My guy, I was fishing around google reading about this cam. I looked up videos, and I was like "I hope he has a review, and it shows up on the side". You turned out to be the video I clicked from Google. Your videos first, everyone else second.

[@LifeHackster]

Thank you for watching!

[@nicsa1073]

Beware wyze cam does not honor warranty. I bout 6 after watching this guy's video 3 years ago. Hated the company ever since. Wyze has lawsuits for others accessing your home cams also.

[@eagleeyez1]

same same lol

[@pizzadave9812]

I just got the V4 and I'm testing it now so far it's been fantastic....the audio is absolutely amazing it's so clear I'm 100 percent satisfied with it. Setup was easy, the picture is clear and people always say the picture is not sharp ..... always clean the camera lens even a new one. So far I love it.

[@LifeHackster]

That’s great! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@sweet.insomniac4923]

thank you so much for the content you make. it was because of you that i purchased my first Wyze camera and have been a happy customer ever since!! The work you put into your videos does not go unnoticed!

one reason to keep v3 i realized all the newer cam they are not eligible for free Cam Plus Lite

[@tuandang8777]

I really wish they would do 30fps now. I have been with wyze since 2018. I think it's time by now...

[@Resist4]

Movies aren't even 30fps, but at least 24fps would be good.

[@dmo848]

I thought the same with the newer version but nope still the same. I guess it's too keep cost down. Idk

[@PatLyoutubepage]

I'm really starting to like the compact cube design for cameras It's less noticeable further away and easier to hide and that's from someone that has 10+ reolink cams. I don't think reolink will have anything similar to this design anytime soon. Detail looks good for 2k res. Only thing left is an all black ptz version.

[@naredes]

Great job Wyze 👏. Wyze continues to show they are serious about improving their cameras and keeping up with technology. Ring, Arlo, Nest, Blink and some others do not show the same commitment as Wyze. Reolink is for a few people willing to install POE cameras and NVRs. Eufy is promising and good for people who want to pay more upfront and not pay a subscription. I am fine paying $100 per year to Wyze for all the benefits I get in return. No camera system is perfect. Wyze continues to meet the needs for most consumers. Thank you LH for the review, I personally don’t turn on motion tagging since I find it distracting. I also like using the entire screen in portrait mode instead of the focus feature. I just ordered 6 V4s.

[@antlegiontips]

Try the Tapo C120. Its a Wyze killer!

[@ScheldonR]

I'm done with wyze cam, just for the fact that most of the features that was free when they first started are behind a paywall

[@Resist4]

And that their AI software doesn't work well when you set grid boxes and it does see things at distances, that we can clearly see. The camera used to but at some point Wyze reduced the sensitivity.

[@MrHeHim]

I have Wyze Cam V3's, Cam Pulse Lite is "free" as you can choose any price including Zero. Rolling two week cloud events and the Ai works most of the time but is limited to Person Detection Isn't offered for most of their cameras and the only new one I think is the V3 Pan I'm happy Enough with them 😅 but to each his own needs 😉

[@familygameroom4729]

This is false the features are still free.

[@Blitz0203]

No they're not! Cam Plus Lite is NOT a choice! So I'll not be buying this or anything else unless the Lite version service plan is available. All my cams are now V3.

[@fungaming683]

Dude, I don't blame you. I would be to my issues. They get hacked all the time. And they just discontinued. I think the first one because it kept getting hacked and didn't do anything about it

[@Stealther]

Microphone is better (finally) but still no HomeKit support and FOV is even narrower than before. You’re going the wrong way Wyze.

[@Underdog271]

Narrower should be better quality picture

[@Stealther]

@@Underdog271 the almost imperceptible differences in quality don’t matter if the action occurs outside the narrow field of view.

[@LifeHackster]

lol..on the jogging..

[@antlegiontips]

Yea, I like the Tapo cams much better too. And no monthly fee for pet and person detection. Tapo is a much better camera in my opinion, the only thing Wyze has on it is they get a little better distance.

[@tarabains5042]

Is the microphone better on the V4 than the V3? Always found it difficult to hear what people are saying on V3 recordings.

[@akorejepade1261]

Why is the nighttime video with or without the spotlight so bad? My Wyze Cam 3s seem to look better at night then the v4.

[@JohnPMiller]

I'd like to see a video of V1, V2, V3 & V4 all at once in different lighting (4K KZbin video). V3 do great in low light. Are V4 any better? I'm disappointed Wyze went with grey. I used black Plasti Dip on my white cams and bought black for the others. You make great videos! Thanks!

[@LifeHackster]

No version 2 on the socket yet.

So Wyze v3 spec's for night vision 4×940 nm & 4×850 nm IR Lights, Color Night Vision vs Wyze v4 spec's just 4 IR LEDs 850nm and smaller FOV. Seems v3 still better for night

Excellent and informative review as always

[@123.MikeCheck]

I like Wyze, but have moved to Eufy. The only reason I’m keeping my existing v3 cams is the Wyze app and its ability to view multiple live view cams on one screen. Eufy does not seem to have this feature. Thanks for the review. Great job as usual!

[@Jessica-wl3of]

How do you do this? Can you do this on the mobile app or just PC?

any chance you could do a video on what you would recommend store owners / boutiques? I would love to have a cam set up that lets me also zoom in to see what models of clothes we have layed out without having to go into the store.

I am currently working on a video about setting up in a business space. But you can always get a WiFi indoor cam that has a zoom, like the Reolink E1 zoom.

@@LifeHackster my concern is that the wifi connection is interrupted or other issues. The stores are around 130 sqm and shaped like and among us character basically. And I want to out it up on the ceiling yet being able to see the shirts folded since I can’t always FaceTime someone to go around. It’s also faster for me to be on the phone and give instructions than be there once a day. I am really sorry to bother but I don’t know who to ask since nobody who doesn’t ask 20k to help. I was also thinking about unify and poe. Thank you for reaching out.

[@LifeHackster]

@@sensnowy You can also go with an NVR camera system like Reolink.

[@kobymile5453]

Please advocate for the horizontal timeline. One reason why I don't want to switch to V3 Pro or newer models is because of the vertical timeline. Or they should give option to choose what uses want.

[@KyleCartierTV]

I’m more impressed with your video than the Wyza Cam V4. Well done, short and to the point, with really good tests. Thank you !

[@Thatsmessedupman]

Seems like they didn't fix the USB port to be better sealed if installing upside down. I had one fail because what are eventually got through past the rubber flap and ruin the lens. Doesn't look like they made any attempt to make a better design even though it was a design flaw they're aware of. Also I don't really see 2K quality. Maybe it's just because I'm looking at this on a phone and KZbin is only showing me the max resolution of 720p. But I still see the same shredding and ghosting, especially at night. I think their problem is they want to push their cloud services so they don't want to have a lot of delay for cloud uploads. I say plenty of us would rather have higher quality video and no cloud storage options.

[@Sgtmajorsir]

Yup indeed.

[@RobertoMezquiaJr]

Before plugging it in, add some Vaseline to the actual port and the plug. When you plug it in, it will seal it. I do this for my Xmas lights and it works perfectly.

[@warmon6]

Cool that the lamp socket is supported. If my current v3 fails, at least ill have a newer cam option to replace it with. Makes you wonder if the Floodlight v1 could get a little support love with this new cam down the road.

[@LifeHackster]

It should be. Hopefully they will add it.

V4 has the same resolution as the v3 pro. In app, my v4 doesn't give me a resolution option higher than 2k... and it also uses the same exact 4mp camera as the v3 pro. Not sure why I bought the v4. I don't see much of a difference although I'm happy they brought back the usb dongle connector from the V2 that they got rid of on the v3 pro, the dongle offers better water protection.

[@johndelabretonne2373]

Love you videos, and I always appreciate your analysis. Is this new Wyze cam really that much better than the regular v3 (not v3 Pro, which was worse than the v3 IMO)? I guess the daytime picture looks sharper and little more detailed, but the color night vision without the LED looked really grainy. I would have loved to see a side-by-side with the v3...

does your lights under the under hang when on , Help or distort the viewing?

I’m researching to replace my Yi/Kami cameras. Used to be great, but they have slowly stripped away features to push paid subscriptions. Wyze seems to be great.

Just wondering if it will still save nonstop video to the card. Thanks for the great reviews!

Despite excellent network connection frequently have to wait many seconds and reload many times to get live video sometimes doesn't get live video for quite a while. They also kill endurance microSD cards So many issues Tons with wyze2 before though less and unreasonable failure rate as well but not anything like v3.

I have a quick question unrelated to this cam, so please indulge me. I have 2 Tapo C325WB cameras that are brand new. I have discovered that every night at midnight I am unable to access the "Detected Events" recordings from the previous day in the app. It gets stuck at 11:59:59 and eventually tells me there are no recordings. They are still on the memory card, but to see them I have to remove the memory card and use a computer. This means that if an incident occurred at 11 PM, I would have to remove the memory card if I were to check the following morning (or any time after 12 PM). Both cameras do this. Is this standard functionality for these cameras? If not, do you think there is a software problem? Can you test yours and see if you can replicate this issue? Both cameras have the latest firmware, brand new 512 GB cards, and TP-Link doesn't seem to have any idea what's causing it. I like the cameras, but this is very inconvenient if you need to review alerts from the previous evening and I may return them if it isn't solved or this is normal. Any help is appreciated.

I noticed with a couple cameras[wyze, Yi] that were outside getting direct sunlight the plastic was getting kind of a dullness to it like car headlights I'm thinking about coating them with those UV wipes that they use for plastic headlight covers it's just a wipe on wipe off

[@oMAASADAZo]

Are the cameras able to move and follow motion or do they sit in a fixed position

[@a1-tk9ic]

Fixed

[@Brisky86]

Does it still have a screw hole mount in the base? 👀

[@LifeHackster]

Yes.

[@YukonHawk1]

Same old half baked Wyze cameras. Audio clipping and the startlight sensor is total garbage. The monthly fees will kill your bank account! I'll stick with Reolink and Tapo. Thanks for your review.

[@LifeHackster]

Thanks for watching!

[@pucheco69]

How can you see your cameras in a smart tv? Is that even possible for Wyze’s cameras?

[@jon27d]

I am able to do that with my Amazon fire stick

[@russelldye5506]

Compatable with Alexa witch is amazon fire devices or Goggle android tv

[@LifeHackster]

Wyze doesn’t have a smart TV app.

[@russelldye5506]

works with amazon fire devices & goggle tv just for viewing/ listening@@LifeHackster

[@a1-tk9ic]

​@jon2 7d yes you can go under routines and have motion trigger

[@allan640]

Is it compatible with Blue Iris?

[@Life-Of-Gary-Williams]

Thanks for your great Video. Could you help me better understand how I can use the camera (in terms of remote viewing) without a paid subscription? Can I set it up on motion and when motion is detected, then snap shots will be taken that I can see on my phone using the wyze app or even see and record the live video to my phone for viewing later. Again, only interested in what I can access without a subscription. Or without a subscription is my only option is to take the micro card out and read it on a device with nothing accessible through the app? Thank you.

[@LifeHackster]

Without a subscription, you still can access the camera remotely to watch the live view. You can set it to record to the micro SD card when it detects motion or 24/7 recording. The only thing is that you will not get smart detection so anything that moves in the camera's field of view will trigger the camera. Also as to notifications, you will have a 5 minute cool down.. for example, the camera gets triggered my swaying leaves, then every 5 minutes you will get a notification. You don't have to remove the SD card to view the footage. You can view it in the app.

@@LifeHackster Thank you
