WYZE Wireless Outdoor/Indoor Battery Security Camera, 2.5K HDR Color Night Vision, Integrated Spotlight & Siren, Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio, Alexa & Google Assistant Compatible, Free Expert Support

I bought this WYZE security camera, and so far, it has worked excellently. The image quality is very clear, both day and night, and the night vision is incredibly helpful for keeping an eye on my home's entrance. Installation was quick and simple; plus, it includes all the necessary accessories for easy mounting. I like its compact, modern design, and the battery offers good longevity. The app is user-friendly and allows me to review recordings from my phone without any hassle. Considering the price, I think it is a very good option for keeping your home secure. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a practical, reliable camera with good video quality.

I have been a WYZE cam customer for a long time. I will say that it’s been a hit/miss with some products by this company.. I hope my review will let you make a more informed choice.. So I will keep my review unbiased and try to focus on specific qualities of this cam.. First thing, this cam is wireless, it will need to be connected to the internet via WiFi and the WYZE app… This camera comes with a battery that can be charged while inside the camera.. OR you can plug a USB-C cord right into the pack- and it does come with a power cord. This allows you to have a little more flexibility on how to re-charge the battery. I have not had any issues with power with my outside cam due to having my camera receiving power from the Wyze Solar Panel ..the cam fully charged in less than a day and has not been under full power since. My second battery cam that was charged via usb-c, I performed a settings adjusted via WYZE app to reduce the power consumption due to the light on this camera being VERY BRIGHT. That seems the have did the trick- cam has been holding charge for 2 1/2 months and can probably go several more since it is now around 50% battery life. The quality of image from this camera is highly detailed and will definitely capture someone in the middle of darkness, due to the highly sensitive sensors that will trigger the light/recording. Camera can also identify what it is, and will send alerts directly to your device letting you know what triggered the cam. Features I use included with the WYZE cam app are the alerts, and the app offers a paid version of cloud storage to gold up to 2 weeks of event video clips. The free version gives users up to 2 weeks of saved images, but will still allow you to access recorded content as long as you have a memory card installed on the camera. I, personally- like to just record my own clips which the app also allows me to save and share. The barrier/zone selection gives users a way to select an area that will trigger the camera- this comes in handy if cam faces out towards a street with high movement/traffic. This also cam lets you talk to whoever is on the other end of the shot, which makes it easy to communicate with someone knocking at the door. Sound quality is clear and very loud- no static with a great internet connection, in my experience. I enjoy using this camera as a way to monitor deliveries and visitors to my home. The bright flood light also makes it much easier to see while trying to unlock my door at night. I keep a second one in the backward, currently unmounted due to not having decided if I will be getting a second wyze solar panel, yet.. The mounting equipment the cam has included was perfect.. I had actually purchase a different set of mounts that I ended up not needing .. the ones that come with the camera are great quality and easily installed. A pro AND con is that the camera is not able to pan, so the direction it faces when installed will be the only direction it will face until you move it. If you want a cam that pans/moves while you are away, this will not work for you.. If you are looking for a cam that has a large coverage area and will stay put, this cam will work for you!! For the price, the quality and features of this cam throws the competition out of the water, I recommend this WYZE cam to everyone. I will definitely be buying more here soon. Hope my review helps, happy shopping.

Wow, a big tree came down, took out the powerline and took out the pole my cam was attached to. Like it had scraped off an ear. Dang it, it was no longer connected. While moving some of the limbs, I could see a light. It was my cam. Seemed to be OK, just lost connection, still had half of the base attached. Where the USB C power line (to solar panel) was attached, it had been ripped out, but not damaged. I reset it, reconnected, and put it back on the pole, in a new spot. Works great. Just like DJT, , takes a licking, and keeps in ticking. I was just notified that my review was cancelled due to

This was a good camera, very functional, straightforward to set up and use. However, I’m giving up on this model and perhaps the Wyze brand altogether due to issues with longevity. All the features and functionality were fine, for about 12-18 months, after which it unexpectedly died. I had two cameras, one that died unexpectedly after 17 months, so I replaced it with another that died after 14 months. The camera went from functioning fine to suddenly dead with no response to anything, no lights, nothing. No amount of factory reset attempts nor troubleshooting would lead to a resolution of the issue. Mine was mounted outside, with a solar panel charging it. I never had any battery issues, it was used in Florida with plenty of sun to keep it charged. I have 5+ year old outdoor/solar cameras of another brand and they just work and that’s the main feature I need out of a camera.

Update 5 to a 4 I have a lot of Wyze cam products ranging in devices. This product I went in on with 5 units along with their solar panel adjustments. They were more than accommodating when one of the units was missing a piece of the mounting hardware and sent me a new panel unit. Amazing customer service. About two or three weeks later about 2-3 months after install 2 of the 5 units scattered in the yard began having battery problems. I suspect this due to dropping from 90-80% to 7% in a day when there is little motion events to set off the cameras because these are the ones mounted in the backyard. The two units facing the street where a car drives by every 5 minutes and sets off the maxed out spotlights work perfectly and recharge regularly from the solar panel and hasn’t dropped below 98%. The two units with battery trouble I recharged directly from wall and they both depleted rapidly same places in low movement and sound areas. I relayed this to a different customer service rep and they were not helpful whatsoever because it has to be settings that are wrong….. when all 5 cameras have the exact same settings but 2 out of the 5 in low traffic areas are the ones rapidly depleting batteries. To put them in perspective I also own a outdoor cam v2 and it’s more solid gets set off fairly frequently and doesn’t get recharged from a solar panel and it has dropped below 60% after 2 and a half months. But yeah it’s gotta be settings. I’ve Wyze cams from V1 to V2, v2&v4 pans, telephoto, and now a couple of battery pros the battery dropped from 100% to 88% after about 6 days with it at max settings. I installed the solar panel so I wouldn’t have to worry about since it requires a step stool to get to it. It charged for from 88 to 90 in about 10 minutes. Quality is on par with every other battery operated cams in this price range. Probably going to grab additional units to spread around the rest of the perimeter of the backyard.

These are so easy to use. We bought a bunch and have them all over the house. They give a clear picture and work at night. Money wise they are a great alternative to more expensive cameras.

I ordered three of these the first day they were available. Set up was a breeze and they are extremely easy to mount. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS and don't attempt to short cut around them. FULLY charge the battery packs PRIOR to starting set up. As expected there was an immediate firmware update during set up that requires batteries to be above approx 30% charge to complete. Connect the cameras to the app PRIOR to mounting in a spot where you have strong WIFI and keep your phone blue tooth signal close. Once this was done I was able to mount two of the cameras closer to the house and one a full half acre back on the lot facing back to the house and pool with NO connection issues. I have had a couple of video captures from the cams not upload correctly to the cloud, but the app actually asked on these if I wanted to assist and report the issues to Waze (gladly, since I assume, again as with ANY new product, they rushed to market and are still working a few app glitches out). Batteries are still holding at 98% with a number of vid captures after a week up now...I do recommend getting their charging dock and myself will look at adding a couple of spare batteries to be able to swap them out. I am hoping they add product line such as the doorbells to this same battery pack line. The image quality on these cam captures is far superior to any of the other cams I have had in the past, altho I am still working out some of my own capture zone preferences. I love that you can link cameras to trigger each other when an event occurs...great feature! Extremely pleased with the cams and will be ordering 6 more today to work on getting the remainder of the property set up! Update: I ordered 6 more of the cams and again setup was easy and straight forward. I have 1/2 acre lot with a mesh wi-fi system through the home and one receiver out mid-lot and was able to place a cam at the rear of the property facing the house. While the 30' capture zone certainly doesn't reach the full distance, I love that I can set to trigger other cams on the property to also record (with the cam pro subscription) when this cam is triggered. Battery life seems to be holding up well, and the ability to monitor each cam is great, since life will be determined by how much triggering and recording occurs on each cam. I do notice a slight delay in cam pro notifying me of a cam being triggered, but nothing more than 60 sec so far. Next is to add a couple of the motion sensor hard wired cams down the side of the house and the entire property should be under surveillance. Happy with my purchase and product!

It died after 3 years. Tried to order another one but not in stock.

clear views....wide area obtained......a great camera and voice and spotlight feature.........

I regret purchasing the Wyze battery camera. The battery life is nowhere near what they advertise—it barely lasts 2 days, even with minimal activity. The motion detection is hit or miss, sometimes failing to capture events entirely. The camera constantly disconnects from Wi-Fi, requiring frequent resets. The app is slow and buggy, making it frustrating to check footage. Worst of all, customer support is unhelpful and slow to respond. Save yourself the headache and invest in a more reliable security camera.

So easy to set up an use. Batteries only last about a month if used in an area with a lot of traffic.

Awesome !!

Easy setup and if you have other Wyze cameras, it’s very excellent choice for outdoor surveillance..
