 and 8 currently.
Congrats. When I say, Echo show 'window', it always says "Hmmm....the camera is not responding."

All my V2 cams work with Echo Show 5.

I have had 3 v3 cams (all returned) and none of them worked with Echo Show.

No subscription is required, it is optional.

is this camera actually bit tall so when i placed it under my window inside living room, i can raise it up to capture video through the window outside?
thanks
The top half of the camera would have to have visibility out the window. It won't look "up and over" something.

Quote from beenwatchin4awhile :
Don't do it. I almost got this to replace a failing fleet of the cam v2's. Primary reasons:
1. They had an opportunity to embrace rtsp and chose to ditch it.
2. People have seen others feeds in the app, Google it.
3. Everything is behind a paid service by the time you get what you started out wanting

Other than that, they worked for a while in demanding heat. Got tired of having to use alt firmware to keep the rtsp live for on prem home security and ha purposes. Testing out a eufy, which checks all the boxes out of the box. So far I'm pleased.
Ring and Blink have had similar issues with people seeing others cams. With the Wyze incident, it was a still image only and they responded very quickly to disable it. The other two have been long term video feeds where people were even able to talk through the camera and take control etc. I'd be surprised if there haven't been any similar issues with Eufy yet, but if not, I'm sure it will happen at some point.

Cheap cloud cams, regardless of brand, are not for use in areas where privacy is a concern. Their attack surface is large and they are prone to security glitches.

I have everything I want with the Pan v3 and I pay nothing other than $12 for a good quality micro SD card.

Stopping support for RTSP and Cam Plus Light is not at all surprising since they have been very up front with the fact that they are now pricing their cameras at or below cost in order to try to increase subscriber revenue. If RTSP is important, Wyze is not the cam brand you want to use.

Seriously I got a couple of these for under $30 and I'm blown away for what they do for the price.

Quote from jeansample :
This is the worst of all the wyze cams I've owned. I have one mounted outside, and every month or so it ends up pointing downward (it is hanging upside down from the eve of the house) and when I try to re-point it in the app, it just says something like "limit reached". I have to physically rotate/move the camera part (without moving the base) to the correct position before I can move it in the app again. It also misses most motion events, not recording anything in the cam plus cloud.

On an unrelated topic, the one feature I find in Wyze cams that I love is the time-lapse recording. I haven't seen this in any other brand of cameras in this price range.
Don't mount it upside down, even under an eave. Water will get in, learned the hard way. They are not IP65 when upside down. Even though I put dielectric grease around the power plug boot, it got in around the circular base where the cam rotates. The cam would pan to its limit and freeze up, or not boot up at all. Bag of rice dried it out and it works again now, but is now mounted rightside up and no issues since.

Quote from Kalix2300023 :
What's the "+AI" mean and difference w the non AI? Is it built in? Isn't the AI part of the Cam Plus subscription?
Just means it includes the cam plus subscription for a few months. There is no diff with the cam itself.

I'd recommend doing the 30 day free trial separately, and if you like it, pay for a year at a time which cuts the cost way down ($20 per year per cam or $130 for unlimited cams).

Quote from Wayno-san :
I picked up one of these and have pointing out the window at my front porch. Observations so far; keep in mind I've had limited time to mess around with it:
  • I do not like that the included bracket does not have a way to mount it to a horizontal surface
  • Since it's presently pointing out the window, I have the IR emitter turned off, but even then, the night footage is better than expected. Might even be sufficient if I leave it like this.
  • Detection picks up street cars and people walking on the sidewalk... unsure if detection distance can be changed so it only picks up action on the porch/driveway
  • I had to reduce the sensitivity as it motion of tree branches was setting off alerts
  • Speculative: Not sure this would survive if completely exposed outside once it starts snowing/freezing
  • I've had no drop-out issues
  • I can access video with Amazon Echo Show (but the Echo Show sucks and I do not recommend it)
The original bracket could be mounted to a flat surface, they changed the bracket at some point, but you can still drill holes toward the back and make it work. You have to attach the cam first, then use a long screwdriver or bit to screw the whole thing down. I have one mounted this way. Mine has been outside exposed to heat, rain, and snow and cold all winter, with nothing covering or protecting it, and no issues with that one at all. Another that I had mounted upside down under an eave did get water in it after about 6 months (had a driving rain storm), definitely mount them right side up if outside.

The thing that can be a bit confusing is if you're using the "track motion" feature, which most people are, the "detection settings" really have no impact on that. They only impact when an "event" is captured and logged. I don't think the sensitivity even affects the track motion (it might, but in my setup it didn't seem to make much/any diff). So mine frequently tracks headlights driving by 50 feet away, outside of the detection zone, but does not log any event. Really the only way to affect the track motion feature is where you set the "home" position to be, trying to exclude areas with motion you don't want to trigger the tracking.

There are plenty of systems out there for what you're talking about. Heck you can walk into costco and they've got several systems on display you can choose from. But it isn't going to cost just "a bit" more.

If you don't mind, which POE camera setup to you recommend? I really need to update my old LaView poe cameras and nvr. I did originally run all the cameras with cat6a. Better night vision is first on the list, had a few issues over the years and couldn't make out the person and it's always at night. I don't need audio or the ability to pan. Audio would be a bonus though on one of the cameras maybe but not required.
I really appreciate your time and knowledge.

If Wyze is better than that poster's POE system, I would not be asking them for recommendations on a POE system.....

Wyze is great but it definitely can't compete with even a halfway decent POE/NVR setup.
