Wyze Cam v3 1080p HD Indoor/Outdoor Security Camera with Color Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Wyze Cam v3 1080p HD Indoor/Outdoor Great product. Great picture. Free app. Affordable subscription. Worth it.

My Dad's been using Wyze cams around the house for a number of years already. Before buying my own, I'd already seen the v3's performance and was pleasantly surprised. Decided to bite the bullet and order some. I was going to begin bringing my dog over the road with me and wanted to be able to keep an eye on him while I was out of the truck and be able to look over the footage if anything ever happened. I've used it on and off and rather like it. Night vision is great, app UI is simple and easy to use. Honestly never quite figured out motion and sound triggers on the cameras, they never quite give me what I want but seeing as the cameras see constant movement that's a moot point in this use case. I *hate* the video recording on the app. I cannot believe I cannot chose a beginning and end timestamp and let it do it's thing. I have to sit through the play-through from beginning to end and cut it in real time. It's a pain and long recordings seem to make the app stutter after a while. Needless to say, a nice tool in my case. Not perfect, could use some tweaks, but it's still very nice. My mounting is done using RAM mounts threaded into the 1/4"-20 hole on the bottom, power provided by my 12v USB charger.

Tengo 6 meses con él producto. Incluso instale 2 afuera de mi casa a una altura aproximada a 3 metros de altura, pero ya llovió en múltiples ocasiones, y se mantienen fijas y sobretodo funcionando en todo momento…. tuve que hacer unas perforaciones para que el cable quedase escondido, y un punto muy importante como sugerencia es comprarle una tarjeta micro sd para guardar de forma continua y así poder visualizar videos en un rango de tiempo.

Awesome picture quality. Easy to setup and awesome app makes this a awesome buy. I used one for my fishtank when I'm overseas so I could enjoy the view. So awesome I bought two!

I was skeptical at first that a $35 camera would be a good choice for me to use year round outside as a security cam, but I can say now that they work flawlessly for that exact use case. I started planning where to install my first Wyze V3, and the obvious choice was under my eaves to monitor my driveway/front yard. The factory mount does allow you to mount upside down and rotate side to side, however it doesn't allow you to level the camera. So while it worked as is, I wanted to look at level footage, so I ended up picking up one of these mounts (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Z7WHDX2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) which allowed me to mount the camera and orient it correctly. Next up was power, these cameras are powered via USB and a USB brick. Luckily the area I wanted to mount under my eaves had attic access. I tapped off existing power and installed a GFCI on a stud in the attic and drilled a small hole in the soffit to run the cable down through. I purchased an SD Card and the Cam Plus subscription and started tinkering. The Wyze V3 gives you the ability to adjust detection settings for both motion and audio, set a sensitivity for both, and allows you to set a detection zone for motion. This was crucial for me since my camera captures our dead end and our neighbors driveway, I didn't really want a bunch of clips of my neighbor coming and going or cars turning around in the dead end. But it's granular enough that I was able to include our mailbox in the detection zone so I could see when the mail was delivered. You can also choose to record on motion, sound, both, or neither. Once I got one working the way I wanted another was inevitable, and this time it got initially used as a crate cam for a puppy we were fostering. The camera worked great in low light to be able to keep tabs on him and ensure he was safely resting in his crate. The audio worked perfectly to know when he was being fussy, and the two way audio and being able to talk to him through the camera was comedy gold for the head tilts of not knowing where the voices were coming from. The crate camera served its purpose and eventually got promoted to a backyard camera to keep tabs on the dogs when they went out. I used the same mount as I did with the one under the eaves, except this one I used a siding clip to create mount points for the base of the cam mount to attach to. Unlike the front yard cam this one would be exposed directly to the elements/sun 24/7. I purchased a longer flat USB cable and ran it through a window and closed the window on it, making sure to leave a drip loop below the camera. I wasn't sure how long it would last but figured it's only $35. More than 6 months later this camera is still functioning perfectly and has had zero issues. Our backyard is probably 100' long or so and the night vision works great for things within 50-75' of the camera. Things on the edges you can see motion but not much definition. Last point is that I chose these for the Google Home function and they do work, albeit with a little lag. I can ask google "show me the backyard camera", it'll take 10-15 seconds to load, but it will show a live view on my Google Home Hub which is really great! I highly recommend these cameras for indoor and outdoor use. The price is right, the cost of the Wyze CamPlus subsciption is even right, I can't fault $20/yr for two cameras in the least bit.
