WYZE Cam v4, 2.5K HD WiFi Smart Home Security Camera, Indoor/Outdoor, Pet/Baby Monitor, Motion Activated Spotlight/Siren, Color Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, Works with Alexa & Google, Wired, Grey

Bought these cameras to travel out of the country with. The set up is a breeze once you download the app. The WiFi connectivity is great. I like that you can set up multiple cameras and create a group which makes viewing all of them easy. They are not very stable if you just place them on a flat surface (table/ counter) and often fall forward. I have a love/hate relationship with the power of them- I like that it’s a constant power source and you don’t have to worry about batteries but the downside is that you have to reconnect each camera and reset them up in the app every time you unplug them. The sound quality- both hearing what’s on the camera and the voice functions are great. I do find that they are ultra sensitive with motion, but there are multiple adjustments that can be made in the app. The night vision is by far one of the best I’ve seen for the price range. There is a slight lag when going on the app to connect to the live feed of the cameras, but overall functionality is great. They are a great value for the price.

What a GREAT little camera! I already own an older v3 version that I use in my garage to check that the garage door is closed, and it's good enough for that. I just purchased this newer v4 2.5K version and it arrived today. I just set it up in our living room. WOW WOW WOW! Incredible high-rez picture! We plan to use it to keep an eye on things when we go out of town in a few weeks. I like that you can turn off the camera right from inside the app (don't want it spying on us when we're home). It also has a little spotlight if you need it, remotely accessible from the app. Since I already have a Wyze camera in the garage, I already have the app and a Wyze account. The setup was so easy. Plugged it in and it started talking to me. Went to the app and clicked the "+" to add a new device. So easy. I also got an SD card so that it can record right to it without having to purchase cloud storage from Wyze. I think I may get another one to monitor our backyard. In fact, for the price I may replace my garage one v3 with a new v4. The 2.5K video quality is stunning. It also supports the wi-fi 6. It also supports Alexa so I can see the video feed on the Alexa Show. Can't say enough about this device Highly recommend it.

I've bought a few of these Wyse cameras now and my only regret is not buying them sooner. They are so easy to install, set up, and works the app. The cost of the service is very affordable at around $12.99 a month. You have two walk talking with these camera's. Meaning not only can you tell people to get off your probably now they can talk back and tell you what they are doing there. Or you can ask the mail person to hide the packages so your other half doesn't see them when they come home. They also have a spot light and a alarm.The app is amazing and so easy to work. You can do so much within the app. Like zoom in on the picture or vehicle. You can set the range of your camera's. They have night vision and so much more. I highly recommend Wyse Camera's and I've tried multiple different camera's including Ring and Wyse is much better and more affordable.

Main thing, these are good quality cameras. Very small and compact, easily blends into its surroundings and not easy to pick out as a security cam. Picture quality is outstanding and feature set is unbelievable. So for what it's made for, it's a great get for the price.The description is a bit misleading though. Read through the specs and features and it sounds like you're getting all these features out of the box....INCORRECT. You get those features if you pay for a monthly cloud subscription. That is all well and good, but that should be in the descriptive copy, easy to find before purchase.Now, other negative reviews say that you can't record activity without paying....that is not true. You can if you use a micro SD card. Finding the recorded clips isn't straightforward though.When you get notified of movement and open the app, it shows the live view at top and a cascading list of alerts below. Tapping those events pulls up a still frame from the alert period and tapping the play button below that prompts you to subscribe. HOWEVER, you can back up to the main screen, tap the SD shortcut and get a list clips that correspond to those alert times and then play back the recorded video. That allows you very basic security features without subscribing.One big issue there is that there is a 5 minute cooldown period between alerts. Meaning if there is an alert at 10:00, the camera records 30 seconds or so of video, then it won’t alert again until 10:05 regardless of what happens in front of the camera. On the surface, I get that limitation, however I can also see where it could bite you…..a bird flies in front of the camera and alerts at 10:00, then some jackleg walks up and kicks your door down and steals your stuff at 10:02. Guess you’re out of luck.One other bit of info that isn’t given – this camera is billed as indoor/outdoor, which leads me to believe I can buy one, take it out of the box and mount it on the side of my house. Seems straightforward, but no…it comes with a cheap, cell phone type charge cable and wall plug and the first page of instructions says ‘for outdoor use you need xxxx outdoor power supply’….which of course is $20. So your $30 camera turns into a $50 camera if you want to use it outdoors. That’s fine, but say that in the description.I’ll keep these and use them….will just keep big SD cards in them so I can actually play back clips without paying extra.The app seems pretty feature rich (if you pay) and works well. No problems so far. One feature you do have access to is setting notifications and how sensitive the alert features are for movement and sound, so that’s a good thing.So for very basic security cameras, these work fine. Also, if you’re OK paying per month for features they’re very good. Otherwise you might keep looking.
