Wyze Cam Pan Review- Can a $30 Camera Work Well?

[@utuber1000]

As a new subscriber who just discovered your channel, I want to thank you for the clarity and detail of your presentations. No distracting music; no exaggerated posturing attempting to look cool; speaking clearly and in a conversational voice so I don't have to keep rewinding to try to catch the detail; plenty of technical detail explained in a clearly understandable way. You know your stuff and I look forward to learning from you!

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Thanks so much! Glad you discovered my channel. Be sure to check out my website as well for more detailed reviews: bit.ly/2HA1T4O

I like that he actually did his “homework" before filming. I hate when someone reviews a product and that they're giving the wrong information and/or fidgeting and not knowing what plugs into what or can't get the product to actually work. Great video!

Loved this review, ended buying the Wyze cam pan for indoors and everything you mention is spot on and for that price you cant go wrong. Thank you

[@SecurityDotOrg]

So glad my reviews were helpful! You're very welcome.

[@marcosmaldonado6912]

I love this pan cam, it blew my mind. It does more than any expensive cam or pan camera's on the market. I will be honest, I never thought i will see the day when I Witness a affordable device combination camera and pan cam with excellent quality video's picture's and 360 turns, night vision, thee abilities that will do more and everything than an expensive cam or camera will do. Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marcosmaldonado6912]

Oh by the way? The zoom is awesome which I forgot to mention with the two finger pinch! Is phenomenal.

[@luislast6113]

Thanks for a good video. I have two criticisms, however: 1. While you went over many of the important aspects of the App, you failed to put the hardware through its paces. This is especially important in the camera's operation of motion tracking, the one area I feel this camera is most lacking. If you have put it through its paces in that field, you would have found that it tends to overshoot when tracking, losing sight of the moving target. 2. [Hardly anyone reviews the interface security cameras use with a PC. I am sure that I am not the only interested in this feature, and it would be great if you could add it to your videos. Thx!

[@djal1030]

Hey man, I was on Amazon and someone reported that on the pan cam, they could hear other voices. They contacted Wyse who gave them tips like chg your password and their and to end encryption handshake etc. They said that no one could access it they updated it and heard voices in another language. Have you experienced anything like that in either the v2 or the cam pan? Granted that was a 2018 post, but have you heard of security issues with these cams? SUPER important.. can't be having lax security on cams....

[@noelchong9671]

Outstanding review, thanks!

[@ShanellBryan]

Apologies if I missed this but can you access/view the locally stored footage via the app?

[@SecurityDotOrg]

You can access/ view the cloud storage via the app, but to view the local storage you'd need to pull out that micro-SD card. More info on the Wyze Cam Pan here: bit.ly/2I7Ql8e

[@kmacradio]

Online video storage is limited to only 12 second clips according to another reviewer. 12:33 - only 2 1/2 star ratings for both the Alexa skills apps for both the Wyze Cam and the Ring skills apps.

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Yep, we can't edit videos once they're up so the app ratings change pretty frequently. You are right that the clips are only 12 seconds, but if you'd like to make the clips longer than 12 seconds, you can pay extra for Complete Motion Capture. Here's more info about that from our website: bit.ly/2WMuIj4 And our full, written review of the Wyze Cam Pan: bit.ly/2HA1T4O

[@hannahhutchinson7849]

Love your reviews!! So you can't put this one outside? Can you recommend a good outside cam around this price point? Thanks!

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Thanks Hannah! If you want to use the Wyze Cam Pan outside you'll need to buy a protective case. here's a link for one on Amazon: bit.ly/2kLNAQL Honestly there's no outdoor camera nearly as cheap but the closest is the Blink XT2 which is currently $100 on Amazon. Here's my review: bit.ly/2NXTcFn Let me know if you have any more questions!

[@casasm59]

Great review and tutorial. Planning to set up a few cameras in frailing mom's home who is susceptible to falls. Is it possible to have multiple connections into the cameras using the Wyze app?, as my family will be sharing mom monitoring duties?

[@_Car_Ideas]

Mark Casas you can “share” access to the camera with multiple people. They just download the app and you will enter their email and they get a notification to accept access. Once they accept the can monitor whichever cameras you give them access to. Hope this helps.

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Hi Mark, You can share your Wyze Cam with other users. In the Wyze app, just go to Accounts> Devices Sharing> tap the device you want to share> hit Add a share and enter their email address. For more info, see my review of the Wyze Cam Pan here: bit.ly/2HA1T4O

[@imrickjames7012]

Yeah just setup, all the cams, then put micro sds in all of them at leat 16gb, then do a bulk firmware upgrade on all of them. And then share all of them to your peeps. Cheers!

[@LyndaE79]

Twice today, my power was deliberately turned off (I'm being harassed by ppl below me and has been getting worse being as management is related to these ppl) by the landlord/management (even the cops here are connected to these ppl and refuse to help).. I desperately needed this as it was within my budget, but because it works only on electricity for power, I of course don't have the footage needed. It also doesn't work at the window as I needed proof for legal aid as to who is vandalizing my car and porch decor.

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Hi Lynda, The Ring Spotlight Cam Battery doesn't depend on power so it might be a good option for you. However, most cameras with PIR motion sensing don't work through glass, so I recommend getting an outdoor camera if possible. Here's the review for that Ring camera I mentioned- bit.ly/30jnowx

[@1000KNg]

I am going to install a WYZE cam pan in my garage. Since it's going to be on one of the walls. How can I set it to pan only 190 degrees, instead of 360 degrees. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thx

[@SecurityDotOrg]

You can manually set that in the Pan Scan settings of the Wyze app. For more info, check out my written review of the Wyze Cam Pan here: bit.ly/2HA1T4O

If you get this camera, which I highly recommend, watch the wyzelab KZbin video for set up. It makes set up even quicker and easier.

[@papiwe1]

Great voice you hold my interest. My concern is privacy and internet security, can you explain...

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Thanks so much and great question. All your data (including your personal information and video streams) will be encrypted and hashed to make sure your identity can't be stolen. Each device has its own secret key and certification, so even if a hacker gets into the data package, they don't be able to decrypt it. See our written review for more details:bit.ly/2Tj7oeq

[@winko567]

does it have to be plugged in? is it rechargeable?

[@mochi65]

It's Google friendly company. It's listed on the Google home device list.

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Agreed! Both the Wyze cameras work with Google Assistant. See my full review here: bit.ly/2HA1T4O

Will the Wyze cam stop recording if someone shuts the WiFi off

[@SecurityDotOrg]

No, it will keep recording as long as you have a micro-SD card in it, but cloud storage will stop. See my full review for more info: bit.ly/2Tj7oeq

Great video thanks

[@motorcyclemd]

I moved from a house to an apartment; management can come & go. If they come into my apartment, will the WCPan continuously record their actions as long as they are in frame, considering I have an memory card installed? Theoretically, I would receive a notification on my iPhone, then cam I view them live, or communicate with them?

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Hi Charles, yes, you can set up continuous recording to the microSD card. Also make sure you have motion and person detection on. You'll be notified whenever the camera detects movement or a person (depending on your preferences). You'll be able to livestream footage at any time and communicate with them through two-way audio. For more info, see my written review of the Wyze Cam Pan here: bit.ly/2HA1T4O

Hi, I just bought it, and motion tracking and tagging is not working , even though it turned ON its not doing anything. I have contacted the support and they said they know about it and they are doing their best to solve it, but there is no ETA

Do you mean person detection? That was actually rolled back after a recent update- I included it in the KZbin description and written review- bit.ly/2HA1T4O They say it'll come back soon. Basically, they were using a third party's technology and want to make their own.

They are wireless? Can you link multiple cameras? How is the signal when placing them outside?

[@SecurityDotOrg]

Hi Dahvon, They are not wireless but you can link multiple cameras. I wouldn't recommend placing them outside unless you buy an outdoor cover. Here's one on Amazon- bit.ly/2kLNAQL The signal will completely depend on where your router is, but it could work if it's close enough. I would do a test with your phone before installation. For more info, read my full review of the Wyze Cam Pan here- bit.ly/2I7Ql8e I'm also coming out with a best outdoor wireless cameras review soon so look out for that!

How much storage does it hold on the SD Card? Can you buy more SD Card's for it if you dont want anything deleted?

Hi Dd, The micro-SD card is sold separately but it would be 23 GB, which would hold about 2 days of footage with continuous recording. Of course, you're welcome to buy multiple if you don't want anything deleted. More info here: bit.ly/2HA1T4O

I like your review however the two way audio is not true two way. It’s not true duplex. You have to speak and then wait to listen. The problem with this is you get a lot of dropped out audio from both sides and very slow communication. It’s not like talking on your cell phone where it’s true two way duplex, it’s a one-way audio unfortunately. The ring doorbell camera for example has true two-way duplex audio just like you are familiar with from talking on your phone. Unfortunately it’s technically one way audio in either direction

My model is located at 80 feet from the shelter and i have no major obstruction like concrete or trees, there is only 2 drywall's between the shelter and the modem. Also a camera that will not sound an alarm in the shelter or at least one which i can disable the feature in the software. With this i need a camera where i can operate from a desktop computer since i don't have a cell phone and never will, i just want to watch the cat in the shelter and have no need for storage and no cloud subscription either, also i am looking for something affordable.
